Good firearm related magazines to read?

[Lebowski]

Hey dudes (and dudettes), Lebowski here.

I do most my firearm reading online, read INGO, reddit.com/r/guns, and reddit.com/r/ccw for info. I browse ImpactGuns and BudsGunShop all too often to digital window shop. I'm still a novice, but I love going to the range and target shooting. I'm a fond supporter of firearms even if not heavily edumacated on them. Was wondering what a good firearm related magazine would be to subscribe to. Something that covers things of my interest, like targeting shooting and personal protection. I don't really hunt, it's been years since I have, so preferably not a hunting magazine. Something that publishes a detailed look at new firearms and existing ones, good reviews and easy for a dude like me to understand.

Any suggestions?

Guns and Ammo. Good articles and gun porn and cheap subscription rate. +1 for me.

GUNS Magazine and Handguns Magazine are my personal favorites. Full of good reviews, info, and excellent writers.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm in Jefferson County too, btw! Good to see some southern Indiana people on here. Seems most people are in Indy or northern Indiana.

I think you will be happy with those! And yes there are several of us down here, but there's a lot more up North lol.

Recoil used to be a good magazine. Lately though they have had a few articles that are counter to trying to defeat all of the asinine gun bills out there.

I like S.W.A.T. Magazine, they have firearm articles but also have tactics, gear reviews, and general survival articles.

No one needs to have magazines that have more than 10 pages in them.

I do like SWAT & Combat Handguns though and they have more than 30 pages.

American Rifleman comes free with NRA membership.

American Rifleman comes free with NRA membership.

The place to start is American Rifleman. It's free when you join the NRA and you definitely want to do that. My favorites after that are American Handgunner and Combat Handguns.

I would agree with this. Just remember, just like any other business, gun magazines are out to make a profit. Don't take everything in them as gospel. There is some really bad stuff. I am bad at taking my own advice, as I buy most of the ones published.

If I only suscribed to one it would be GUNS Magazine and American Rifleman is much better than it used to be. For the buck, you can not beat a subscription to old favorites Guns & Ammo or Shooting Times.

I actually subscribed to a NRA membership yesterday and selected American Rifleman as the magazine option as well.
