…not because I have articles and columns in them, but because these will be the collectible last print issues.
Both are planned to continue as online publications, at www.gunsmagazine.com and www.americanhandgunner.com.
Guns debuted in 1955 as America’s first dedicated newsstand gun magazine. American Handgunner hit the stands in 1976 as the first gun magazine devoted entirely to pistols and revolvers. I’ve written for both since the Seventies. They were widely considered the best of their kind.
Print magazines are rapidly disappearing along with daily newspapers. Magazine racks are shrinking or disappearing entirely from retail stores. It’s a sad thing for us Boomers to watch.
Sorry to se the end of print for both of these. Two questions come to mind – what will become of the unused subscription (paid through 2028)?
More importantly, what will become of The Ayoob Files? Will you continue that feature into the on-line only world?
Hopefully yes on Ayoob Files. I expect subscribers will either get a refund or another magazine.
