Rest in peace, Mr. Taffin.

I largely got started with the generation of gun writers preceding John Taffin. (Elmer KEith, Skeeter Skelton, Tom Ferguson, Bill Jordan, Charles Askins, and such.) John Taffin already had a handloading and load-testing column, ‘way back then, if I recall correctly, but I was not into that aspect of the shooting sports, so, I rarely read that part. As he started writing more feature articles, many with quite good photos, however, I started paying more attention, and developed much respect for JT.

As internet forums became a thing, I read his posts, TYPED IN ALL-CAPS, AT SUCH PLACES AS THE SINLGE ACTIONS FORUM. As his health declined, I truly missed his contributions.

A life well-lived. Thank you, sir.


Have Colts, will travel
