The biggest deer I ever killed was with a S/W 586 .357 mag. All my buddies at work started calling me gunslinger, so, when I discovered this sight I tried gunslinger but had to add 586 to claim it.

Dalkowski110	Re: Question about your name	#24	[-]
Posts: 1399 (02/05/05 03:03 PM) Forum Co-host Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	Way before I got into guns, I was (and still am), an avid baseball fan. Steve Dalkowski was a pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles' Minor League system from 1957 until 1965. Dalkowski is a completely unlikely legend, only 5'9" and weighing in at 160 Lbs, along with wearing really thick glasses. But Steve could throw 110 mph+ (hence my 110 suffix). Now, if he could control his pitches, he might have been one of the greatest pitchers ever. But he didn't, instead being plagued with tremendous wildness. For example, during one season, in 170 innings, he struck out 262...and also walked 262. Amazingly, he never hurt his arm by throwing. Instead, during Spring Training, 1963, one Roger Maris (you might know him from something else he did ) managed to hit a Dalkowski fastball with a swinging bunt right back to Dalkowski...where it hit him, smack dab on the shoulder. Now, remember that this pitch was travelling 110+. When it bounced off Maris's bat, it was going at an almost equal velocity. Ouch. Career basically over. Dalkowski, or "Dalko" as his friends called him (my original handle was Dalko110), was unique. Most of the people that named themselves after players on the baseball forums made obvious choices, i.e. Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb (and I remember one fella with a handle including Kevin Mitchell's name...uggh), but I needed my own unique handle. Thus, Dalkowski110. I've never left that name behind me, sometimes calling myself "Dalko110" or "Dalkowski", but always remaining close to the original. "Dalko" also had a baseball card, if you ever want a picture of the fellow. Topps, 1963, #496.

Posts: 1092 (02/05/05 04:03 PM) Veteran member Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	Hi all:I got my name from the fact that the first rifle I ever bought myself was a Mini-30 and from there I started collecting 7.62 x (insert cartridge length of choice).I added Cavalier as it means a gentleman trained in the use of arms (Noun) or marked by offhand dismissal of important matters(adjective) , so that term fits depending on my answers to questions. sometimes I'm very serious about my arms collecting and sometimes I'm likely to provide some pretty flip and offhand comments I'm the one who uses Si vis pacem, para bellum as my signature line. I got it from the recent release of the Punisher (where it is misspoken), and I use it to remind myself to be ever watchful of the evil deeds that are done around me and if I don't wan't to be sucked into them I must prepare to fight. Todd Si vis pacem, para bellum.
SIG P226 40SW	Re: Question about your name	#27	[-]
Posts: 200 (02/05/05 04:25 PM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	My father was a policeman in this city (The city i still live in) for 28 years. He was a fan S&W handguns. I have four handguns that my father carried as duty guns at one time or another. I got the first from him as a Christmas present when I was 18 years old, a Model 66 S&W revolver. About four years later, I purchased a Model 19 S&W revolver from him. I received the last two, a Model 39 and a Model 669, on December 10th 1998, the day my father died. All I ever bought was S&W handguns. I found this site the same day that I picked up my first non S&W purchase, a SIG Model P 226 in .40 SW. My first Non S&W handgun and my new found Milsurp hobby started on the same day. I think my father would approve of both........ I still miss you Dad.... Dave.....in Wisconsin

I take weapons seriously enough that I knew I didn't want a name like Hellfire_spewing_gun_god_from_Pookipsy. I had thought of using Branquelinho, my name from the brazilian forums, but figured that if some of the Uh-meri-kuns had trouble with it and misspelled it there then it would be nearly unintelligable here. I do try to keep the same name between sites, but when discussing Brasil I am O Branquelinho- the little white guy. Which I basically was when I lived there among all those other tanned caboclos and riberinhos.

I believe that as a Christian I will be taken off the earth during that time. I'm ready for that due to my relationship with Jesus. BUT, some scholars believe Christians will be left here on earth and face the End times of the book of Revelations, the Tribulation, like chaos, death, the antichrist, all that. Well, with my gun and ammo supplies, I'm ready for that, too So, Long story short, I'm TribReady.

It asked me for a username and I could not think of any at the time. But I recalled that picture in Shotgun News for the CMP ad where the soldier says "My M1 does my talking". So I thought I might use m1talker and it has been that ever since. Curt

That was also my hacker nickname (and every good hacker needs a nickname - since using our real name would be pretty unwise (not to mention boring). The name came from my intense hatred of Linear Algebra (a class that I was also getting a D in at the time).
