I was just reading one of the local gun magazines at our local library and found one of those bloopers that you guys might appreciate.
The magazine just got a new pistol editor and he was being interviewed to share what he will be brining to the new position. He had a lot of experience and stated that the magazine will not be rubber stamping the big mfg. products and will fully evaluate the firearms and not use stock pictures, only photos from the test and evaluation.
A few pages later was an article about the new Glock 21 or Smith & Wesson M&P (sorry, I forget which). Right in the middle of the article photo showing the author holding the pistol. Well unless the article had switched to Sig Sauer pistols, a stock photo had slipped into the mix. Gotta love it.
I was wondering how hard it would be to find talented/qualified editors and graphics artists who also have an extensive firearms background for magazines such as those. I just flipped through the magazine in a few minutes and was able to spot the mistake. Not sure how the publication missed it.
Anyone else find funny blunders in the rags?
