KDINHURGM WWW.RIFLEMAN.ORG.UKPREF ACE It may be said that there is already a sufficiency of books on the one-hand gun and its uses. Some , justification for an addition to the list might be considered to exist if the subject could be presented from a different angle, and that is what is now attempted. SJiooting to Live describes methods developed and practised during an eventful quarter of a century and adopted, in spite of their unorthodoxy, by one police organisation after another in the Far East and elsewhere. It is the authors' hope that their relation of these methods ma}' contribute to the efficiency, and therefore safety, of those whose lot it is to use the one-hand gun in the course of duty. W. E .
