Daniel Côté, creator of The Double Gun & Single Shot Journal (DGJ), and John Andrew Yerger, creator of the Rose & Scroll Fine Gun Journal, are proud to announce the revival of The Double Gun Journal. Long cherished by fine gun collectors and sporting enthusiasts worldwide, DGJ will relaunch in a bold new digital format on Christmas Day, December 25, 2025.
Hosted on Substack, the revived DGJ blends tradition with modern technology. The Journal is published exclusively in digital form. Legacy DGJ articles return in a new light, fully restored and presented with narrated audio and video, bringing timeless stories into the digital age.
New content will be released throughout each month, ensuring a steady rhythm of articles, features, and multimedia experiences. Among these will be Memoirs from the Gun Room, a personal ongoing series by Daniel Côté, offering reflections, stories, and insights from the journal’s founder.
The revival honors DGJ’s historic roots while inviting both legacy and new authors to contribute original work. Together, this community will continue the traditions of craftsmanship, storytelling, and sporting culture that defined DGJ for decades.
The goal is simple: to reestablish The Double Gun Journal as the leading publication for fine guns, double rifles, and sporting heritage, built together with its members.
