I may get flamed for this from some, but if you're goiing to "pick just one,' Guns & Ammo is still an enjoyable romp through the pages if you want a "general" mag with a broad range of guns and related topics discussed--from HD/SD/carry to hunting and target. Decent online magazine as well. Like car magazines, who knows how much objectivity on what subjects, but if you go into these things with "eyes open" to that factor, it and any number of others like it are enjoyable.
