Spring into action with the May issue of S.W.A.T., featuring a review of the Stonewall Arms Krebs Custom SBR AK, as well as up-close looks at the budget CZ-82 Czech service pistol and classic U.S. military trench shotguns.

We know you're always on the lookout for practical applications, and so we also feature articles on how to stretch your 2013 training budget, take a brief look at making your own survival pottery, and taking on the debate over the role competition shooting can play in keeping defense skills sharp.

They say March comes in like a lion, and so does the March issue of S.W.A.T. Magazine! Once again we bring you the high quality reviews of training you've come to expect, from a feet-on-the-ground look at shoothouse safety to a primer on CQB in the cramped aisle of an airliner.

You get your full monthly ration of gear reviews, too! There's a review of the Elzetta Design line of flashlights, a hands-on test of Special Ops Tactical's Hanson 14.5 rifle, a look at Taurus's 738 TCP pocket pistol, and much more.

S.W.A.T. Magazine storms into the new year with a feature-packed January issue! The big names are all here, from a review of Ken Hackathorn's Defensive Shoot House Course to Tom Givens giving an historical perspective on the old debate between point-shooting and sighted fire. Continuing the theme of preparedness is a look at smart food storage: Do you eat what you store and store what you eat?

On the hardware side of things, there's an in-depth examination of Red Jacket Firearms' ZK-MR AK pattern rifle, we go hands-on with the Sionics Patrol Rifle III XL, and Ethan Johns looks at using a KWA Airsoft M4 carbine for backyard skills-reinforcement drills.
