I got word a bit ago that John Linebaugh passed away today. He was working in his shop at one of his machines and just fell over. There was someone with him at the time.
I don't have any other details but will post as I receive more information.

Damn, I really hate to hear this! We were planning to go to John’s get together. I’ve visited with him a couple of time on the phone and really liked him!

He did a LOT for the revolver community.

He squeezed the full potential out of the old Colt 45, then went on to developing packable hand cannons.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Very sad news. He was definitely an icon of larger bore handguns. I have much appreciation for the work he did with the 45 Colt, and developing the 475 Linebaugh which is personal top end favorite above .452.

I'm very happy for him. Dying while doing what he enjoys is an awesome way to go. He was a pleasure to talk with and tho I was young and undereducated on sixguns he never talked down to me nor did he seem bothered.
RIP John!

I only know him as the name behind wildcat cartridges that eventually became standard. RIP, though.

If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.
