Action Guns

Action Guns is a French magazine brand specialising in firearms, shooting sports and security. It was founded in 1978 under the sponsorship of the writer Gérard de Villiers, famous as the author of the SAS spy novels. The publication first appeared as 'Double Action' in December 1978, then became 'Action Digest' in September 1979, 'Action Guns' in October 1981, 'Action Armes & Tir' in February 2004, 'Action Pro Sécurité' in January 2014, and finally 'Action, le magazine des tireurs, des armes et de la sécurité' from March 2018. Its current publisher is the same as that of La Gazette des armes. The magazine is published bimonthly since September 2008; before that it was monthly with a double issue for July–August. A large part of its content is devoted to test benches of new weapons, which have become references and are accompanied by videos available on the website of their author Michel Bottreau. Over the years, Action has established itself as an essential reference for professionals in the arms and sport shooting sector.
