The worst articles are by Headrick - practically undecipherable. But his photos are great - in fact guns usually look better in the photos than in real life.

The writing is not great, but that bothers me less than it used to given that I have over time begun to understand more about writers and therefore have less respect for them as a group. It seems the better you are at authoring, the worse you are at most everything else.

As for the Ballard article, it as very timely for me as I am considering ordering one and I finally was able to see a decent photo of one.
