C Stories

Jeff Cooper was a legend of American firearms, one of the greatest spokesmen, philosophers and practitioners of skill-at-arms of our time. Equally appreciated for his skills with the pen and with a good story, C Stories is one of his later collection of tales, observations and opinions from an extraordinary lifetime of adventure.

Sit back and enjoy as the Colonel recounts stories about the early days of IPSC and the evolution of practical shooting competition; great sergeants with whom he has had the privilege of serving and what made them masters of their vital job; rifle etiquette in the field and in camp; discipline and cowardice in wartime; the attraction and adventure of hunting in Africa; and, of course, great guns: the Scout Rifle, the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR), and "United States Pistol, Caliber.45, Model of 1911." Quite simply, C Stories is Jeff Cooper at his best.

The late Jeff Cooper was one of the true pioneers of weaponcraft in the US. His numerous accomplishments include founder of Gunsite Ranch, editor at large of Guns & Ammo magazine, winner of the Outstanding American Handgunner award in 1995, Rangemaster Emeritus of the US Practical Shooting Assn. and long-time member of the board of directors of the National Rifle Assn.
