No, never. I can't recall ever seeing a truthful article in a gun magazine. They are simply salesmen for their sponsors. Why do you think S&W and Kimber place so many adverts in American Handgunner? Ever seen a bad review in that gunrag of a S&W or Kimber product?
I would never base a purchase on the writings in some gunrag.

Still haven't ever seen a negative review for any product, in a magazine on any topic, to this day.No, never. I can't recall ever seeing a truthful article in a gun magazine.
