I received my first issue of SWAT today.

Woohoo! Looking at the cover (showing the Robinson M-96) gave me the impression that maybe George Hill was on the staff now.

The timing was unfortunate- since I had to leave for work shortly afterward- but I did have long enough to see some good articles on: the MAT French subgun, a comparison on old and current .50 rifles, an article on fighting with a shotgun, and (my favorite of what I could see in a hurried perusal) an article about the M1 Carbine.

The article was written by Leroy Thompson, who I enjoy reading anyway, and restated the reasons why the M1 Carbine was, and is, a viable choice for a fighting rifle.

New TFL member Pat Rogers has an article that is obviously information packed, and I know it alone will be worth the purchase price of this mag.

I am very happy with what I see.

Thanks, Rich! Thanks, Denny!
