Description Figured it was about time to upload a new ID Maybe some day I will upload a picture of myself but not liking the way I look does not make that a whole lot of fun Maybe one day if I can get my acne under better control or something, but for now its just gonna be my Smith and Wesson Model 581! This was perfect, a touch of green, my favorite side arm, and it even started snowing a little bit when I shot this it started snowing right as I was setting this up I was up at my cabin hunting and on the last day went out to shoot this Hopefully when i go up next there will be more snow. Even if I do not shoot a new ID, I would love to do some winter nature shooting.. shit I just want snow at home too who am I kidding XD

I shot this with my new Nikon D7000 with my dad's old manual 85mm f1.8 mounted on it If I remember correctly I had it down at f4 when I took this shot I plan to upload more using that lens soon Its a beast!

Thanks! It really is I only wish it had adjustable sights. I need to find a gun smith who would add them, plus have another pistol I could carry in the meantime!

I do, just not as much actually!With revolvers, the grip angle is different, plus the bore axis is lower, so the recoil feels smoother. Even if there is more of it, like when I shoot .357 magnum!

We do hehe. She is a good friend of mine Ohh yes! I remember that I am not on facebook much so I will take your word for it but that is so cool! I almost forgot about it I wont lie lol.
Thanks though I might go look back at it

The M581 is a nice gun.It's a fixed sight version of The M586.Too bad they no longer make this one.Tell me.How well does she do on the range??

Loffy0 In reply to guardmn [2018-01-30 08:47:56 +0000 UTC]

Well first off its a he Just kidding around, but yes it is a great weapon! I wish I had found a good deal on a model 19 or a 586 though that way I could change the sights out. Its great at the range but I think I am going to get at least the front sight cut to accept a fiberoptic or night sight because I have a hell of a time picking them up some times. Not sure if I want the rear sights cut to accept adjustable sights yet or not because I would hate to remove material from that top strap but we will see. I love this thing overall though. .38s are amazing fun and comfortable as hell, though I am thinking about getting some different grips, something that fills the hand better as after shooting 50-100 .357 mag, it can get a little uncomfortable

guardmn In reply to Loffy0 [2018-01-30 08:54:12 +0000 UTC]

NO no no no.Don't change the sights.M581s in that condition are somewhat rare.As the gun hasn't been produced for more than 20 years.You might do more harm than good.And it might devaule the gun.Leave it As-Is.Now as to grips.If comfort is what your looking for.Than I would go with something from "EAGLE GRIPS"Check their websight.Or if you can find them a set of "PHACMAYER:hard rubber grips might do the trick.

Loffy0 In reply to guardmn [2018-03-04 05:05:30 +0000 UTC]

The picture is deceiving lol. Its not in as good a shape as it looks, at least as far as the finish goes, everything else on it is fine. However I care not about devaluing it as far as resale value because I never plan to sell it. It actually has not been produced in over 30 years! Lol. This one is 34-35 years old.
I want at least partially wood grips so the Pacmayers have never been an option and the Eagle Grips seem to be far more expansive than I would like, namely for a carry gun like this one is. There was a manufacturer I was looking at a while ago but I can't remember the name. I got it saved somewhere though.

Awesome shot! Great story behind it too, with the snow... First thought that came to my mind upon seeing this overall photo was I bet he has it titled "Between life and Death" A killing instrument set between dead leaves and live moss...what a message! Even if you didn't mean to.

Loffy0 In reply to LindArtz [2017-11-29 22:58:48 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I was like.. "green background, with fresh snow?? It can't get any more me!"
Hmmm a very interesting way to interpret it. Very cool! Thanks! I was just representing one of my favorite belongings in a fall/winter environment since I am so passionate about shooting ...both kinds lol. I prefer not to think of them quite like killing instruments though. Not that its wrong you did. I prefer to think of them as a tool, and sporting gear. An extension of my body if you will Sure its something that can be quite dangerous, but with the right respect and handling it can be so much more! Do not get me wrong though, I love hearing your interpretation of it too. Its important to always hear others' points of view especially deep ones like yours Thanks so much! Hope I do not sound preachy or patronizing

LindArtz In reply to Loffy0 [2017-11-30 23:38:47 +0000 UTC]

Well, I don't think of them as "killing instruments" either, per se... just meant to point out the connection as it may have pertained to the title which came to mind:  "Between. life. and death".   i.e. the life: moss, death: leaves; and what is lying 'between' them - the gun; which can certainly bring about a death too.  Just really cool symbolism going on there.  And I did think you deliberately arranged it to look that way.

Loffy0 In reply to LindArtz [2017-11-30 23:51:26 +0000 UTC]

Fair enough. I know your not likely to think of them solely as killing implements, so sorry I was not real clear on that.. I guess I said all that just because like, since its my ID that is not the kind of story I was trying to tell. However like I said in the comment, that is a really cool and deep meaning to give it I know you thought I did it deliberately which is kind of cool in and of itself, kinda like it was a hidden message even I didn't even know was there. Sorry my response came off the wrong way. Especially with your further elaboration, I like your interpretation of it too Again, sorry I feel like I sounded like I was patronizing you

Welllllllll, it can only be patronizing and crappy if that's how you meant it.    

As for being patronized TO. I can see the difference (better, I can "feel" the difference).  And likewise, I control the power of being a recipient of that patronization. Or not being. It's all a matter of perception; and really, a level of emotional maturity ,... which, frankly, I've reaches ions ago. !!

But I do appreciate your thoughtfulness !!  That is forever you, Loffy0 man.

Very true but it can still come off the wrong way I agree however that intent is what matters most

That is a healthy way to look at things. However I must admit it still offends me when someone intentionally patronizes me, and in the past when I do just let things like that go, it just gets worse and people in that circle start to think I am dumb
Damn I was hoping "emotional maturity" was a link if you get my meaning
Ions ago? What do atoms with a non zero charge have to do with this?
Ok, all joking aside that really is a healthy way to look at things Just know I would never intentionally be patronizing I am sure you already knew however. Glad you think like that

Aww thank you That was actually quite touching you would say that

Yes I suppose it can. Better to not let that happen if possible, that's all.  ...I think you choose your words rather carefully, though.

Well if they are "intentionally" doing it then you are justified in feeling that way and you do what you must to put them in their place.  In my experience though, these kinds of bullies never go after those who they really think are dumb. They go after the ones who they envy their intellect.  They just want you to Think they think you're dumb; a way of trying to rob you of what is yours.

Oh yes "ions" - damned typos!!   Or.  It was the Universe telling me to: "have zero of a charge in my energy output in my reactions to immature people".  Yeah. I like that idea. I'll go with that! !! !

Yes. I do believe you to be 'real'. And what I see is what I get, when it comes to you, Loffy0 man. !!

Hmm interesting way to look at it. You make a great point! Its hard for me to figure out a way to put them in their place that wont make me look like the bad guy because people are normally too stupid to see what those kinds of people are doing.

I think most people see what's going on. They just don't want to get involved; or more to the point, they don't want to become their next target.  I'd put them in their place.  A good way to do it is with good old point blank honesty; ask a lot of questions; make them answer. Let them shit or get off the pot.  And if they can't be blunt about their intentions (for all to see) then tell them to just keep talking their shit and keep their shit breath to them self.

I had a guy, when I was relatively new here, come on My artwork, making uncalled for nasty remarks.  Long story short, we got into a big fight.  I left him dumb founded (yeah, you really would have had to see my very 'UN'Characteristic language that day... Anyway,..he end up telling me (after HE started it all, mind you) :  "You. are really one crude bitch. You know that"?   I said: "Thank You".

But...Only when you're in the mood for cheap entertainment, Loff0, man.  Don't let them drag you down otherwise. !! !!

Online you are talking about still, right?  If so, others are aware of these kinds of tards as well. We all end up dealing with them at some point or other.  I doubt anyone would think differently of you based on your reaction to someone who's behaving like an ass with you first.
The best advice IS to ignore them. Walk away if you can.   But sometimes they don't make it easy, and you have to fight back. This is more what I'm referring to.
I'm glad you already have the "fuck people who don't like it when you come back at them if they are giving you shit", attitude.  I didn't always in my younger days. I was an idealist for the longest time. (BIG. Mistake )  Wish I could go back and handle some people differently. I'd have a freaking field day! And enjoy every moment!

Yeah. Gotta drive it home! (underline) Plus, show off my computer skills. ^^

I love to goof around.   I love it even more when people are real, say what's on their mind without worry they will push the other person away.  I respect that. !!

People consistently think of me poorly though, in a lot of circles I have been in and I am not sure why exactly It must be how awkward and stuff I am people just think I am out of touch and dumb.
Yeah I do what I can. I actually had a run in with someone who used to be friendly at work today. I am tired of that place. I was too tired to confront them later however it didnt work out in their favor over all
Yeah. Despite all this people who wrong me can fuck themselves. However it still makes me feel kinda worthless
Haha that would be fun to watch

LindArtz In reply to Loffy0 [2017-12-12 15:41:42 +0000 UTC]

Okay, got it.

Yes, sometimes people Are stupid like that. They see a shy, or socially awkward person, and assign an intellect to them; rather than simply observe, or 'gawd forbid', get to know them!  And the thing is, the "shy", and "socially awkward", have always, proven to be the smartest of them all in reality.  And that's why I said before, they do know you are Not dumb, but just want You to Think they think you are.  It's them who have the low self esteem (they may just hide it Really Well) and it's why they constantly pull shit; makes them feel smarter, or superior. (how pathetic is that? )

Wow, yeah, not funny. Be careful driving.   We got dumped with 5", but most of it is melted. But supposed to get more tomorrow.  I hope the weather man lives up to his reputation as usual of being Wrong. But likely I will be disappointed! (The Farmer's Almanac predicts lots of snow and colder temperatures this winter. And it's never been wrong yet)

As long as you hate that about yourself, you will change it. In fact, life will Make you change. It has a way of throwing a person constantly into situations where they must confront something about themselves or suffer.
I think you will come to realize, as you mellow out (with the years) that it's more important to simply be your Self.  And if people don't like you then really, it's Your Gain. You won't have had to go years thinking a person was a friend. But will be free instead to attract those who are like-minded to you.  Life is too short. And this is a good thing really in 'disguise'. It's just a matter of perspective. ^^
You need to work on pleasing your self. First.  Caring how 'you' feel; caring about your own wants, and needs.  Let Others worry about offending You. <<<<<
You're a cool guy, and good friend material!! !!

Very true. I am sure that is it too, but like I have said, it makes me still feel crappy. Kinda like, if I can't deal with these losers and command respect from them, how can I get respect from actual smart tough people, ya know?

Its funny cuz I am ok though hehe.
Ah ok. Hope you do not get too much more! I think we are getting a thaw this weekend but I hope they are wrong. Still gonna buy synthetic salt asap though.
Uh oh. I am happy though cuz I luvs me some snow

Yeah I hope so.
I need to try to figure that out on my own, not just with time. I have always been told "oh with time you'll be more confident" or "oh with time this or that" and it couldn't be further from the truth. Technically yes I am more confident than I was five years ago but its not relative to age. I have to take what I want not just wait for it. I need to make the effort to learn how to be myself.
Hope your right. Thanks

Yeah. Again, something I need to actively work on. I'm sick of treading water so hopefully I can find some ambition.

Do not hate the snow Driving in it sucks I agree. I love the snow though! It muffles echos, and makes everything beautiful and relaxed and serine and l quiet and OMG its like magic to me That means a lot coming from a man of science
