Crossfire August 2020

In Wayne Van Zwoll’s “Optics” column in the June 2020 issue, on page 14 it says to push the scope rearward in a Weaver or Picatinny mount (when mounting).

Rat-ta-tat-tat! Take...

Will and I must be “brothers from different mothers” — along with thousands of our fellow Baby Boomer comrades who spent hours-upon-hours playing Army.

Crossfire June 2020 Issue

Mr. Taffin, after reading your article “Lipstick Bullets” in the most recent issue of GUNS Magazine, I was intrigued and ended up ordering 1,000 bullets of various “flavors” and styles.

Crossfire May 2020 Issue

In the March, 2020 “Crossfire,” one of my favorite gun writers, John Taffin, reported he shot more than 800 rounds of .454 Casull in one day through his Freedom Arms revolver.

Crossfire April 2020 Issue

I love the magazine, BEST gun magazine of the 4-5 to which I subscribe! John Taffin and Mike Venturino are my favorites.

Crossfire March 2020 Issue

I have it on good authority that the Boogie Man checks under his bed for Chuck Norris before he goes to sleep. Who, pray tell, does Chuck Norris look under...

Crossfire February 2020 Issue

All your writers are great and GUNS is and always has been a well written, easy-to-read magazine, but Doc Dabbs is such a hoot to read.

Crossfire January 2020

Okay, I know many of your writers there go wayyyy back with some of the shooting greats. I readily recognize the names they drop, such as Colonel Jeff Cooper.

Crossfire December 2019

Mr. Taffin, I found your article “The .455 Webley Part 2: Dealing with the conversion question” in the September 2019 issue of GUNS Magazine very...

Crossfire November 2019

Liked your article about the 1894 Marlin in .38/.357. I am working on a woods gun for deer in cover. My question is — does the microgroove rifling prefer...

Crossfire October 2019

Since you are an MP40 nut, re: GUNS Magazine May 2019, you may find my MP40 Saga of some interest. In May ’55 while on patrol duty out in the country, a...

Crossfire September 2019

I enjoyed John Taffin’s April “Handloading” column on the .30-30. I’ve always been a .30-30 fan. Since I don’t hunt anymore, my .30-30s are mostly...

Crossfire August 2019

John Taffin’s June “Campfire Tales” on turn-of-the-century era autos brought back some memories. My grandfather, Charlie Damon, also hunted whitetail...

Crossfire June 2019

Today I purchased the April issue based on the cover blurb for the lever-action Marlin 1894 in .357 Magnum. There is no mention of it in the issue. Although...

Crossfire May 2019

I read with interest the Remington 870 Tactical DM article in the March issue. The 870 is almost seven decades old and a tried-and-true shotgun.

Crossfire April 2019

I greatly enjoyed Duke’s February column on the .30-40 Krag. A U.S. Model 1896 has been in my family for more than 60 years. And does it ever have a story...

Crossfire March 2019

Enjoyed Mike Venturino’s December “Grease Gun” article. My father was a glider pilot in WWII and kept his M3 under his seat, but kept his 1911A1 in a...

Crossfire February 2019

As a long time fan of Winchester’s Model 71, I enjoyed Holt Bodinson’s article on it in the December issue.

In the August issue, Dave Anderson paints such a convincing picture for Ruger’s American Rimfire Compact in .22 WMR, “Rimfires Rule the Roost!” that I...

Crossfire November 2018

I was very pleased to read Jeff John’s August review of S&W’s .380 Shield EZ. I racked one at my local gun shop and bought it the next day. It’s an...

Crossfire October 2018

Mas Ayoob’s August column, “The Case For Big Butts,” reminded me of several big butt, short-barreled revolvers I’ve run across over the past few years.

Crossfire September 2018

While reading Holt Bodinson’s March “Shotgunner” column on the Huntego Cleanshot system, I noticed he mentioned using a Chinese-made Remington 870...

Crossfire August 2018

I did something that might be worth putting in a future issue. I started with a nickel Beretta Minx .22 Short. I then collected as many gold plated parts...

Crossfire July 2018

I’ve read Mr. Taffin’s article in the April issue on the Smith & Wesson .44 Combat Magnum and was puzzled by the following sentence: “It’s a...

Crossfire June 2018

I thoroughly enjoyed the article about Master Sergeant Roy Benavidez (April 2018). I had occasion to serve as his host when he came as guest speaker to our...

Crossfire May 2018

Enjoyed Holt Bodinson’s article “A Shotgun In Your Holster.” He mentions he likes to carry one shotshell in his revolver while in the field. I also...

Regarding John Taffin’s review of the “Polymer Witness Limited” in your March 2018 issue, I am a long-time user of Tanfoglio/EAA Witness handguns and...

Crossfire March 2018

Loved Mike Venturino’s column on “Cat Guns” in the January issue. The .50-95 has many happy memories for me. Mine is neither a Winchester or Colt, but...

Crossfire February 2018

Love your magazine. I have been entering your monthly giveaways each month for years. Since you are a California- based company and I live there, is it fair...

Crossfire January 2018

A great buffer column by Glen Zediker (November issue)! It clarified a number of things I did not completely understand about the subject. If I understand...
