I like reading gun stuff on the pot. I used to subscribe to Guns & Ammo but it doesn't look like they're still around.
American Rifleman is pretty ....meh

Any suggestions for GENERAL gun mags?

I picked up a copy of American Handgunner but would like to find some more that aren't seemingly for combat stuff.

:confused:

Guns and Ammo is still in business, sometimes they send out special offers of one year for $6 or $7. GUNS magazine is IMO better than Guns and Ammo. Wolfe publishing has Rifle, Handloader and a few other magazines if you are looking for a narrower focus.

Guntest is one I belong to. While I do not agree with all their rating, I can find useful information on most guns, size, weight, trigger span, and general information. And a lot of guns from reviews from years ago. One magazine I do like now is from my Insurance USCCA and their Concealed Carry Magazine.

At the beginning of every year, I renew my subscription to Shooting Times. I found it more informative then Guns and Ammo, however I may pick up a different magazine at a newsstand, if the cover has a firearm that interests me. Current price by subscription is $10.

Here's some books if you've not read them:
-anything by Jack O'Conner, "the Hunting Rifle" is my favorite
-Cartridges of the World, older versions seem better to me
-Jeff Cooper, "the Art of the Rifle"
-Kris Kyle "American Gun"
-R.L. Wilson, "Ruger and His Guns" & "the Peacemakers" (both oversize coffe
table types, lots of pics

For magazines I still like Combat Handguns.

For books, I suggest Straight Talk On Armed Defense, edited my Massad Ayoob. This book has articles by many authors who are well-known in the field. Their work deserves a reading and a re-reading.

You asked for books.....William Reichenbach’s. ‘Sixguns & bullseyes’ and ‘Automatic Pistols”/
both quite old perhaps the 1930’s. but very solid information,,,he goes into detail in a very folksy way,,, Not a slam bam quick fix books,,, but good lessons to be learned.

Wayne Van Zwoll has some great books on rifles, optics, and all things shooting and hunting. Met him at a sports show 20 years ago at a seminar on rifles and hunting he gave. A fine, personable, knowledgable man dedicated to the hunting/shooting world. His is always the first article I read when my Bugle comes out of the mailbox. Usually on the couch when reading/perusing a new periodical...
