Received a notice in the mail today stating they will not continue publishing the Journal. Those who still have money in their account can choose to purchase products listed on the letter.
An Index & Reader Vol III is planned for Christmas 2023.
"After this we plan to publish more unique books on firearms."

I’ve spoken with the DGJ folks and what Jim wrote is accurate. Spring 2022 was the last issue. frank

Not surprised; print media is in trouble everywhere.

I was surprised and disappointed when I read Dan and Joanna's letter which arrived today. However, I will be looking forward to the Index and Reader scheduled for late 2023, which is supposed to be 500 pages. Stay tuned.

Well, it was a good run.

I'm currently on my 3rd re-reading, in order, of the entire collection.

I am currently reading Summer of 1999's article by Tom Kidd about Becker's #00.2

I can't believe how much more I appreciate the articles as my knowledge has increased over the years.

I have the first 2 indexes, I'll probably have to get the 3rd.

I am sorry to hear they will quit publishing the DGJ. I will especially miss the articles written by our members. John

Volume #1, Issue # 1 was in the winter of 1989. It has been published quarterly ever since, until now apparently.

Anyone waiting with bated breath for the Index & Reader Vol III referenced in this post? I am not.

From the note to Craig: "we will be working on this full time". I received much the same note.

Planned for Christmas 2023 . Has anyone heard anything re: status?
