Hi There, Robin Taylor from Front Sight magazine calling. Duane Thomas sent me your post. It turns out that Front Sight DOES NOT keep back issues. We have a very skimpy morgue, to the tune of maybe four or five copies per issue total (dating back to when Michael Bane ran the magazine), all of which belong to people in the office. I'm afraid if you're looking for back issues, you're going to have to look for private sources.

Gentlemen, Patrick Sweeney pointed me to this thread when the talk swung toward Front Sight magazine. I took over the day-to-day functions of Front Sight a little over a year ago, working under Dave Thomas at USPSA. I can't tell you how encouraged I am by your comments about Front Sight, and about Gungames (I wrote for them for years, recently under a penname). I agree with several of the posters who pointed out that Front Sight can and should be the source for some of THE BEST competition shooting intel and articles going. I'm talking about stuff like Bennie Cooley's recent rifle piece, and Patrick Kelley's treatise on speed shotgun (who else would tell you a Benelli will puke on a .13 split? A Remington at .14?). Front Sight comes with some built-in limitations, but it has immense potential in its niche. What I could use your help with is in generating topics. I'm going to ask Patrick Sweeney to pick up on some of the ideas you've mentioned so far (Patrick and I were already on the holster idea), and I'll take the ball myself for some of the personality stuff. I'm always looking for good ideas, especially if there's a willing writer to go with it. Thank you for your time, Robin Taylor Assistant Editor Front Sight magazine robin@uspsa.org
