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...

For those who purchase and shoot Missouri Bullet Co. lead bullets, owner and founder Brad Alpert passed yesterday after a strenuous fight with cancer. His wife, JoAnn is his business partner. https://www.castfuneralhome.com/m/obituaries/Jack-Brad-Alpert/Memories

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Hi, all. I have been given a significant "clergy appreciation month" gift and my wife has green-lighted my selfish use (my word, not hers) of the cash for a new pistola. This summer I traded off my 6" GP100 to fund an AR, anticipating big trouble this fall. Loved the platform, but the 6" tube...

I'm wanting a holster, OWB, for my 4" K frame. I purchased one just like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Smith-Wesson-Pancake-Holster-B29-34LH-Black-Leather-for-S-W-K-Frame-4-Barrel-/182292772315?hash=item2a717ef5db:g:NdkAAOSwgZ1Xrel5 off of Ebay, but it sits very high - I feel like the grips are...

I'm wanting to replace the grips on my 4" 66. Eventually, I want to make this a carry gun. Currently, it wears a Pachmayr grip that covers both frontstrap and backstrap. Unfortunately, I have very small hands - see photos - and anything extra in depth isn't helpful to me. I had a set of Magnas...

I'm a big fan of the GP100. I have a 6" that is K-frame smooth and shoots lights-out with my favorite hand-load, but its a bit much for carry as a field gun. I would love to get the barrel shortened to either 3" or 4". I've been doing some reading on the various forums, including THR, and...

I've always been a fan of Cross ballpoint, rollerball and fountain pens. They make a decent product at an affordable price. I was terribly disappointed, though, when I opened the fall/Christmas catalog the other day and found this...

When is it time to toss out older smokeless powder? I live in Houston and I keep my reloading stuff in my non-climate controlled garage, so internal garage summer temps probably get as hot as 120 and winter get down into the 40s - sometimes the same day! (I kid...it's a Texas weather joke.) I...

Since Texas is going open carry in a few months, I've been slowly adding a couple OWB holsters for use. I'll mostly continue IWB for various reasons, but some days I will carry open. I'm looking for suggestions for carrying my 5" Gov't model 1911. I'm 6'4", 325lbs. My waist is about 52" and...

Sadly, I am having to sell several of my guns. One on the block is my Smith & Wesson 17-5, 6" barrel, .22 LR, with target trigger, sights and hammer. The SN is AWYXXXX. Factory cardboard box is included. It's in very good condition - no major scratches, a little bluing is worn on the muzzle...

I'm suddenly sitting with some extra cash and, not having bought a gun in a while, am pondering the proverbial "what should I get?" question. I'm looking for something a bit more unusual, not BBQ gun-class stuff, but still a shooter. I don't buy collector guns that just sit and do nothing...

I'm helping a widow from church liquidate her husband's guns. One that we found in a briefcase is a Llama Especial in 7.62 (.32 Automatic). I searched for this gun here on THR and Gunbroker for a cash sale price. Overall, Llamas seem to be of unfavorable reputation and hit or miss quality...

I'm helping a widow liquidate her husband's gun collection. One that we found in a briefcase is the Hi Standard Double Nine in .22. Its one cylinder only (LR), approx. 6.5" barrel (I didn't measure, but that's what it looked like), a dulled nickel finish with some wear and tarnish spots (its...

I have a late-model 19 that I acquired a few months back, used, and at a smoking price. I may have figured out why the price was smoking hot. When dry-firing the gun, it binds just a bit on one chamber and a bit less on its next-adjacent chamber. Its enough that when shooting DA to throw the...
