Jeff John was my editor for almost 20 years, first at Guns & Ammo, then at Handguns and until recently at GUNS. I encourage you to visit his "Art inArms" website and tour the various galleries. I believe you'll be as impressed by their content as I am.
The historical and contemporary arms presentations evoke sentiments expressed by another longtime friend of mine:
Guns are beautiful. From pinfire pistols to Kentucky rifles, from Samuel Colt’s "equalizer" to the H&K battle rifle, guns are gorgeous physical objects, pleasing to the mind and the senses. To hold a 1911 model .45 in one’s hand is to experience ergonomic delight; to field-strip an FN-FAL is to thrill at the elegance of its engineering and the profound simplicity of its design. From the venerable Browning Hi-Power to the cutting-edge titanium revolvers of this new millennium, from the storied Lee-Enfield to the sexy new Steyr Scout, guns give eloquent testimony to the genius of man.Compare that to the ugly "artistic treatment" guns receive from those who demonize them and would see all but those in the hands of the enforcers destroyed.
Go to Jeff's site. Appreciate and enjoy. And tell a friend.
