Geoff,
I too was like yourself, and really gave Rich and SWAT a hard time (this started before TFL went down almost 2 years ago).
I picked up an issue and like Kobun stated, not every article was a "gushing" profile of any gun/knife/gear that was presented to them. It was honest writing with honest evaluations of the products.
They also cover more guns then most of the others. Most of the other mags should just change their names to GLOCK or 1911 because that's all they cover, with a fair amount of S&W to fill inbetween the Glock and 1911 reviews. SWAT does them all, and then tells you, the reader, the pro's and the con's without ending with "This gun sucks but we'd buy it anyway" as most others will.
And my favorite part is this, the Disclaimer, pick up a copy where it's sold and just read that, if nothing else.
