Here's my article on a 1979 news magazine profile of Jeff Cooper and Gunsite. It's an interesting look at the state of art in training and the "gun culture" of the late 70's.

Love him or hate him, Cooper was the pioneer for civilian defensive handgun training.

"The world of defensive firearms instruction owes much to Jeff Cooper. Cooper, a WWII Marine, was instrumental in bringing quality pistol training to the general public through his Gunsite training facility in Arizona...The video embedded here is from a 1979 profile of Cooper and Gunsite that aired on the NBC newsmagazine “Weekend” with host Linda Ellerbee. The profile shows Cooper in his prime"
