Overview
S.W.A.T.'s May 2010 issue is packed with weapon reviews and training and tactics advice. Current ammo prices inspire us to take a look at Spike's Tactical ST-22 SBR for training economy. Kahr's PM45 subcompact might be what you're looking for in a backup or deep-concealment handgun, and we also delve into the details of building your own AK. Finally, we examine 6.5mm Grendel AR-15s – are they a suitable replacement for .223 AR patrol rifles?
Firearm reviews aren't all you'll find in this issue. We explore the trend of agencies including medical units in their tactical teams. Ballistic testing: If you've ever wanted to set up your own ballistics lab, or simply want an overview of gelatin vs Perma-Gel, look no further.
Don't miss articles on trigger control, spreading the self-defense gospel, and the habit of practicing with firearms rather than relying on pristine safe queens. All that and more, in this month's issue.
