This issue has evaluations of a take down, tack driving sniper rifle, a combination handgun/ submachine gun in .32ACP, a rather unique special-purpose 1911, a skeleton stocked Bushmaster carbine, and the underappreciated FN Five-seveN USG Model.
Gear evaluations include a hard look at laser lights for handguns, magazine loaders, LaRue Tactical's BattleLight, and Leupold's MK4 MR/T M2 rifle scope.
Read about training for intense high risk motor vehicle stops, hand to hand training against "juiced" opponents, a precision rifle course, and a fresh look at the "tactical reload."
All this and more for the January 2006 edition of S.W.A.T. Magazine–a hundred-page issue full of vital information for military personnel, law-abiding citizens, and law enforcement.

Question: Is this a handgun or a submachine gun? Answer: Both! If you think .32ACP is ineffective, contemplate 20 rounds hitting your target within two seconds! It's a whole new ball game!
