Jim,
Alt 0176. There's a whole list of things like that you can do, if you know the codes. The funny part is, I can't remember where to find the list? Maybe someone will come along and tell us.
Larry,
That's great that you have a local club! I live 25 miles from Hutchinson, 40,000 people. Most of the shooters around here are hunters. I have lots of old time friends, but they don't appreciate Smith and Wesson and think I'm crazy for spending the money on them that I do! "Man, you could have bought a good Ruger or Tarus for half what you paid for that Smith!"

° Bingo, I got it but had to go to character map. It was a long arduous journey! Alt 0176 was chinese to my keyboard...

Thank you,

You lost me? I thought I had a standard keyboard.

Most of my friends aren't into S&W's either. I advertised here on the forum and handed out flyers for my first meeting and had 10 people. For the second one (6 mos later) I called all the S&W collectors in Ohio, flyers and the forum and had 35 people. Takes some work, now we use group e-mails and some calls. Its really fun and wish we could have as many as the Tulsa group does. Keith Brown travels 3 hrs to attend and I hope to have Andy Horvath at the next one. I'll let anyone how to start one with a phone call. We use a local gun club I belong to and pay no rent if its a club function. Larry

I probably do to but, when I held the alt key and typed 0176 nothing appeared on the screen.

Reddog · Dec 31, 2011

°°° Works for me! You didn't use "Shift", did you?

Hondo44 · Jan 1, 2012

No. Held the Alt key and typed 0176. Here's what I got: 176

You must have a Chinese computer. Rub some rice on it!

Hondo44 · Jan 1, 2012

I've submersed it in American apple pie!

Reddog · Jan 1, 2012

That'll fix it!

Jim, thanks for the sight adjustment lesson as I have 2 pre war guns. Dick, the grips will go out tomorrow. My wife spent most of the day in emergency today and I couldn't make it to the post office. She's OK, she had severe pain and they couldn't figure it out. The youngest son was with her today and he's an emergency room Doctor. She was in good hands. Larry

Larry,
How's your wife by now? OK, I hope!
I received the stocks, today. They're great! I put them on one of my 28s. A no dash that is sort of my regular shooter. Thanks again, I really like them! I have them on four different guns, now!
Dick

Jebus35745 · Jan 3, 2012

Dick, glad you like the grips. They look good on the 28, they should be happy at their new home. Wifes doing better, seemed the pain was less every day. I like the K Herrets for double action. Larry

Reddog · Jan 5, 2012

I bought a pair for my K-38 back in the mid 60s. Don't know what gun they're on now without digging through all of them. I gave the princly sum of $11.00 new, back then! Steve Herrett was alive then.
Have got to shoot several times in the last few days! We had 75°, today! In January!
Dick

Jebus35745 · Jan 5, 2012

75 would be nice, glad it was nice shooting weather. It'll be abt 40 on Sat, I'll be shooting in the cold. We'll be out there around 9am and the temp will only be abt 32. Better then a warm day at work, Larry

Reddog · Jan 5, 2012

Brrrrrr! Hope the wind doesn't blow!

Jebus35745 · Jan 7, 2012

I'm bummed, went all the way out there and its deer season with muzzle loader. The ranges are closed for safety. Larry

Reddog · Jan 7, 2012

That's too bad! How far do you have to go?

Jebus35745 · Jan 7, 2012

It was a 70 minute drive one way. Took a friend and his son to see the property before he joins the club. Figured if we drove that far, we should take something to shoot. When I saw some of the members walking with muzzle loaders I realized it was the late deer season. OOPS. Oh well, he wants to join. It was abt 44 degrees, not bad. Larry

Reddog · Jan 7, 2012

Before we moved to the farm, about 32 years ago, I had to drive to a gun club about 5 miles north of town. The first chance we got, we laid out a 100 yard range in the shelterbelt right behind where we were building our new house! I also designed a special room in the basement for reloading and a gun safe. It's seen a ton of use with my four sons and three grandsons! Plus many friends!
You can see the pile of logs I use for a backstop at 25 yards in the pic.

Dick,

That's just a beautiful thing!

I know lots'a forum members have their own ranges. I live in a suburban neighborhood. We have to go under ground from our basement loading rooms, usually in 25 yards of 3 ft concrete culvert with the target on a pulley.
