To say that RECOIL Magazine got off to a rocky start is an understatement. Just as they were starting to pick up steam, their editor was roasted for a comment he made about how a certain firearm shouldn’t be available to the public. The backlash was swift and severe, as one would expect from the gun rights community. But RECOIL magazine seems to have put itself on the right track, hiring Iain Harrison for the recently vacated editor’s slot . . .
For those of you who don’t know, Iain is one of the good guys. Despite being from the United Kingdom originally, he’s become a true gun guy. He’s the anti-Piers Morgan. In fact, if the two ever shook hands I’m pretty sure they would annihilate like a proton and an anti-proton.
Iain comes to Recoil from his previous position at Crimson Trace, where he produced the most bad-ass marketing campaign I’ve ever seen. Before that he won Top Shot, and before that he was in the military or something. Anyway, you get the point — he has a bit of a pedigree.
Hopefully this changing of the guard will get RECOIL on the right track. Because as much as we don’t like a well-funded competitor gunning against us, we dislike false flag gun publications even more.
Nice to see the NY gestapo attacking the 1st Amendment as well as the second. face New York PIGS want you to have no rights.
Way to milk a topic to maintain grant flow…
Wodarz will be happy back in Poland. You must show a clear reason for purchasing a gun there.
The fact that we welcome immigrants from all parts of the world might very well be the undoing of what makes this country desirable to them in the first place. (I say this as an immigrant myself).
If you come to this country, then assimilate, don’t try to change it to an economically stronger version of where you left…..
Great Lenin’s Ghost, my people have been bucking history since long before your people crawled out of a stinking European ghetto.
Well I’ll file these two under ‘people not connected to reality’.
Maybe next these will come up with a study that says we can save the lives of rapist by keeping women from having access to a weapon for defense.
I’m sure the general public sees these buybacks for exactly what they are – quick cash. So many of what they bring are either rusted up pieces of crap or the type of firearm criminals don’t even want. What self-respecting street hood wants a single-shot anything? “Economic Stimulus” is the most appropriate label for these shenanigans.
Well it is about time!
Good to see some people are starting to get it.
So many works of art being senselessly destroyed.
Trying to quantify the mystery of human nature hasn’t really worked out too well in the past, and I doubt it’ll work here. This study is simply ludicrous.
gun buy backs makes me want to check junk yards for various crap and see if i can get them for 5 bucks and resell them to the city.
Jeez, I gotta get my eyes checked, it looked like a tub of wooden legs, Randy
I moved from NJ to NC 2 1/2 years ago. Best. Move. Ever.
I hated NJ with a passion then and didn’t think it couldn’t get any worse. Once again, NJ has proven me wrong.
“…discovered a positive correlation between gun ownership and violence.”
And? There’s a positive correlation between the summer time and violence. Clearly vitamin E causes violent crime. We should ban the Sun.
As always, Bruce completely destroys another anti with apparent ease… probably while laughing heartily and stroking his beard. 🙂
Iain Harrison is the worst thing to happen to Recoil Magazine. Jerry Tsai may have had a big mouth but he was a good editor, much better than Iain. Iain is NOT SAS qualified, get it straight, there is a difference. I will never understand what qualifies him as an editor but he should go back to working construction. Iain is poison for Recoil.
Caught myself in a little dilemma of principal’s a moment ago. Recently scratched together enough cash to pick up some magazines for my CZ75 SP01. I wanted a MecGar 17 and 19 rounder. CTD had them cheaper than anyone else after shipping. After some consideration and a brief Google refresher on exactly why I haven’t been buying from them I opted to spend a little more money and purchased my mags from Richie’s Outdoors.
In short, CTD can still suck it.
Recoil is the best magazine around for the action shooting enthusiasts. The previous editor made a ftiggin huge gaff suggesting certain guns don’t belong in the hands of civilians. Iain being made editor has a great backstory. He like the original settlers of this country fled England for political reasons. The English government demanded he forfeit his guns so he made his way here and jumped through all the hoops to become a citizen, have the ability to own guns and vote. Can there be a better front man for a gun magazine? Recoil recognized the problem with the previous editor and replaced him, they can’t do any more to make things right by the community, other than give no ink to a company like HK which doesn’t work to get all of its products into civilian hands.
Give Recoil a read, you will probably find yourself subscribing. If a gun doesn’t work the let you know as they are not beholden to advertisers.
To those that complain about the prices some of the guns they review. Car mags review porsche, Lamborghini and Ferrari, it’s the same for guns. I will probably never own an accuracy international rifle but I enjoy reading about them as much as I do the latest Ferrari super car.
