    Missouri Bullet Co - Jo Ann RIP

    I saw on Facebook this evening that Jo Ann Alpert, the voice behind the phone at Missouri Bullet Co., passed away March 27. I don't know what from. Her husband and co-owner, Brad, died in October 2020 from cancer. I had the privilege of meeting them about 10 years ago. Good people and great...

    GP-100 .44 Special

    Ok. I didnt know if there was a block of SN's that were known to be problematic. Thanks!

    GP-100 .44 Special

    I'm considering one of these in the 3" barrel to add to my 3" .357 Wiley Clapp model. I remember that when these first came out there were some issues with the front sight channel and cylinder bore diameter. In looking at used ones, is there anything specific I need to know, or serial numbers...

    Smith 17 vs Sp101 .22 LR

    A local shop has both of these in their used case, both for the same price. The Smith must have spent a year in a farm truck tool box - the exterior is pretty rough - but the action is smooth and the bore looks good. The Ruger is in better physical condition. The previous owner bought it for his...

    Ok, ok...So it was asked in a moment of anxiety. Thanks for the help.

    Components in the car

    I'm moving out of Houston to a place about 2 hours away. I know I can't haul primers, powder or ammo in the mover's truck. I have about 5K primers and about 6 cans of varying weights of powder, total is probably under 3lbs. Is it safe to be carrying this divvied up in a couple cardboard boxes in...

    Tell me about TUCKABLE IWB holsters

    High Noon makes a few. I've used their Split Decision for a Taurus TCP, Kahr CW9, Ruger SR9, and a Sign P238. At around $30, they're a bargain. They're probably not as durable as many that are out there (the Split Decision uses a very thin leather) but for the price, who cares? Q

    LCRx holster availability?

    I'm looking for a reasonably priced OWB holster, preferably kydex, for my 3" LCRx. So far the only ones I've found are the Ruger/Mitch Rosen rig and several choices from Simply Rugged. Unfortunately, both are in the $80 range. I'm wanting to stay sub-$50, and the lower the better but am having...

    A couple light weights

    Here's the other end of the spectrum from classic Colts and S&Ws - the polymer 3" LCRx. Weighs right at 1lb loaded with 5 158gr SWCs.

    Best budget revolves under $350

    I believe he meant the Taurus 66. It's actually the size of the Smith 686. Smith 66 =/= Taurus 66.

    Having a hard time deciding which Used .357 to buy... opinions please.

    Which one fits your hand best? That's the one. Personally, I would take the GP100. They fit my hands and my hands fit them.

    Getting into 44 Special

    Any leading with that MBC 240gr SWC? I've always used Brad's bullets but I thought this particular bullet was too hard for Special velocity & pressure.

    Getting into 44 Special

    Right, Zeke. I have a couple manuals in the garage plus data from the powder manufacturers. I'll double check before rolling anything. Just looking for favorite recipes that I can confirm. Appreciate the reminder!

    Getting into 44 Special

    I've got a trade planned to get into a very gently used GP100 in .44 Spcl. I've been reloading about 10 years for 9mm, .38, .357, .45ACP and .45 Colt, almost exclusively using MBC. I know there are dozens of bullet and powder combinations out there for this carteidge. I'm looking for nice...

    Current lever action rifles

    In .357 Mag/.38 Special, looks like the choices are Rossi R92, Marlin 1894 or Henry Big Boy. Any thoughts or caveats of one vs the other? Looking for a plinker and fun gun, mostly. I know Rossi's are hit-n-miss, QC wise. Worth the risk? Also, why are these three so hard to find?

    .22 choices

    I'm thinking about returning a .22 revolver to my safe. I had a Smith model 17 a few years ago and loved it. It was a great shooter, smooth trigger, and the 6" barrel gave tremendous accuracy. Unfortunately, the Smiths are out of my price range. I'm looking around $500 for a new-to-me gun. I'm...

    3 inch barrel revolvers.

    I haven't seen one of these posted, yet, so here's my recently acquired 3" Wiley Clapp GP100. Haven't even had a chance to shoot it yet! I've wanted one for years, and one came up for sale locally so I horse traded and picked it up last week.
