Redemption in your choice of a new editor. While I certainly am cautious ('trust but verify'), I still believe this magazine has the potential to further the cause of freedom and peace loving, 2A-supporting Americans. I await many issues of proof of your support for the 2nd Amendment.
Don't see how anyone can argue with Iain Harrison, but to each their own. I got every issue and this newest one is one of the best. It was nice to see a piston AR - especially one I hadn't heard of. And I'd like to see more solar powered/SHTF type of equipment. Good articles - Great mag!
When am I going going to receive my subscription issue #6 ? It is already at newsstands but not in my mailbox?????
I must have been in a cave. I just got Iain's first issue (issue 6?), and I will probably subscribe. The 1:1 scale illustrations of firearms, equipment, and gear are very well done. I am a Land Rover nut, so I enjoyed the Discovery Series II article. Information on personal protection and preparedness is very valuable. I would love to see an article on home defense/protection to deal with intruders. More articles on honing shooting skills are great, too. Maybe you have covered some of this content in the previous issues, and I missed it. Anyway, keep up the great work, and I will be subscribing soon.
