Recoil is a magazine covering handguns, tactical rifles, tactical knives and other shooting-related activities in the United States. It caters to the firearms lifestyle. [1] [2]
The magazine primarily offers reviews on firearms, ammunition, knives, and shooting gear; as well as gunsmithing tips, historical articles, gun collecting, self-defense and automobiles. Each issue contains a few featured articles and personality profiles of people in the firearms industry as well as press releases of new products. Each issue includes a fold-out target. [1] [3]
