I'm just curious if anyone else here kind of feels like the market for firearms has similar ties to the cell phone market.
Are we caught in the "got to have the latest" "newest" net?
I read a lot on a lot of various websites, and I am inundated with new products. It's like no one wants to write anything worth reading anymore.
Frankly I'm disappointed in many of my favorite gunsites these days. Nothing but, "look at this product that just came out", and "we are the first to show you this new product". It's as if the sensationalism that's taken main stream media infected the one thing I appreciate
Buy, buy, buy.....
I like to read about how things work, history, what's going on in the military, local gun ranges and what they are doing. This is getting harder and harder to find. My library of bookmarks is dwindling.
Has this industry turned into a cesspool of busybodies trying to get the fly to go into the light?
Sorry for the rant. This is the one place I do enjoy as of lately that isn't trying to sell me some new form of sliced bread.
Everyone is trying to capitalize on the firearm industry these days. Companies coming out of the woodwork making the latest and greatest tacticool product. I hear you.
Shoot....I must not be with it these days, I just bought a GP100 and a SP101.... BORING!!
While not a magazine or web site...
I try my best when giving a muzzleloading demonstration to not sound like a commercial or salesman for a specific product or company.
Far too many magazines seem to have just become a commercial or catalog , instead of way to getting information pertaining to a given subject.
Not to forget the gun writers who love to "name drop" or flat out sold out to a company or product.
There is a famous Muzzleloading writer who comes to mind here...but that might be best for a different thread.

C'mon man..... don't muzzle yourself like that.
It has been a long time since I have read a good article where it kept my attention and was well written. If it weren't for this place I would go nuts.
I quit buying & reading gun mags 20+ years ago, because (not just the interwebs) they all said the same thing every time, just insert (specific gun here) and blah blah blah... not to mention sheite-filled "opinions" that are passed off as "objective".
