Like I said, it wouldn't be the first time that an author submitted all but identical articles to two magazines simultaneously.
I know of at least one other such incident. That writer no longer writes for EITHER of the magazines that he burned and embarassed.

There is not a whole lot of cross talk between the competing editors until something like this happens, so a guy might get away with it, once...

I wouldn't blame SWAT or Combat Handguns. Sounds like Walt Rauch is the culprit, if that is the right word.
Any way you look at it though, "autoplagiarization" is crass in the extreme.
