rifle, Tactical Reloading Of The Fighting Shotgun, History Of The Big Fifties,

a review on a firearm or other product, you probably have some specific questions
in mind. Did it work? Were there any problems encountered? Our philosophy is
to bring you the facts without a lot of superfluous information. To heck with
the garnish, we promise to take you right to the meat and potatoes that long-time
readers have come to expect from S.W.A.T. Magazine.
