I’ve always had the impression Todd was fast but I didn’t know he had anger management issues? I’ll have to break my self imposed rule of not buying gun rags anymore and pick up a copy. Congrats Todd!
In fairness, S.W.A.T. is one of only two magazines I know of that review more training classes than firearms. (The other would be Concealed Carry Magazine.) I liked ’em both so much, I took the check. 🙂
I completely agree, SWAT and CCM seem to be two of the least bias and most objective gun magazines out there. I have a subscription to CCM and occasionally find myself enticed to buy SWAT because the training class articles seam so interesting.
Anger management was resisting the urge to use a dremel when trying to remove some Glock floorplates earlier this week. Four armorers/gunsmiths all recommended using a vice. A vice! For floorplates!
“This is what they taught us in the armorers class.”
Yeah, but it’s more fun to tell people: “Okay, with one hand, squeeze the mag body as hard as you can. Now, with your other hand, use a punch to depress the button in the floorplate. Okay, now with your third hand…” 😀
I can say, without any reservation whatsoever, that those were by far the best 6 pages of S.W.A.T. Magazine that I have ever read. I just wish I could think of a way to get an autographed copy…
But seriously, that is genuinely awesome. Congrats!
Nice! Cant wait to check it out.
Oh yeah.
Got mine, will study the article.
nothing like a little TLG
Congrats on the good press.
Nice Todd!
Very cool!
“Fast and Furious”… *snicker*
I guess we know what the sequel will be called…
so I guess you’re gonna need a bigger hat now?
“Before I took Todd’s class, I was only mildly quick and moderately peeved, now I’m…”
Orange layout and everything. Excellent.

I hope Todd was using the “downgraded” -WORKING- Glock for the article. haha
Congrats, Todd!

Well at least you won’t have to worry about them falling off when they hit the floor or when inserted. LOL
RSA-OTC,
I can hear Gaston now: “Zey say my floorplates pop off too easy? I’ll show zem!” 😀
Todd – Did you try this method for floor plate removal?

Why are you dressed like a bumble bee?
My panda costume was at the dry cleaner’s.

The best part about CCM, at least in my opinion, is that witty (and yet modest!) genius they have writing their back page column… 😉
Dude, your famous, and they caught you demoing your secret point shooting technique. 😉
Apparently I don’t know the difference between “your” and ” you’re.”
I’m Pissed. Went to Barnes & Nobel this morning where I usually source SWAT magazine and all the had out was last month’s issue.
Todd,
Here is a Glock mag floorplate removal tool you can pick up at home depot. Just remove the yellow rubber jaws to concentrate the clamping force.

That was a very good article.
Way to go, Ed and Todd.
