Harris Publications Will Shutter After 40 Years

In a letter sent yesterday, Harris Publications' owner Stanley Harris announced that, after 40 years, the company was closing.

"As you know, the magazine publishing industry has been through turmoil in the face of the rapid ascendance of digital media, changing consumer content preferences, magazine wholesaler struggles and consolidation in the supply chain," Harris' letter to the company's "valued partners" states, "We've tried mightily to persevere against these forces, but have not been able to overcome these challenges."

Harris titles include Combat Handguns, Tactical Weapons, Guns of the Old West, Modern Pioneer, and others. No definitive time was given for the cessation.
