Guns is a magazine dedicated to firearms, hunting, competition shooting, reloading, and other shooting-related activities in the United States. First published in 1955, it is one of the oldest periodicals about firearms in continuous publication in the US.

The magazine primarily offers reviews on guns, ammunition, and shooting gear; as well as gunsmithing tips, historical articles, gun collecting, self-defense, and alerts on gun rights. In addition to those departments, each issue contains a few featured articles and personality profiles of people in the firearms industry as well as press releases of new products.[1]

Guns staff writers include Massad Ayoob,[2] Clint Smith, Holt Bodinson, Frank James, Mike Cumpston,[3] Charles E. Petty, and John Taffin.[4]
