[WhoIsJohnGalt?]

In a separate forum discussion some time back, I’d posted these two grainy B&W images of Vietnam Special Forces vet / firearms trainer / gun writer Chuck Taylor.

As I donned a Woolly-Pully sweater over my 1911 today, I had a sense that I was channeling my “inner Chuck Taylor” somehow ha-ha...

I definitely do NOT rock either the sweater or the pistol like Mr. Taylor did back in the day (and probably still does); I will say that the sweater serves as a darn good covering garment that also keeps one toasty on a brisk day!

Ha! I still have a couple of those stashed away in a duffle bag somewhere....

I'm sure I could pull one out of somewhere as well. Just not something that I would want to wear anymore. One good thing about them is we found it was very easy to generate enough static electricity from them to ignite an electric blasting cap!

Yep I still have a couple of those that I wear on cold days!

I got to meet him once and was privileged to view his armory. Haven't heard anything about him in decades. Hope he is doing ok.

I noticed I’d not seen his byline in a while; by the same token, I haven’t been a regular gun-mag reader for some time, either. Last I searched online, it looked like he and his American Small Arms Academy were alive and well.

Thinking back, I met him in Prescott thru one of his instuctors, whom I used to know. He came to my area once and held a Battle Rifle course that I attended. Good times.
