Endorsements - Lt. Col. David Grossman " The Modern Day Gunslinger should be every shooter’s bible! It delivers a straightforward approach to what we all know, or knew, or should know, setting it straight AS IT SHOULD BE and serving as a daily reminder of the natural bad habits we all have. It deserves to be on the bedside nightstand to peruse regularly — especially if you don't get to shoot often enough." - Dick Marcinko, aka Rogue Warrior "Great book! The Modern Day Gunslinger should be read by everyone who owns or is considering owning a firearm. Don Mann calls upon his vast experience as a “shooter” to cover all aspects of shooting but most importantly the mental aspects. He correctly stresses that anyone can shoot at a paper target but not everyone is prepared to shoot at another person in self defense. This is the best and most concise compendium on weapons defensive tactics I’ve seen!" - Robert Gormly
" I’ve been both a student and an instructor of firearms safety, marksmanship and tactics for almost 40 years. During all those years, all those venues and all the courses attended and conducted, I’ve never encountered anything that comes as close to saying it all as The Modern Day Gunslinger does. I know there will be instructors and students who will be reading MGD for decades to come. This book will save lives." - Dick Conger "This is the most all-encompassing book on shooting I have ever seen. The complete breakdown of every aspect of combat shooting is meticulously discussed, giving the shooter the concrete fundamentals necessary for fully developed gunslinger skills. Many how-to manuals try to walk a fine line between covering every detail without boring the reader and trying to hit only the high points to keep the information flowing. Don’s writing style has changed the rules altogether. Not only is there a fantastic level of detail, but the facts are presented in a crystal clear fashion, illuminating the fine points in a dynamic approach that allows the reader to enjoy the process and not be intimidated by dry prose. I recommend this book for everybody, whether you are a local shooting champion or a novice who has never held a gun before. If you are even thinking about improving your tactical shooting ability, put all the other books back on the shelf: you have found everything you need in The Modern Day Gunslinger." - Dan Bolchoz
" Don Mann’s book, The Modern Day Gunslinger, is a must-read for law enforcement officers, security professionals, military or civilians wanting to improve their combat firearms skills. Superbly written, comprehensive and easy to understand, this book is a no-nonsense approach to firearms handling, marksmanship and tactics. Although there are many firearms-related resources on the market, The Modern Day Gunslinger contains the most up-to-date and current information in the ever-changing world of combat firearms. I consider this book to be essential reference material and will highly recommend it to my students without reservation." - Jimmy B. "A comprehensive defensive tactical training guide has been long overdue. Don Mann has filled that gap. The Modern Day Gunslinger is an all-inclusive manual that addresses safety, equipment, tactics and best practices for all shooters. Don and I served together at two different SEAL Commands. I owned an indoor shooting range in Tucson, Arizona for 10 years and only wish that Don had published this manual then. As an NRA instructor and Arizona Concealed Carry Weapons instructor, I can state emphatically that this manual would have been the only reference my instructors and I would have needed. It would have been mandatory reading for all students." - Dan. T. Coulter
"As an FBI agent I have instructed government agents in small arms and tactics from all over the world. The Modern Day Gunslinger is an invaluable resource to the FBI and other US government agencies. I have taught firearms, hostage rescue, tactics and street survival to every level of law enforcement and this book is the only manual that covers every detail of today’s gunfighting issues." - Roger D. Browning (Ret.) "Don Mann is an outstanding example of the military men this nation produces, and a top-notch tactical operator and instructor. The Modern Day Gunslinger is designed for the novice and expert alike, whose needs range from home defense to government and military missions. It is a very interesting read, chock full of information that may save your life or the life of another. It will have a special place in my library." -Edward J. Pollard "During my 25-year career I worked and trained throughout the world as a government weapons and tactics instructor with the CIA, and as an undercover law enforcement officer. Until now there has not been a single comprehensive training manual that references all the defensive training and shooting procedures currently taught to the world’s most elite military and law enforcement units. The Modern Day Gunslinger unlocks the fundamental training secrets in a clear and concise manner, and illuminates a tangible approach to the world of defensive and tactical shooting." - Jon F.
"Don Mann has produced a true quality, top notch, product with his book “The Modern Day Gunslinger”. Don lays it out in layman’s terms and covers the whole gambit of shooting skills that build and develop sound shooting techniques from novice to top-notch shooters. Utilizing Don’s guidance and skills related in this book, shooters will be able to achieve that higher ability of shooting perfection that will allow them to save lives and be able to return to their loved ones. This is, without a doubt, the most comprehensive, easy to read and understandable instructional shooting book I have ever seen. This is the type of book that will be the milestone on which books on shooting, shooting skills; marksmanship, defensive use of weapons; practical combat applications of weapons and mind set will be measured in the future." - Jim G. "Finally, a one-stop source for weapons tactics, techniques and procedures. I’ve spent a career in Special Operations, conducting overt, covert and clandestine operations, learning this all the hard way. Now someone has finally made it simple. Don Mann is a true Quiet Professional. Thanks to him you can simply learn from the best, skip the trial and error, and start concentrating on putting rounds on target." -Major Luther Papenfus
"A wide-ranging, detailed compendium of the art and philosophy of shooting, written by an experienced SEAL and student of both. This is a MUST READ for anyone wishing to understand or master that art." -Dan'l Steward "As a Chief of Law enforcement and Firearms Instructor, witnessing Don Mann speak and instruct is an extremely motivating experience. His professional, calm and confident demeanor is a quality that sets Don apart from other weapons and tactics instructors. Students listen and learn — knowing every word spoken is from years of real-world operational experience. I know of no other person who has mastered his craft more expertly and I know of no better defensive training manual than The Modern Day Gunslinger." -
Jan Wright
"I trained and deployed overseas with Don Mann and have known him well for over 25 years. Don is a world class weapons instructor and The Modern Day Gunslinger is a testament to Don's knowledge as a handgun instructor. The Modern Day Gunslinger is an excellent resource for everyone that has an interest in weapons training - from the military or law enforcement weapons instructor to the novice interested in home defense.
- Randy Goodman "Don Mann is a true warrior. He speaks from a place of knowledge and experience, and has truly “been there, done that.” By writing The Modern Day Gunslinger he has done an incredible service to the law enforcement, military and private security communities, not to mention the everyday warriors who understand today’s reality: that each one of us is responsible for our own survival." - Niki Anderson "During the last 45 years, I have carried a variety of weapons as a combat Marine, a Secret Service Law enforcement Officer and a USG security contractor. There can be grave legal consequences for anyone improperly carrying or discharging a firearm. My recommendation would be that no one pick up a firearm until they read what Don Mann has written. The Modern Day Gunslinger will assist all levels of shooters by presenting clear-cut information covering every aspect of firearm safety and training." - Bill Wamsley "I personally learned so much from The Modern Day Gunslinger, which I consider to be a complete instructional manual for defensive shooting. More importantly, it clearly addresses the responsibility and accountability issues for using a weapon in self-defense. Don Mann addresses the mental aspects that are fundamentally most important in the use of a handgun for self-defense. This book is a terrific tool for beginners and veteran handgun owners who may someday be called to act with a handgun to preserve life, as well as take it. Quite frankly, I found it difficult to put down." - Dr. Raymond Fritz "The USMC taught me how to use firearms effectively in combat situations. The Modern Day Gunslinger builds in depth on this knowledge and experience by clearly discussing safe and effective use of weapons and tactics in civil society, home and personal protection, as well as unusual circumstances. Don Mann's devotion to practicing and teaching these techniques makes this outstanding book a classic in the field. Not only a must read, but an essential study for any shooter." - William Davis, Ph.D.
"The Modern Day Gunslinger is a versatile and effective compilation of range safety practices, marksmanship techniques and combat tactics that will benefit both novice and advanced shooters in many arenas." - Paul F. Kelly "The Modern Day Gunslinger is a realistic, practical, easy-to-comprehend manual of the small arms tactics, techniques and procedures used successfully by our professional and military gunfighters. I recommend this book as an essential reference to anyone committed to perfecting their firearms handling skills." - John Stann "Don Mann's The Modern Day Gunslinger is a concise, practical book on defensive tactical shooting. It is an essential read for anyone from the gun owner interested in home protection to the seasoned military or law enforcement professional. The techniques presented from mindset and "survivor's awareness" to marksmanship and then on to tactics is, without doubt, the clearest presentation of defensive shooting I have ever read. This book is highly recommended to anyone interested in seriously improving their shooting skills!" - Norm Creel "I believe ‘The Modern Day Gunslinger’ to be an ideal handbook for all shooters.
