Yeah I have some snap caps in .357 but they just won't fit :). I'm going to order some caps, along with a pocket holster, and some speed strips, maybe even a speedloader or two. But because of the overall size of the gun, speedloaders don't look like they will work too fast. The grips on the gun are okay, but no room for my pinkie. So I may look from some different ones. I would still like to maybe get a SP101 in the future. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 20:23, 11 October 2010 (UTC) | Yeah I have some snap caps in .357 but they just won't fit :).

Here I am in all my glory
Stevens 520/620
I didn't think to ask you about it too, even though we had that discussion on the Model 12 page. I asked Nyles because he had uploaded that 520 pic. So I guess we'll do it like the Winchester Model 1200/1300 page and call it Stevens Model 520/620. Then do the redirects for the individual models. We need to find a better 620 pic. The 520 pic is good. If you don't beat me to it, I build the page this evening. Thanks for your help.--Predator20 13:22, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
Review position
I tried to submit an example review for the notice on the main page but I was unable to find how to submit my work after I typed into the email box as their was no "Send" icon. As an Administrator I was hoping you could help me with this issue. -Anonymous

Gee thanks! putting the incomplete template on the page right when I'm working on it! LOL! Itchy trigger finger there? ;) MoviePropMaster2008 20:07, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
Yea
Got that the first time you told me. -Winn
zombie cross genre?
I don't like how my search for Zombie movies ends up with a list of all Zombie related Video Games or Anime. Any category search would not Cross genres like that. I think we should separate them since the search result was jarring in that a lot of unrelated titles showed up. MoviePropMaster2008 04:59, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
==zombie sub category-- Say you want to look for films by Romero and related (like Zombieland) and you end up with 'left for dead' or 'Zombie Panic Source' etc. etc. which are Videogames. I think there should be a zombie movie category in the movie section and a zombie genre game in the VG section. Or something akin to that. But I have long been an advocate of separating the NON film/tv categories from the rest for a long time. As an armorer, I see no value in trying to figure out what an artist was thinking when they DREW a piece of art. Only in movies and television, was a REAL firearm or mockup used, not something out of some techno-geek's imagination. Also the fact that MOST of the kids are capping Videogames or Anime veers us more away from the 'movie' element :( MoviePropMaster2008 15:46, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

Total Recall
I'm not really sure what to think of it. From the way I read it, Goncz is mad because he doesn't want is name associated with Claridge and feels he's being misrepresented. On the Claridge Hi-Tec/Goncz GA page it explains some of the history. I don't think we're in the wrong.--Predator20 18:37, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
Note my comment to the NUTCASE 'inventor' on the Total Recall Page
If he were real he would NOT be talking to a lawyer. Despite being a gun inventor, he sounds like a kid when he writes. In order to be liable, one must inflict some sort of 'damage' whether to reputation, marketing, sales, review, etc. This guy is 2 bottles short of a sixpack based on his comments. I have no problem telling him where to shove it. (his rant was moved to discussion page and my response as well) MoviePropMaster2008 22:11, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
Reilly: Ace of Spies
I finally finished up the Reilly: Ace of Spies page with some additional weapons I had noticed, including a Browning Hi-Power and additional instances with Lugers and 1911s. However, I was wondering if you could help to identify the two pistols I had under the "unidentified pistols" section. Also, I noticed you had left spots for a Mannlicher Model 1903 and a Webley & Scott automatic. Do you remember when in the series these were used? I could find them if you'd like, if you know where to look. Thanks. - Speakeasy804 22:27, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
- It's very possible I missed them too! I'd have loved to have seen an old Webley auto in action (or even on-screen in anything). I finally finished the mini-series today, I liked to watch it in blocks rather than just one at a time and unfortunately I had been much too busy before that. Fascinating stories, especially in relation to history. You starting the article was one of the reasons I picked it up (as well as my love for espionage-related things) so thanks for the recommendation! I'll keep my eyes peeled for more on future viewings. - Speakeasy804 06:22, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
Axeman and Lost Images
On the Lost page, the user Axeman keeps reverting the screencaps back to originals he put up. Axeman's images weren't cropped and were too dark. I put up a comparison of his images next to mine on the Lost Discussion page. I think mine would be preferable, but I want to get some other opinions. --Ben41 22:40, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
Colt Category????????
Sorry fellow Mod, but why did you create a Colt category? This issue was discussed before on IMFDB (it may have been before you joined), but we thought it made little sense since ALL of the Colt Firearms were bunched together already by virtue of their titles. As you can see, categorizing a gun as COLT does little in that the grouping is no different than just looking at the gun listing by alphabetical order. The purpose of the Categories is to gather completely disparate elements which would be hard to find and group them together. Also I've been putting the kebosh on tons of extraneous Categories that other members have been trying to institute (categories like Slasher, Giallo, Cyberpunk, Main Battle Rifle, SBR, assassination, covert, used by Green Berets, etc. etc. etc.) I think we had better start putting new categories to votes, so that I have some backup when I try to stop those noobs from putting in every conceivable sub-category they can think of.

- Thanks, I was really worried that I had hurt your feelings :) But then you're not one of those folks who flies off the handle. in fact you're WAY more tolerant (and less sarcastic) than I am! LOL. Hope you see my reasoning for, at least, trying to limit newer members from creating a torrent of new subcategories :) Thanks and best regards MPM2008

People who hate you? Can't see that. Can't even imagine that. I think everyone on IMFDB thinks of you as one big TEDDYBEAR. Now ME on the other hand is a ranting lunatic sometimes, usually when I'm yelling at some stupid 'extra' who is dry firing or worse, disassembling a firearm without my knowledge or permission. hahahaha. MoviePropMaster2008 03:00, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
- - I think MPM said it - I don't know you that well, but I can tell from the way you type around here that you're a pretty cool guy - Hell you're probably the damn Ned Flanders of this site. But, being a cop, I can understand where some of the animosity comes from, I sometimes don't think highly of law enforcement personally but I always give respect to those who deserve it. And that certainly includes you, as again, you seem like a pretty alright guy. Hell, anyone that likes Smith revolvers can't be all bad to me. Anyway, real life is one thing, but I doubt people hate you here on the site, unless they're jerks. Now MPM I could understand.. Bah! :b StanTheMan 16:41, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
- I'm watching you Stan the man!!!!!! MoviePropMaster2008
- - My dad would like you, he swears by Smiths. He religiously owned and shot a 4-inch Model 29 for quite a while. He advised me to go for the 6 1/2 when I buy one myself, saying my hands would thank me for it if I ever shot it real seriously. As for your story, that sounded like quite a fun ordeal - Yow. Yeah, I know cops have to be hardass at times, goes with the territory. But I dislike lawmen that feel they're entitled to be dicks because of the badge and would lean more to giving folks a hard time rather than serving and protecting. Sounds like you've met some of them, and hey, the fact that you know the difference confirms to me that you're pretty alright. Anyway, that's cool, and quite a story. You know, I myself have noticed it's really the scrawny ones you should watch out for, heh. And that's a good point, I know even cops can be scared - even with the training and the weapons you're still human, same as the rest of us. But again, glad to know you get what I was aiming at. I appreciate the insight. Quite enlightening. StanTheMan 17:26, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
Boxcar Bertha
This is labeled as an Ithaca 37 on the Boxcar Bertha page, but the forend doesn't go all the way to mag tube cap or were older Ithaca's like that? It looks to be bottom ejecting like the Ithaca, unless it's a left handed pump. What do you think it is?--Predator20 22:57, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
- You the man, since you figured it out, you change the Boxcar Bertha page.--Predator20 12:31, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
- Well the one guy beat you to it on building the page. --Predator20 20:17, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
CC revolver choices
I just got my concealed carry license (came in today, only waited two weeks) :). I was thinking about purchasing a S&W Model 638, which is the stainless steel, alloy frame bodyguard 38spec +p. But your comments on the Model 36 take page got me thinking. Would it be better to suffer the added weight of a Ruger SP101 or Colt DS or even a steel frame S&W? While the airweight might be easier to carry. But shooting on the other hand, which is what really counts I feel, will be a lot harder to do. I was maybe going to try to pocket carry (with a pocket holster) or go IWB. Going OWB on a snub would probably work but I'm worried about printing. Also what about exposed hammers vs bobbed hammers or shrouded hammers. Is snagging really a big issue or is something that can be overcome with enough practice?--Predator20 20:17, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks, I knew you would be a big help. I'm going to look into the steel frame S&W's more, I may just go with the SP101 with the bobbed hammer. I didn't really think of Taurus. My dad has a PT1911, its been a good gun. But like you say Taurus is hit or miss most of the time. I get what you mean about Colt. --Predator20 00:28, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
- Oh yeah I forgot about Charter Arms too. I'll probably just stick to getting a S&W or Ruger. Our local gun shop has a SP101, but it has a 3" barrel. They also have some Model 442's I think. I don't think they have any steel frame S&W snubs. I've been thinking about a picking a LCP, but with a .380 I feel like that's a back-up gun, not a primary gun. But anything is better than nothing. No problem putting the message on my user page. Also what are your thoughts on a Model 19 or 66 snub carrying IWB, too much width with the cylinder? Or is it better to stick to a J-frame starting out? I really appreciate your help. --Predator20 17:29, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
- Ended up buying a Model 642 they had at the gun shop. It's black with stainless barrel and cylinder, which I don't really care for. Would rather have had all black. I really don't plan on doing a lot of shooting with it. At least now I have more than one revolver. The price they had listed was comparable to Bud's Gun Shop. Also came with a $50 rebate. Anyway thanks for all your help. --Predator20 15:31, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
