Well, after much dithering and procrastinating I finally subscribed to SWAT a few days ago. I've loved the magazine since it covered the Beslan massacre, but it took Jeff Randall to motivate me to sign up. Between his insightful article on the border and the love he showed to the .22rf, I was sold. Thanks for your dedication to customer service and more signal, less noise. I may be low speed and high drag but you still offer much I can use.

There are two areas I'd love to see your unique no BS treatment of; body armor and NOD's. Both are huge investments (especially on an E-3's salary); both are areas where hard facts are scarce and difficult to obtain; and both are confusing to the average fellow who isn't in the industry. I'd love to see both an overview of the current state of the industry, as well as reviews of specific products and producers. Any chance we'll be seeing this type of article in the near future?
