BOB TAUBERT'S CQB PISTOL BOOK
In Production Now!
We
are proud to announce that Saber Press has a new book
project in production! Written by the legendary Bob Taubert, former
Marine officer, Vietnam combat veteran, and retired 24-year FBI veteran, this
book promises to become an instant classic of the genre.
Bob's personal
training philosophy, developed during his many years while involved in SWAT and
FBI Special Operations is distilled into this unique book. It will provide a
compendium of information and advice regarding skills development, weapons,
ammunition, equipment, close quarters battle tactics, and unique long and short
gun drills used to hone and maintain the critical skills and techniques employed
during SWAT operations and raids. We are thrilled that Bob has chosen to work
with us to publish this important book, and will do our best to do it justice.
More information coming soon.
