As a former law enforcement officer and firearms instructor since 196l, I was personally involved both in academia as an instructor and in the field where I participated in many violent duty confrontations. During my law enforcement officer days, I quickly learned that in order to survive in the field, I needed to develop my own techniques, for what we were taught in traditional police firearms training classes was of little use in actual confrontations. It was amazing to me as I read Michael’s book, how his ideas and thoughts were parallel to those I had arrived at through my experiences as a member of the NYPD. This book is right on the mark. Michael has great courage to address the inadequacy of the majority of the current fundamental law enforcement firearms training programs and approaches. His in-depth findings will no doubt be criticized by proponents of the current nationally recognized methods. However, the research, study and resultant training program Michael has presented in this book are vital to the safety of all police officers working in the field and should be adopted by all agencies responsible for police firearms training. I congratulate Michael for producing a much needed study and contribution toward improving the training for all the members of our law enforcement community.
Jim Cirillo Foreword by

The debate between point shooting and sighted shooting advocates has been raging for years, and will no doubt continue to rage for centuries to come. For those who are interested in this vital debate, Mike Conti’s book has clearly captured and defined the point shooting side of this issue. Even for those who are not “sold” on point shooting, there is MUCH that you can learn from this book. I predict that this will be the definitive book on the topic of point shooting and handgun performance under stress, as well as handgun training in the point shooting school, for the foreseeable future. This is much more than just a training manual. Building on the true pioneers in this field, combined with the best available modern research, and powerful, extensive new research that the author himself has conducted, this book provides an invaluable insight into the psychology and the physiology of combat. Mike Conti’s scientific analysis and application of his many years of observations and training in the “House of Horrors” are simply brilliant. His assessment of the “puppy” or unconscious mind, and the application of operant and classical conditioning in firearms training represent the best writing and thinking that I have ever seen on the subject. I am very proud and honored to observe the material drawn from my own work, and I am honored by Mike’s generous acknowledgment of my contribution to this seminal text. If this book had been available to me earlier, much of it would have been integrated into my own book, On Combat. I highly recommend Police Pistolcraft to anyone interested in this vital field.

Michael E. Conti has written the
most objective and informative book I have ever read concerning police firearms
training. I believe this book should be required reading for every law
enforcement firearms instructor in the United States. I also believe that the
training program described within it should be adopted by every law enforcement
agency in the country. 
This is a brilliant, seminal,
groundbreaking work.
