Can anyone recommend a good firearms magazine

[pitbull88]

I would like to learn more about terminology, types of ammunition, techniques, etc. What would be a good magazine for that? I was thinking of joining the NRA and they have a couple of choices. How are these? Are there others you would recommend?

I like Combat Handguns. Not as good as it was a few years ago but still pretty good.

I love NRA's Americas First Freedom. The other version they have covers some of the same issues in both magazines.

I heart shotgun news, almost all other mags are just articles that are really ads, and they never review a bad product. Small Arms Review is also excelent

Join the NRA (if not already), great magazines and it is important for gun owners. Shooting times seems good so far too.

Guns Magazine has been around for many many decades and has a lot of useful info. They even have an online archive of their older magazine available free.

the internet can be a wealth of info to offset the books and magazines

Yes. By the end of most articles, I am thinking the author isn't all that unbiased.

I too would like to find one that is geared more to the science and mechanics of it all than to glossy articles about the latest covering for what is really the same .45, 9mm, .40 etc barrel.

I like and subscribe to "American Rifleman", "Guns & Ammo", and "American Handgunner". If I could have only one, it would be "American Rifleman".

A magazine that I like is Gun Tests.
As the name implies, they test guns and give detail reports. They buy the guns, they test, they do comparisons, etc.

INGO

I think Shooting Times has the most informative articles, they cover all types of guns.

I forgot about Guntests

INGO

There's a lot of bias there too but pretty good reading.

 

[LCSOSgt11]

I'm preferential to American Handgunner...JMO

 

[Gabby]

GUNS.... The magazine.

 

[03A3]

Three more.....
Rifle.
RifleShooter.
Handloader.

 

[fireball168]

Precision Shooting & The Varmint Hunter are all about I can stand to read, and the only ones I subscribe to anymore.

Compared to what they were 15 years ago, they've both gone downhill considerably.

I'll occasionaly pick up a Rifle, Handloader or Double Gun Journal if I need pulp for a flight.

I grab a magazine from the store sometimes if I like the articles/ads. Usually either Shotgun news, Guns and Ammo, or American Handgunner.
