I was out shopping for reading material for one of my best friends as he was having some surgery and would be out of commission for a while. I picked up the American Handgunner March/April 2008 edition.

I am a sucker for a good gun magazine, but I have to admit that the articles and lay out of the American Handgunner was very good. There are articles dealing with blackpowder, Cowboy Action pistols, and .45 ACP Thunder Ranch Defensive Revolvers. Just about something for everyone.  

As he was recovering, I poured through the magazine. The article on the Thunder Ranch .45 revolver was well written, and had some great points. As this is a .45 ACP they hit a home run with me, saying that this wheel gun would be a great addition to any ones gun stable that has 1911’s already. The addition of the light rail and speed loading of the moon clips places this revolver in the front running for a defensive tool.

Some of the other articles included “Paint Yer Gun”. This is not something you would see every day in some of the magazines, and I found it very helpful on proper steps to add years to your favorite gun.

One of the reasons that we bring this up is because we are resource for the Concealed Carry Community and we want to help point out some of the other resources that are out there.  

I bought his at Borders  for $5.95 and was worth the read. Not only did it help my friend and I pass the time while he was healing, it actually had some good handgun and defensive information.
