At S.W.A.T., "good enough" isn't.
This year, we recruited the best and brightest minds to write on the subjects
of tactics and weaponcraft. Not a single name on our distinguished list of
contributors
is a professional author-not one. All are dedicated professionals in the fields
of training and law enforcement. The fact that they can convey their thoughts
on paper as well as they can verbally on a firing line is of secondary
importance to what they have to say.
While most magazines are scaling back and decreasing the size of their
publications, S.W.A.T. continues to raise the bar with new
one hundred page issues. We believe that when someone lays down their hard-earned
money, they deserve the best possible value.
That's what we intend
to deliver with each and every issue. Comparing S.W.A.T. to the competition
is like comparing veal to a week-old pizza crust.
Our March issue contains many new firearm evaluations and completes the series
of ESI training program reviews.
As always, we point out both
good
and bad
features
in
in-depth
articles. If
you're
tired
of a "good enough" attitude, you're ready for S.W.A.T.
