The only one I buy is Shotgun News' Treasury volumes and the occassional regular issue now and then both for the articles and the advertisements I would otherwise not be aware of.
American Rifleman I get for "free" as I'm NRA Life.
American Rifleman, and frankly the only part in there that I really read is the Armed Citizen. Mostly I thumb through it and then donate it to the magazine table at work... minus the label with my name.
I like Combat Handguns and Harris publications magazines, Guns and Weapons for Law Enforcement, etc., some of them are $9.95 a piece though! Too much so I usually look around at gun shows for them and sometimes find them for .25 cents a piece.

I travel for the us Goverment I live in motel rooms so i need something to keep me sane ..
I get Field & Stream and Outside (good but not directly gun related) for my waiting room. I don't subscribe to any others but I thumb through several occasionally at Wally World or at book stores. Most are over priced and not all that interesting or informative. Occasionally I'll read a good article but that is unfortunately rare.
I read Handguns and American Handgunner. But I'm looking for a copy of the G&A for 9/06. I would like to get the article about the the Colt Trooper from it. If anyone could help in that regard I would be very grateful.
I'll tell ya though, another mag that nobody's mentioned is the one that's my very favorite.
It has its own type of gun articles and also articles about a lot of other things that interest me greatly.
It's called, "Backwoodsman." If you find one, check it out.
Not fit for "dazzling urbanites", though.
Okay, just kidding. I read American Handgunner online (my library subscribes to it). I am unswayed by glossy advertisements, because they're not included in my library's database.
I usually just pick up ones that have an article or two that interests me. I'd like to subscribe to a couple but I get bored seeing a new pair of $1300 1911's on the cover each month.
Does anyone notice it seems all the major magazines review the same weapons each issue? Do they all go to lunch together?
The ones I'm most likely to pick up are:
Combat Handguns
Guns and Weapons for Law Enforcement
Special Weapons for Military and Police
Most of them are advertisements. "The Ultra-Lightfighter Combat Custom .45 threw a very respectable 4" group at 5 yards, only had a handful of failures in the 2 boxes of ammo I shot...probably magazine related, and costs a very reasonable $2500"
Too many really, but that's about to end. I've begun to find more and more statements in them that contradict what I know to be true based on my own experience and information I've received from people I trust.
I think that when the gun and ammo companies furnish the gun writers stuff to be tested they make sure that it's absolutely first rate. However, we poor suckers who have to buy the stuff often get second class items.
An example of statements I know not to be true was one by a writer describing the direct-gas impingement system of auto operation as being "...the most reliable..." one in use. The AR-15/M-16 uses the direct-gas impingement system and I don't think anyone would claim that it's more reliable than the gas-piston system used in AKs.
