Who remembers him??
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
Let's keep Colin's memory alive and make sure he's never forgotten. Stay strong, my friends!
