My friend John Taffin passed a couple of days ago, after a period of ill health. He was 86.
John was one of the longest-standing gun writers in the business. He was particularly fond of older-style revolvers and lever action rifles. His work appeared regularly in GUNS and American Handgunner magazine. A devout Christian, he lived his beliefs – a genuinely kind and generous man in person, and very much a family man.
A heck of a good shot, too. Not to mention his encyclopedic knowledge of firearms history.
It’s not too late to read his several excellent books, which should be available on Amazon. John was the quintessential “good guy with a gun,” and my deepest condolences go to his large family, his many friends, and his countless readers.
May he rest in peace.
