SVG News (Security & Vigilance Group News) is a digital media outlet dedicated to covering the firearms industry and the broader ecosystem of tools, technology, and tactics that support today’s shooters, professionals, and public-safety communities. Built on factual reporting, hands-on evaluations, and real-world insight, SVG News delivers trustworthy coverage for readers who expect accuracy, clarity, and expertise.
While our roots span law enforcement, communications, and UAS technology, our central mission is to bring high-quality, firearms-focused journalism to an industry that continues to grow, innovate, and define modern preparedness.

What We Cover
Firearms (Our Core Focus)
In-depth firearm reviews, platform breakdowns, performance testing, industry news, and coverage of the latest releases from major manufacturers and emerging innovators. We evaluate firearms from a practical, end-user perspective — reliability, shootability, durability, and real-world application.
Law Enforcement
Patrol operations, tactics, training, equipment, incident analysis, and policy changes that influence agencies nationwide. We explore how firearms, tools, and technology integrate into the work of today’s officers.
Gear
Holsters, lights, optics, armor, packs, and the equipment supporting both shooters and professionals. Every review is grounded in field experience, not marketing hype.
Radios & Communications
Mission-critical radios, encryption, interoperability solutions, and communication systems relied upon by agencies and private users alike.
Drones & UAS
Aerial platforms, surveillance tools, legislation, and UAS programs used in both public safety and private industry — with an emphasis on how these systems support modern firearms training, documentation, and operations.
Our Mission
To provide credible, firearms-centered journalism supported by real technical knowledge and field-relevant testing. We believe in honest reviews, transparent reporting, and a commitment to the shooters, manufacturers, and professionals who rely on accurate information.
Our Approach
SVG News combines industry experience with hands-on evaluation. We go beyond surface-level commentary, taking firearms and gear into the field, gathering performance data, and listening to the professionals who use this equipment every day. Our coverage is designed to be direct, factual, and informative — no noise, no gimmicks.
