Congrats on the publication. Aaaaand where would one go to find said article?

NCPatrolAR · October 30, 2009, 5:54pm

The Surefire Combat and TActics magazine. I usually see issues on the shelves of Wal-Mart, Borders, and Books-a-Million

Thanks NC. Didn’t know about that magazine and will have to check it out. Congrats again to Steve.

NCPatrolAR · October 30, 2009, 6:36pm

No problem. I believe it is published quarterly.

RogerinTPA · October 30, 2009, 6:53pm

Congrats Steve, I’ll make sure to grab a copy.

I’m usually skeptical about magazines published by industry manufacturers, but I really like Combat Tactics. Wish it was more than quarterly.
I’ll look for the article!

Damn, yet another one without the followup to my last article for them. Nuts. Gotta get that photo shoot done

Congrats Steve! I’ll keep an eye out for it!

Just picked up a copy. As always, nice photos.
I’m working a special event tonight; saving the reading for stand down time.

GLOCKMASTER · October 31, 2009, 1:29am

Chameleox · October 31, 2009, 6:52pm

Great job on the article!
Class review, equipment info, photos, all top notch
Makes me eager to get to a Vickers class.

One of the nice things about Combat Tactics is that they let you go a little long, which means you can be more comprehensive in what you write. I’m limited to 2000 and sometimes less in other publications which can make it hard to get everything squeezed in. Not a problem, typically, with CT.

Some will criticize it as a “magalog”, but I think it’s the best of that genre for sure, and a damn bit better than many of the magazines without an advertiser’s name on the front.

Chameleox · October 31, 2009, 8:26pm

Bingo. I limit myself to CT, SWAT, and NTOA’s journal. Any other good ones I should be looking for?

Steve · October 31, 2009, 11:47pm

Agreed I was given 2500-3k words if i wished…

SWATcop556 · November 1, 2009, 12:13am

I’m the same but I also get Command, which is the publication for Texas Tactical Police Officers Association (see sig line).

I’m always on the lookout for a good read. I had hopes for Tactical Weapons but it seems to have gone the way that so many others have.
