Our LIBRARY. had some of their books.
I probably had the Poor Mans James Bond books for 10 out of 12 months. For YEARS! |

They actually had some respectable titles. I have two hardcovers on WW II German sniper rifles and assault rifles.

The one and only expensive sniping book of theirs I bought had some truly fascinating history items in it...stuff I've never seen elsewhere. Lots of math, some out of date fears and focuses, but by far one of the most technically educational and enlightening long range shooting manuals I've ever seen.

A staple of gun shows and surplus stores, they were kind of the National Enquirer of the gun world. How's he retarded? His comment sounded pretty accurate to me |

I ordered a copy of the Turner diaries from them after the okc bombing just to see what everyone was all up in arms over....it could have been a decent read if it weren't for all the racist bullshit. I figured that got me on a list of some sort at the ripe age of like 14 lol

Sorry to hear that. Before the internet they were a purveyor of much cool info. I remember seeing them set up at the old Soldier of Fortune Conventions in Vegas.
Time marches on. |

How will I ever perfect "Monkey Steals the peach" move without them?

Always read their catalogs when I was a kid, after my older brother got them.
A couple of reasonably recent and useful books, for less than I could get them on Amazon Prime: Long Range Shooting Handbook by Ryan M. Cleckner The Ultimate Sniper by Maj. John L. Plaster |

I'm sorry to hear that. Before the Internet, if you wanted to know how to do illegal shit, they were the go-to. For the NSA: y'all already know this, but the only book I ever ordered from them was about bare-knuckle boxing. In the late 90s. It was pure bullshit. Please don't shoot my dogs. View Quote I liked the Hayduke series. The first was the funniest. Never did the U-rine-Free delivery. |

View Quote Anyway, I corresponded with Senich when I was still in San Francisco and got some book labels autographed by him. I wish he were still around as I've got a question no one seems to know the answer for. I've even written the National Firearms Museum and they couldn't answer it. |

Jeez. No more George Hayduke books. Fuck, that sucks! https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61iOUodprtL.jpg I wish I could remember some of them at this moment. |

I have the Duncan Long Mini 14 book. It was a worthwhile read.

Suppose I had better pick up that copy of Unrepentant Sinner.

Hayduke actually had some great revenge ideas in his books. I wish I could remember some of them at this moment. View Quote ETA: Damn......I forgot some of the fun things you used to be able to do from a pay phone......... |

Ordered some cheap books to say goodbye...
Shit, growing up in bum-fuck West Texas right before the Internet was a thing, Paladin Press got at least $200 bucks (We're talking pre-teen dollars man) out of me back in the late 80s and early 90s. I only got the Loompanics catalog once because I think it was $5.00 at the time. All I really remember from it was a short story about two dudes who worked the execution wing at a women's prison and them going to town on a warm body fresh from the electric chair. Another popular favorite was High Weirdness By Mail from The Church of the SubGenius. I can't remember how many self addressed stamped envelopes I sent out to various crackpots and weirdos. |

That is always what I think whenever I hear paladin.

Thanks OP. Just bought a whole bunch of books I always wanted when I was a kid. Grew up in the Red Dawn, cold war era, what can I say?

As someone young with no nostalgic memories of Paladin Press (never even heard of them before this thread), is any of their stuff actually worth a shit? Reading this thread it sounds like it was mostly a bunch of hokey nonsense...
