The Audit Bureau of Circulation has just let out the circulation report for the first six months of 2004. Guns and Ammo picked up a couple of thousand issues of paid monthly circulation, Shooting Times increased by about 4,000 and Handguns lost 8,000. Shotgun news reports 111,000.

NRA Publications total 2,921,588 reflecting membership that's holding its own pretty well considering membership tends to slide when the democrats arn't introducing new gun bills every week.

Guns Magazine and American Handgunner didn't submit a report and no figures are available.
