Who are the next generation of firearms writers?

I would love to see popular writers that weren't afraid to say, "That new gun stinks like last weeks fish." It seems that, in the eyes of the reviewers, everyting that comes down the pike from gun makers are the answers to all of our dreams. 'Ya reckon why that is?..."
 
Patrick Sweeny! How could I have missed him on my first post 45 minutes or so ago?!? I had actually gone out for a drive before it got too hot and swung back to the house to add him to the list so I didn't forget. He is scientifically trained, a gunsmith, a competitive shooter, has worked in a gunshop and lived in Detroit, the USA's Beirut. And a heck of a nice guy in real life at the Bianchi Cup.

I always read "The Lower Forty" On the back page first.............Sometimes a writer can make it seem ya are sitting right beside him when the event was taking place.

Won't bite the hand that feeds them..............
 
Lately when looking for information on Google, answer is prefaced with 'AI'. Don't know what it means and just don't get it. Dosen't it take non AI to create AI? Is it sorta like Orwell's 'Big Brother'? Back to OP's thread...Dr. Will Dabbs. What a way with words he has.

It is Big Brother when he was still in grade school.
 
So I ask who the English authors are that I should be reading? I love the English language. English boasts a vast and diverse vocabulary, with a rich literary tradition spanning centuries.
The OP, Derosa, is specifically looking for the names of authors.
Yet, some replies instead make reference to video personalities!

The main difference between the printed page and online content is that the best writers write for posterity. Their work is worth preserving for future reference and enjoyment. (I dismiss current printed gun periodicals)

Online content, by contrast, is treated, and often created, as nothing more than disposable product.
Doubt it?
While there is some fine stuff right here on this forum, how much of it is remembered even a few weeks after it’s written? Most people can’t be bothered to use the search tools. So, the same questions get asked over and over.
(Thankfully, the moderators have created a notable thread index! Yay!)

But in general, nobody is going to write large, substantial work (for free! Ha!) for a contemporary audience with that short of an attention span.

PS: The last couple great gun books I purchased aren’t even in English! They include “Begegnungen mit einer Legende: SP47/8 & P210” by Armbruster & Kessler, and “Die Scheibenpistole” by Otto Brukner.
Oh well!
