Shootout II, and The Shotgun in Combat: by Tony Lesce
Lesce was a prolific writer in the 80’s and 90’s. My copies were published in 1981 and 1984 respectively. I doubt that either book is still in print, but used copies seem to be available through online searches. I had a brief correspondence with Tony at least ten years ago which was as straight to the point as his writing. His books are sprinkled with a combination of photographs and illustrations and packed with no frills information. Surprising little of it is outdated. The interesting thing about these books is that Tony avoids no taboo subject in his writings, covering topics such as “throwaway guns” and execution killing. He also covers seldom discussed topics such as the merits of “Dutch loading” a firearm, i.e., loading two or more different types of ammunition into a firearm (for example alternating hollow points and hardball ammo, or slugs and buckshot in a shotgun.)
