Colin Greenwood died recently

[Powderfinger]

Guns Review editor, RIP. Very insightful and intelligent man. His abilities and qualifications were admirable. I did not always agree with his opinions but he argued his case thoroughly. Guns Review was the best ever shooting magazine. Current shooting magazine publishers should think about reviving it. I wonder who owns the name Guns Review?

Passed away last November, I think. A good and wise chap.

I used to read his stuff in Guns Review (he wrote both as editor and as "Cadmus") back in the day, when that magazine and Jan Stevenson's Handgunner demonstrated what high-quality shooting magazines could be. Nothing about like them now.

I believe he was at one time a senior police officer and he wrote an excellent book entitled "Firearms Control" -- probably over 40 years ago but much of the reasoning and arguments must still be valid today.

I knew Colin quite well in the 70s and 80s I shot with him on several occasions. He was president of Woodtop rifle and pistol club which I was a member. A true gent. He passed away on 10 November 2017. I went to his funeral on 28 November. RIP

Just saw the post about Colin Greenwood's recent passing. While I'm not familiar with him myself, it's always tough when someone from our community leaves us. Sending my condolences to those who knew him well and are feeling his loss.

Yes any article by him was going to be an interesting read. Hope he reached a good age. I didn't know he was "Cadmus" as well, I'm sure Cadmus wrote for the Shooting Times, back when it was a great shooting magazine with the best gun writers.
