Gun Rags

[DMK]

American Rifleman is my favorite. It doesn't include a lot of GSC/Mall Ninja garbage and I really enjoy the monthly self defense stories.

The rest are pretty much only good for the excellent photography.

There's probably a gunrag enthusiasm curve. Pretty neat for a while, then you start reading the same stuff over and over again and eventually they are no longer interesting.

I believe people are a little jeolous of the gun magazines/writers believing that they are having all the fun without knowing any more than - or as much as the reader. It's probably true.

I suspect the gun magazines mainly appeal to the shooter who likes the new stuff- semi-auto pistols and state of the art, tactical, combat ninja ,extremely large penis technophelia scene. That's what sells the magazines and the advertising.
