What Gun Mags Do You Read Regularly? WHY Those? (Merged threads)

ExSoldier · February 3rd, 2006, 01:27 AM

I'll start:
GUNS, GUNS & AMMO, COMBAT HANDGUNS, NRA MAG OF CHOICE: AMERICA'S 1ST FREEDOM

I have been reading G&A since I was in the 6th grade. It is possibly one of the most influential periodicals I have ever read. Influential in that I began to really learn about firearms, and firearm safety at a very young age. This magazine, I think, helped steer me in the direction of law enforcement and a Criminal Justice degree. I love "COOPER'S CORNER"

GUNS I love for the SUPERB photography and a good balance of articles.

COMBAT HANDGUNS is an excellent resource guide for tactics and improving one's perception of personal safety in daily life. I love the column called: It Happened To Me. Actually, I love all the regular columns in this mag. If I had to prioritize my subscriptions, I'd just as soon drop one of my others to get this one.

America's 1st Freedom is an excellent way to keep current on the agenda of the gun grabbers, as well as the most current doctrines.

At the moment all I get is American Handgunner.

I like the custom guns and Clint Smith's Reality Check column.

I collect a lot of Jeff Cooper's stuff on the net.

I'll probably start Combat Handguns.

NRA also, First Freedom.

I read American Handgunner, Guns and Shooting Times. Once these subscriptions are up I'll probably drop American Handgunner and pick up Combat Handguns. I pick it up off the rack sometimes and the articles and columns are superb. And I'll second Guns superb photos, very nice!

I usually grab/buy whatever is on the shelf depends on what is being featured.
If the main articles are about the latest Taurus handgun & the new Uncle Mike's holster then I sure won't buy it.

So many "Gun Writers" have run out of things to write about.
So much in most firearms magazines is just rehash & BS.
I can usually find whatever I'm interested in reading about (that is gun related) on the web....so I don't buy the Gun Ragazines these days...like I used to.

I subscribe to American Handgunner and American Rifleman. I used to get America's 1st Freedom, and as soon as my NRA membership is up for renewal I'd like to switch back.
