Archaic

I hate the conceit of the third person that still clings to gun writing.

Mike "Duke" Venturino is the one who bugs me the most...

Look, "Duke", you wrote the article, you and your wife took the pictures; I can tell from the by-line and credits.  Writing it as if you were visiting yourself is archaic enough but the awed by "Duke's" collection of guns in your tone is just aggravating and makes reading about an otherwise interesting old gun a teeth gritting exercise in gutting through your writing style to get the content.

And, yes, I've complained about him before.  A note to Guns magazine, as long as he's employed by you; not one more dime from me.  He's that bad.
