Guns of the Old West Magazine
« on: April 15, 2011, 09:17:10 PM »
I finally got a subscription to GOTOW in January. When I didn't receive my Spring '11 issue, I went on to their Facebook page and the next day I called customer service. Customer service answered on the first ring and, to make a long story short, three days later I received my issue. They responded to the Facebook post less than twenty-four hours later. Kudos to the publisher and customer service.

I love the magazine.  Have repeatidly heard of troubles with their subscription service. So I never have. Buy it on the magazine rack if it is there. Which it sometimes is not.  :-\

I have only missed two copies in the past few years. They were johnny on the spot and I had replacements in 5 days. Cannot ask for better service.  ;D

I reuped my subscription in Feb....I had one for two years didn't realize it had run out.

They contacted me via Email this morning to say "my check arrived after the Spring issue was sent..
they are ajusting my subscription and I'll have the Spring issue by Friday..."

GOTOW and the Shootist are the only Magizines I get.

Doesn't matter if I'm interested in the article or not, I still read it cover to cover.

I like the magazine.  I've been a subscriber for years.  I don't care for the articles about the B-western actors so I rarely read them.  Some have said they review the same guns sometimes, but the reviews are usually done by different writers, so I can live with that.  They review a lot of guns in each issue, and that I like.   8)

I actually like the B westerns and the articles about the actors. my grandmother was a dancer and knew quite a few of the actors from 30s 40s and 50s. at BBQs around them I meet a few also. most were fun guys that knew how to tell storys! DR

Johnny,

Here is where I can partially return the favor ... subscriptions are on sale for around half off ...

https://www.valuemags.com/express/valuemags.asp?MagID=1733&SubID=3056&utm_source=bingcpc&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=Guns%20of%20the%20Old%20West&utm_content=73228504&utm_campaign=1915531944

Wadd, . . thanks.  I've always heard bad stuff about the subscription service.  But I'll give it a try.  Always have loved the magazine.  :)

After finding it VERY rarely on the racks, I got my subscription last year.
I only have one hope/comment...I wish they would publish it more often...seeing this post made me realize my subscription has probably run out!
My wife loves it as well! (she carries a Griswold & Gunnison!)

This is my all time favorite magazine. I do love the old movies, so I  like the articles on the actors too. I just wish they would publish more often. I could read this stuff every month!

Rick,

Magazines are usually in short supply of real material done in a factual good manner .... I am guessing that, if you do the legwork it will probably get published ... which would also make you a published author ...

Wadd

Write your article and sent it to the "Shootist" ( NCOWS ) VIA Dave Scott.

I've had a number published.

Major 2,

Unfortunately, I have never had the pleasure of meeting or knowing the man .... that experience is all Gun Click Ricks ...
