American Handgunner Set Sights
On World Internet Traffic

FMG Publications has launched another online operation aimed at dominating world Internet traffic — the digital edition of American Handgunner magazine available at www.americanhandgunner.com.

“Okay — maybe not world domination,” said American Handgunner publisher Roy Huntington, “but making the high quality editorial and photography in American Handgunner available to 1.5 billion* potential readers will at least get the attention of our industry.

“Think what it would cost to send a direct mailing out to 500,000 or even 1,000,000 potential customers. Now, for the cost of an ad in American Handgunner’s print and digital edition, advertisers can reach those same potential customers — times ten or more!”

The online edition of American Handgunner debuted with the May/June issue and uses the latest dynamic flash, flip-page technology to create a real-time, page-turning, online magazine viewing experience.

“Decades ago pundits said someday books and magazines will be archaic. They were wrong,” continued Huntington. “We’ve found books and magazines are more important than ever. People enjoy the tangible presence of the printed page and I doubt that will ever go away. The printed, newsstand edition of Handgunner continues to grow. The new online edition only enhances the reliable presence of the printed edition with a viewer-friendly interface, hot links directly to manufacturers’ Websites and even live-action video.

The new digital edition enhances and expands
the versatility of American Handgunner.

“For travelers, doing research into the market, readers looking for a product they saw in a past issue, or simply a handgun enthusiast who wants to relax and read their favorite magazine during a break at work — now they can! American Handgunner’s stunning new online edition has just helped to make a good thing even better!”
