Safariland 002 works with most any dot sight, as well as most any revolver.

Maxfire and HKS both make & 7 shot speedloaders. Dillon has the maxfire and the HKS ones you can get about anywhere. I haven't tried Maxfire but i have a handful of the HKS ones around somewhere.

I just bought a new computer and I was wondering if there was a good way to transfer files from my old pc to my new one. The old one doesn't have a cd/rw or anything that easy and there are quite a few mp3 files and the like that I would like to keep. The old is an EMachine with Windows 98 if that matters and the new is a Dell with XP. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Was my fav of the three. Had the same Wizard of Oz thought. The cavalry charge was right up there with The Lighthorseman charge scene (also liked the cavalry coming down the hill at the end of LOTR II). Was worth the wait but wanted to see the battle of the shire from the book. Good flik.

I thought it was you could only shoot a max of 6 shots between reloads, but could reload what ever the cylinder held. Am I missing it?

Chad,
There is a .38 super 6 shot 686 set up with moon clips available now. I'm sure that is the one to which downzero is referring. I haven't shot or tried to reload the .38 super 686 but comparing my 625 to my moon clipped 6 and 7 shoot 686's is no contest. The .45's always land in the right spot. But from a shooting stand point I love the L frame. If I could only have one, I'd take an L.

Yeah, I meant to write (flame) this POS the day I saw it. Really liked the book but the movie was a real stinker. Loved the part about the gun maker advertising his product as "finger print resistant" so criminals would be more likely to buy it. And that was one b*tt-ugly pistol. They did everything to villify the gun guys except give 'em pitch forks and barbed tails, while the grabbers always held the moral high ground. At least I only paid the twilight fee for it instead of full price.

I know the feeling, last Christmas my wife and I gave my 12 year old son a S&W 686+. When he open the box I was expecting a big reaction, but he just sat and stared at it for about 5 minutes. Then he looked up and asked "did I open the wrong box?" When he was sure it was really his, he left the rest of his presents un-opened and went to his room. Came back in a few minutes fully dressed and carrying his eyes and ears. Best money I ever spent and I shot more film then bullets when he took it to his first steel match. Now, what to get him for USPSA?? I love kids.

I'm not sure which is funnier, the joke or the idea of a Longhorn calling someone else a tea-sipper.

No that one was more like "it's all a question of quantum physics, molecular attraction, and timing." She was too long winded for a quote so short.

Here's my shot:
1. Kevin Spacey American Beauty
2. John Belushi and Blair Brown Continental Divide
3. Ryan Phillippe Way of the Gun
4. Bela Lugosi Mark of the Vampire
5. Burt Reynolds The Longest Yard
6. Johhny Depp and Frank Langella Ninth Gate
7. Robert Carlyle Full Monty
8. Cathy Lee Crosby and Michael Biehn Coach
9. Todd Graff and Ed Harris The Abyss
10. Wes Bentley American Beauty
Hope that's close

The "roll" was the only thing in the movie I didn't like. Some nice guns though and handled pretty well. Wasn't Colin carrying a Kimber 1911?

GeorgeD,
So, your the other guy who watched "The Lighthorseman"? I love that movie, saw it on Bravo years ago and finally found it on video, never get tired of watching that charge across the desert. Excellent choice.

Hi, first let me say that I am a revolver guy and that I don't think anyone needs a reason to buy a new gun, I just have a question (that was intended as a "flame-proof" disclaimer). Is a 686 in .38super a good IDPA (which I've never shot) set-up or is there another need driving the develpoment? Pardon my ignorance if this comes out as a stupid question but I've been curious about a possible use since I saw that S&W was producing one.
Thanks, Chris

Well, since the picture seems to have worked, I'll try this link to the ordering info in case anyone is interested, and sorry H4444, I must have missed your post when I put in my $.02, didn't mean to repeat what you had written.

Not sure if I'm doing this right so if it's blank, sorry, but this MIGHT be a picture of the star.

Hey Duck,
A Texas Star is a hub with five arms, each arm holds a steel plate which can be knocked off when shot. When a plate comes off the star becomes unbalanced and rotates on the hub. You can get one for $400.00 which includes extra parts form Terry Ashton tel #915-655-2809. There is a video and a couple of pictures under the competition section of KRTraining.com, just scroll down about half way. There is also a doc file with ordering information for the star. I've shot one several times in steel matches and it's a fun target. Hope this helps.

Thanks Vince, guess that's clear enough.

I guess my "lustfull"ness has doomed me to level II, but I promise I've learned my lesson. Now where is that chick from Troy?

OUCH!!!! Hope you'll still be up to clanging some steel this weekend. Is the bandage just peeled back or is that covering a second booboo? Have you made up a good story for how you got the scar yet? See ya.

I mentioned it to a couple of fellow wheelgunners and they sound interested in the USPSA part but none of us are IDPA members and aren't looking to join. I know membership is required for regionals and such, would that be the case here. And if IDPA membership is required, could we just shoot the USPSA side of the match? Keep me informed if it comes together and when possible dates might be.
Thanks, Chris
