Oh, he's still around, jumping from post to post-thread to thread. Trying to get his post count up. Whatever good that's gonna do him.

I started corresponding with Jeff in 1970, and my name is on the 1976 Columbia Conference Charter that set up the IPSC. anything else you want to know? Check it, it's on Google. I"m John Davis. google the IPSC startup. I was 10th at the first IPSC natl''s rode out to Golden, CO from St louis with Bill Wilson, for a fact. I was 19th at the first IPSC world shoot, in Rhodesia, instead of 3rd, cause I was 4 days getting there, no sleep, due to an aircontroler's strike in london. That's checkable, too.

The high .45 user in that world shoot, Raul walters, I beat 7 out of 9x on his home range in Columbi, MO, in 1978, after I drove 130 miles each way to get there.

Just because what happens to be your name is on that charter does not you a signatory make.

Most especially when that name is also the same as this known, worthless POS - http://xavierthoughts.blogspot.com/2006/07/goodbye-gunkid.html?m=1

Show us a picture of yourself with a newspaper with a current date. I am good friends with John Shaw, captain and 9 year member of the IPSC world championship team from that time frame. John forgets nobody.


I'll be glad to go over to John's house and look at the pics from that era to confirm or deny your story...



Sincerely, Mackay.

"John Melvin Davis is well known among internet gunnies as "Gunkid, Hardin, Andy, and a hundred other pseudonyms he would use to disrupt gun forums. Gunkid was the inventor of the assault wheelbarrow, the advocate of a "debarked" Chihuahua as an alarm system, and a .223 fired from a 10" barrel as the ultimate weapon, which he claimed was useful up to 300yds, but only when used with a suppressor because Gunkid had a severe flinch when shooting without one. He liked to allude to his magnificent IPSC shooting career. There are no records of his exploits. However, there are complete records of other competitors scores, shot in the time frame he claims to have been a competitor."

Oh yeah, John Davis.

I remember Tony Kanalay had some choice words for and about him when he was still posting on the old Shooters.com site. Among other things something about him shooting someone's dog. Tony called him out pretty squarely, IIRC, and had him rattled. I had forgotten his name until now.

If squish is JD, he seems to have improved his grammar.

Wish I could remember the details. I don't think confirmation is what scares him. IIRC, it's things those who were there remember about him. From what I remember of the tone of Tony's post, it wouldn't surprise me if he had been "deleted".

tony's a lying pos. Shaw had just got started about 1979, I had to stop competing in 1980. Milt's wife must have forgotten (or Milt never told her) that I paid-back the money that he give me to go to Africa. I made a nice, blued steel and gold crayon, engraved (DVC) trophy buckle for Milt. We were good friends. He kept it in his wife's Jewelry box, or so he said.

just because I don't bother to come here often doesn't mean that you amount to a [bleep], or that I am concerned about what a bunch of losers 'think" that they "know".

Don't look for the "knock down" effect of riles, you won't usually see it, but the sixgun is deadly in the hands of good shooters. You need placement & penetration & you can punch your tag! If you need more horsepowder you can move up to the 454, 460 or the mighty 500, along with additional recoil. Shoot what you can handle & the sixgun is a great hunting weapon.

the above,basically covered the subject rather well.
I had used both a 8 3/8" 357 mag and 8 3/8"44 mag revolver for several decades before the 445 DWSM came out , I bought one, with a 10" barrel and its an excellent pistol, I also bought a 454 cassul with a 8" barrel a few years later, both have significantly more power than the 44 mag, which pushes a lee 310 grain to about 1250 fps in my 10" S&W revolver, each can push a similar weight bullet at least 300 fps faster, but the net result did not change, a good hit with any of the 44-45 caliber revolvers kills deer and hogs very effectively but you seldom get the instant kills that a 308 win or 270 win provide, with similar hits, this does not make them less fatal, to the game, but it may take a different mind set, hand gun hunting is a bit more like archery in that you normally need to get into under 50-70 yards for quick easy shots and game tends to run, a short distance then drop.
theres no real disadvantage or advantage in using the larger more powerful calibers other than increased recoil and noise and the pistols are larger and heavier, but in exchange you get a bit flatter trajectory, and at least on paper more damage on target, but because even a 44 mag loaded to 1250 fps punches clean thru deer and hogs and produces a very dependable fatal wound Ive found little advantage in the larger and more powerful calibers
