Prepper Press was kind enough to send me this book for review a while back (sorry guys!) and I finally was able to get into it yesterday.  And you know something? Mr. Markwith did a great job with this book because it is mostly about one thing missing nowadays: Common Sense.

If you have experience with firearms and good training, there might not be much in the book for you and you probably already experienced the troubles and the fixes mentioned in the book. But if you have friends that are beginning with guns or basic self-defense, you may want to give him/her this book and save them some years’ worth of experimentation and failure. From buying a gun to the proper storage, training and ancillary equipment, Mr. Markwith does not buy into the latest and coolest toy, but gives you the guidelines: It has to be proven, tested and survived Real Life. Maybe the option you need is not the brand new $2,500 plastic fantastic AR recommended by the gun store sales person (because, that is what the SEALs use in Iraq) but the $400 used Mossberg pump you found in a pawn shop.

And that is just plain common sense.

Again, if you are new or recently into the gun culture, you should buy this book. If you have more advanced training and experience, buy it, check it out and give that friend you have that you know needs it.

You can buy it via Amazon, in Kindle or Survival Mode (paperback) 😀
