List of Blue Press classic firearms articles to date

[PALADIN85020]

One of our forum members requested from me an up-to-date indexed list of articles on classic firearms I have written for Dillon's Blue Press catalog/magazine, which I was happy to provide.

If any of you are collecting back issues, you might find this listing of some help. There's quite a few S&W guns that have been addressed. Hope this list helps to sort them all out. Some I have also posted here on the Forum. There will be plenty more in the future.

A lot of the more recent back issues can also be read at the Dillon Precision web site; just click on "Read the Blue Press." Usually, but not always, the articles start on page 40.

What happened to the Glock one?

Probably the only one to ever get a lock here.

 

[kwselke]

That is an impressive list. Thank you for sharing here!

There is a pretty large bunch of articles that are in the hopper for future publication. The Blue Press editor chooses when each will be published. The Glock article is one of those yet-to-be published items.

I'm not a fan of Glock and I don't bash them but your article was informative. It never hurts to learn. (almost never)

Keep up the good work. Most here appreciate it.

Thanks John

Let us know when the book signing is

That raises a question: is there a chance these could be compiled into a book or books?

I'd certainly buy a copy.

That question has been raised, and is being examined - that's all I'm at liberty to say right now. I'd be happy to work on a compendium of present and future articles, illustrated in more depth than is possible within the constraints of the current Blue Press format. We'll see how it goes.

[LouisianaJoe]

I know that I am being greedy. Now we need a link to all of the articles.

 

[Fishslayer]

Blue Press has articles? I usually just look at the pitchers...

Good to hear it's being considered a possibility. From what I've read of your stuff I think such a compendium would sell very well, make you a really nice chunk of change, and educate a lot of people.
