It just keeps going down hill,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Gun Digest 2007 (Paperback)
Gun Digest has been going down hill every year since it sold out to new owners back around 1999. This year is a new low. Very few articles and many errors in the canned specs.

An Improvement,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Gun Digest 2007 (Paperback)
After the depressingly poor content of the Gun Digest 60th edition (2006), I had decided to not purchase the 61st edition. However, I did anyway. I was surprised to find that it was a definite improvement over the 2006 edition. While not nearly up to the standards of the pre-Ken Ramage administration (why is he still there?), it did have several interesting articles, the most enjoyable of which (to me) were those on the Remington Rolling Block rifle and the .38-44 Smith and Wesson Outdoorsman. At least this time, Ramage demonstrated good sense by not having any more knife articles, as he did the last time. There was one "foul ball" article entitled "The AuVer System" that was total garbage and has no place in any gun publication. Aside from that, the rest of the edition was at least readable and somewhat interesting, if not up to the high standards of the editions published under the late John Amber's editorial direction. Again, this edition is published in full color and on slick paper. All that does is run up the production cost. I'd far rather see interesting articles, and the money should be spent there than on cosmetics. Therefore, I'm giving the 61st edition 3 stars. At least, that's enough to get me to buy the 62nd edition when it is published.

Not your father's Gun Digest,
By GreyFox "GreyFox" (Dallas,TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gun Digest 2007 (Paperback)
Gun Digest 2007
Edited by Ken Ramage Handgus 2007 Edited by Ken Ramage What can I say? They don't make them like they used to. This is not your father's gun digest. It has been a long time since I bought a Gun Digest but I am about to retire and I want to revive my interest in shooting spoorts. My primary interest is target shooting with handguns. I expected to catch up on all the new stuff and read dozens of interesting articles and see all the new models and perhaps some fondly remembered old ones. Well, they don't make them like they used to. I was severely disappointed. Only 17 articles total. Many of them historical. The ones that are not historical tend to have long, boring, historical introductions. The Photography is absolutely beautiful. If you are interested in beautiful pictures of beautiful guns, buy the Gun Digest. If you are looking for information about guns, shooting, or hunting, stick to your regular magaziine subscriptions. If you are interested in handguns, Handguns 2007 is worth the money but just barely. It does not have the slick paper photography but it does have 21 articles. Still a lot of boring historical stuff about how one company morphed into another 75 years ago but a decent amount of real information. The catalog portion is a disappointment, it is neither organized or comlete. There are photos of guns with no descriptions and descriptions of guns with no photos. There are manufacturers who are not represented at all. Summary: If you are interested in handguns, buy Handguns 2007 only. If you are interested in beautiful pictures of guns, buy the Gun Digest 2007. If you haven't seen one on quite a while be prepared for a disapointment.
