October 2016 issue of S.W.A.T.

Most subscribers have already received their copy of the October 2016 issue of S.W.A.T., and it goes on sale on newsstands everywhere September 6.

The October issue of S.W.A.T. features something many folks thought was impossible—a sub-MOA AK-pattern rifle. Rifle Dynamics RD700 DMR puts to rest the urban legend that an AK is inaccurate. Read the behind-the-scenes details that went into making this unique rifle.

Our popular S.W.A.T. Sweepstakes features the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield—one of today's most popular compact 9mm pistols. The winner of this prize package also receives 300 rounds of Hornady 115-grain XTP ammunition, Predator Gold ear protection, and a DeSantis Mini-Scabbard.

One of the most liked things about the AR family of weapons is its modularity, allowing shooters to customize it to their specific needs and wants. The "Frankengun" in the October issue has been assembled with parts from different manufacturers. How do you dress up the monster and what does it like to eat?

The .300 Win Mag chambering is suitable for a wide range of sniping and tactical applications, providing a ballistic advantage over most adversary weapons encountered. Christensen Arms Tactical Force Multiplier rifle balances accuracy, weight, and enhanced cartridge capability compared to heavyweight tactical rifles. How did it perform in our testing?

Asking where a wheelgun fits in an iPhone world draws interesting responses. Many shooters who have come into the community in the last decade view the service revolver as a throwback one-half step ahead of cowboy action shooting. Others view it very specifically as a pocket and/or ankle gun à la the five-shot J-Frame. Does the sixgun have a place in the modern world? In a word, yes, and we have an article about revolver drills to improve your shooting.

Other features cover techniques for shooting a suppressed pistol without changing the sights, a past article from Pat Rogers on the MOACKS tool, and a review of some gear that really works, helping you perform more efficiently. All this and more, including S.W.A.T.'s must-read columns.

Now in its 34th year of continuous publication, S.W.A.T. remains the magazine savvy shooters turn to for honest, comprehensive evaluations of firearms, gear and training. Not just for law enforcement, S.W.A.T. is where the man on the street shakes hands with the cop on the beat.
