Every year the people who publish COMBAT HANDGUNS put out an annual called THE COMPLETE BOOK OF HANDGUNS.
For the last dozen years or so, it's been completely written by Massad Ayoob of LFI, and every year, in addition to the gun reviews, it's contained some excellent articles on training and training issues.
The 2006 issue just hit the newstands and one article is titled Ten Tactical Skills.
I'm going to list the them to provide a sort of checklist for everyone, and possibly some discussion points for us here. Of course, the article discusses each in detail, and I think everybody would find it a worthwhile read.

John
