Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Das Buch ist mit einer Unzahl von Fotos, guten gemachten und separaten Modellbeschreibungen und Kapiteln über Zubehör, Holster, Tuning, etc. wirklich gut gemacht. Alle aktuellen Modelle (bis G 36) sind aufgeführt. Ich halte es für DAS neue Standardwerk zur GLOCK, nachdem das Buch von Kasler "Glock, New Wave in Combat Handguns" schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen ist (Stand '92, Auflage '96) . Das Buch ist von der Aufmachung her Spitze, Qualitativ gut gebunden. Meiner Meinung nach sein Geld wert!

Interesting book, but some over-the-top opinions
18. Mai 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Living with Glocks contains some "advice" that is, to be charitable, macho BS. "If you are going to shoot somebody, make sure you shoot him dead" is the sort of thing drunken Rednecks say in bars because they think it makes them sound like "Real Men". Anyone who genuinely knows about self defense will tell you that lethal force is always a last resort, and even then you only shoot to stop an attacker. You stop shooting as soon as the attack stops. Period. And 99.999% of the people who carry firearms for self defense would be delighted to use a non-lethal means of defense if a truly effective one existed. But since "setting phasers on stun" only works on television...
Mr. Boatman is kind of like someone who wrote an otherwise interesting history of motorcycles, but insists on trying to promote the idea that that it's OK to to use them to drag race down main street during rush hour. If you're new to shooting, I wouldn't recommend his book at all. If you're considering (legally) carrying a pistol for self defense, then I'd suggest you start with the excellent book "In the Gravest Extreme" by Mas Ayoob before considering even leafing through "Living with Glocks".
But having said all that, if you're already a fan of Glock pistols, or are considering getting one, then you might find this book interesting. Many gun reviews just give you the sterile specifications. "Living with Glocks" goes further and tries to gives you a feel for what Glocks are like. The author obviously enjoys shooting Glocks and manages to convey that fun to his readers. He makes some good points on the fact that some "training" methods don't always serve you very well in the real world and has training suggestions of his own that are well worth listening to. The book contains an overview of the entire Glock line (although not the newest 45 GAP pistols) and separate chapters on several of the more intriguing models. Also included are chapters even more exotic (and in the US, severely restricted) silenced and full-auto Glocks.
Again, I don't agree with many of his opinions. I'm a staunch supporter of the Second Amendment myself, but Mr Boatman goes so far overboard as to give other pro-gun people a bad name. But if you know that going in, then it's still an enjoyable book. Read it carefully and you're sure to learn a few interesting things you didn't know before.

Not much here of any relevance
21. Februar 2006
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is just a collection of the kinda random essays about how the author feels about the glock and topics realted to shooting. It covers no topic particularly well and seems like a cash in on Glocks. There's simply not much here. Big type, lots space on the page. Chapter titles include "The Great Glock Watermelon Shoot" and "The Constituional Right and Social Obligation to Carry a Gun". Unless Robert H. Boatman's innermost feelings are particularly important to you, skip this one.

This book isn't really about Glocks
5. August 2003
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
It's about a self-absorbed, ignorant, and rude soap-box stand by a half-wit author who knows very little about Glocks, and even less about being a professional. (This is not speculation, it's proven in his book). This book was full of comments like, "They deserve it", referring to people getting shot that carry high-capacity Glocks that the author doesn't like. This guy not only should not have embarrassed the proud and honorable firearms community by writing this book, he should not be allowed to carry (or even own) a firearm because of his attitude about "shooting people". Highly inappropriate for a supposed "reference book".
If you want a book with very one-sided political views that's written by a big-talker that doesn't substantiate what he's ranting about, then buy this book. If you want to learn a lot about Glocks as I did when I made the purchase, this is not the book for you.
This author is dangerous because he is intelligent enough to write, but too foolish to temper his attitude, and WAY to heavy on unsubstantiated political rants.
