I gave up on the gun press... not interested in ARs, plastic guns, or laminated stocks... and much of the content has been recycled repeatedly over the past 50 years. Another thing that bugs me is the focus on volume over basic skill present in many of the articles, i.e., magazine capacity and quick reloads vs. a single shot well placed. I went through an armed guard training course some years ago and used a S&W Model 13 .357 magnum... 4" heavy barrel with fixed sights. Everyone else had 9s and 40s... Sigs, H&K, Glock, S&W.  I was a far more accurate shot and no slower than the semi guys... out scored them all on the written exams also. There were retired cops in the course including a NYC transit cop who had been in three shoot outs. That guy was a hot mess on the range and possibly suffered from PTSD.  I have to say that I kind of enjoyed watching the guys around me flinch when that magnum went off. 😉
