Think for yourself. Question authority.
Sorry! I didn't mean it like that. The thing is that I really like writing for print magazines, but the sad fact is that circulation is down, revenue is down, and sometimes it's not easy to convince editors to go out on a limb and run content like this. So when people just read the magazines in B&N and then put them back on the shelf, when the store goes to renew their contract they order 10 fewer magazines per month, which causes a nasty chain reaction.
Just as an example, I'm writing a review of a Tanfoglio Witness Elite right now...and I feel SO DIRTY.
I'm riding the line then.
I get what you are saying Caleb about print mags. What sucks though is they are stuck in that rut ... the mags ... after years of running nothing but fluff and full page GALCO and KIMBER ads. It turned many of us off to the point we stopped subscribing.
It's good to see the up-trend in articles about training. I hope the print mags make a comeback. I really do.

I enjoy the written word, but I prefer electronic publication to that of actual printed media.
