It seems that everyone wants to be in the "high speed, low drag"
class of individual. Not surprisingly, most "gun magazines" often cater
to this mindset. But what about those who have been affected by the cruel hand
of fate and are in the "low speed, high drag" category? S.W.A.T. continues
to break new ground in the October issue with the article Disabled, Not Defenseless,
written by Tactical Consultant Louis Awerbuck. From wheelchairs to walking sticks,
this feature is written specifically for those afflicted with physical handicaps.
Although we take training and tactics very seriously, we also realize that a
steady diet of "Condition Orange" can create burnout-everyone needs
a little R&R time. If you're into cowboy action shooting, you will appreciate
Clint Smith's Guns Of The Lawmen, 1880s Style. Clint also takes a tongue-in-cheek
look at the Chipmunk rifle in our Off Beat column.
Also in the October issue, you'll find four articles on firearm/defensive schools,
two rifle evaluations, our usual columns written by some of the top names in
the industry, and much more.
