Default Is John Taffin still around?

I haven't seen anything by this author in quite some time. Does anyone know whether he is still writing professionally?

He spoke at the Boise annual SWCA meeting in 2012-one of many reasons to consider joining.

Yep , he does an excellent "Last Page" article every issue. One of the main reasons I subscribe to GUNS.

He does at least one article every issue of American Handgunner. AHG is probably one the best, or possibly the best, gun magazine in print today.

I always thoroughly enjoy his articles. His impassioned pleas concerning the .44 Special made me a recent convert!
