I subscribe to SGN, the once-a-month edition. It wasn't in my edition. The three-times-a-month edition seems to be popular among larger gunshops, but there are none in my area. The news-stand edition (with the full-page color front cover) is not sold in my area at all (B&N here closed down some years ago).

SGN does have some articles online, but they omit the pictures.

SGN is a pale shadow of what it once was. The Internet and online shopping have drastically cut their readerbase. Used to be, if you wanted a specific firearm, you went through SGN page by page. Now, you just Google it. <sigh>

The larger suppliers, like Sarco, Hunters Lodge, IMA, etc used to have great graphics. Line drawing caricatures of soldiers, stuff like that. All gone now.
