His monthly published gun columns include: Siluetas, Campfire Tales, The Sixgunner, and Taffin Tests. Taffin is widely regarded as an authority on revolvers, magnum cartridge load development, firearms rights and handguns in general.[2][3][4] In 2008 Taffin was instrumental in opening the Elmer Keith Museum in Boise, Idaho. The museum is located inside the local Cabela's retail location.[5] WritingTaffin's influences on his writing style were Elmer Keith and Skeeter Skelton. His first article appeared in the November 1967 edition of GUNsport.[6] He wrote several other articles for the magazine until it ceased publication in 1969. Taffin went on to write for JD Jones's newsletter for Handgun Hunters International called The Sixgunner and Elgin Gates's newsletter for International Handgun Metallic Silhouette Association (IHMSA) titled The Silhouette in 1979.[7] Taffin's first article for Guns magazine appeared in the December 1983 issue and in May 1984 he became a staff writer for the publication.
