At a time when the semiauto pistol has become the issue handgun for our police and military and the handgun of choice for a lot of citizens, the snubby holds its own. It is available in a wider range of calibers, weights and finishes than at any time in its history. It continues to serve as a dependable backup weapon for the police officer, and it is a highly popular choice with the legally armed citizen. In this book, former CIA operative and longtime Combat Handguns columnist Ed Lovette pays homage to the short-barreled revolver, or snubby, holding it up as the timeless standard in concealed carry, backup and extreme close quarters (ECQ) defensive weapons. He also addresses the four most common complaints about the snubby - grip, front sight, trigger and ammo capacity - and presents viable ways to remedy those issues based on his personal experience. Lovette devotes the second half of the book to defensive tactics, running the gamut from basic personal defense to strategic planning for extraordinary situations such as surveillance and carjackings to considerations specific to the use of the pocket revolver. This book is a must for anyone seeking objective, practical insight into the snub-nose revolver's enduring value.

If you are interested in your personal security you should read this book. Ed Lovette was my branch chief at a CIA training facility. His branch, composed of paramilitary operations officers, was responsible for the personal security training of deploying CIA personnel. Since we were all former military or police (Ed was both), our natural inclination was to teach tactics and practices based on military or police objectives. Ed revolutionized the training. He based the instruction on the fact that Agency officers would survive, in large part, based on their appearing to be unarmed civilians, and their ability to employ appropriate defensive tactics. Ed investigated every violent incident involving Agency officers for the previous twenty years, interviewing the victims whenever possible. He also developed a program in which instructors traveled to the most dangerous overseas posts to interview former students. Combining this with his previous research and experience, he developed superb, realistic, and meaningful training. Some have credited this with saving their lives. Ed has obviously continued his exhaustive research for this book, basing his findings on logic and real-life probabilities rather than speculation. If you want to know about the snub-nosed revolver in extreme close quarters, as backup, or for concealed carry, this book is a must. - Richard N. Bradford, Author of Personal Security
