I finally saw one in a shop today. Never seen one in person, nor for sale locally. Price was what I thought was high for a gun in somewhat rough shape. However, never seeing them for sale makes me think they can command a premium. Would you pay over $400? Over $500?

Back when I started reloading a few years ago I really could have used a nice concise "how-to" video to get me going. Never did see one, although there is one set of vids out there, I thought I could do it a little bit better... or at least faster. So I threw this together. If I missed...

I have a friend who would like to sell a Hi-Standard Sentinel .22lr, satin finish, 2" barrel. He has no idea of it's value, and neither do I, and was wondering if some THR afficionados might be able to give him an better idea than I can. I know the gun itself is not that valuable, ($150-$200...

So I finally started loading .44 mag, something I'd been meaning to do for a while now. As I was finishing up my last of 100 powderpuff rounds (8 gr Unique) rounds, I saw a couple of cases that I had overlooked, so I grabbed them and started to load again. On the first case, there was a...

I'm bad at math, and an IDPA n00b, but after copying down my scores from my first classifier, I think I ended up with a total of 114 seconds total. When they list "points down" that's total points down, not seconds down, right? So you take the points down and add them to your stage time and...

I'm doing the EPL thing, and only just started, it was $750 then. When did it jump up to a grand?

I get to have a muzzle engraved with something, and I can't think of what to put on there! Any THR types have a creative/funny bent that could give me some suggestions? (And still take the high road?) Swears are okay on the engraving, but obviously not on the posting here. I'll take PMs for...

I see this from time to time, that one can fire from the pocket if necessary. Has anyone ever tested this? I have no doubt that the gun would fire, and that the bullet would exit the pocket, but was wondering bout recoil, accuracy, flame, etc. Anyone done this? If not, I have a few jackets...

Are you supposed to bang it out forwards or backwards with a brass punch? The bullet is somewhat nearer the muzzle end.

Well, I detail stripped my S&W 1911 today to see if I could do it. Turns out, it's no problem at all! Strips just fine. Re-assembly took a few more minutes, but no big deal. Was pretty proud of myself, too, put the slide back on, rack, click, rack, click, all is well... 'till I noticed...

I picked up a used Ciener .22lr conversion kit for my 1911s. Shoots mostly okay, except now and then it won't go fully into battery.... just a half millimeter off, but enough to keep it from firing. Looks to me like the cutout on the barrel that the extractor slots into might not be right...

My brother in law posed this question to me last night. Supposing it is around the War of 1812. If you mounted a 50BMG machine gun (with unlimited ammunition and theoretical barrel life) on the deck of a smaller sloop of war, with a competent operator, and set her against an average frigate of...

I'm looking at buying a .22lr conversion kit for either a G19 or a 1911. I was leaning toward the G19 conversion personally for no real reason. A big part of this kit idea is being able to let my 7 year old boy shoot it as well. I did not know which one he would choose. So, he having equal...

OMG- sent my beautiful old P&R Model 19-4 in for repair coz someone had smithed it to the point where it wouldn't fire reliably. in double action. 1st piece of bad news: Need new cylinder, (all chambers expanded) that's a hundred more bucks that I wanted to spend. 2nd piece of bad news...

First Impressions: This is the first new revolver I’ve ever bought. All of my other ones were bought used, and were built in the 1970s, 80s or early 90s. I had never bought a revolver with an internal lock, but I wanted this gun so much that the lock became a non-factor. Picking it up out of...

I don't shoot much 30-06. Last year I made up some loads for deer season, using 150 gr Nosler Partitions. I didn't make notes on the amount of IMR 4350, but I do know that I experimented in .2gr increments till I found the "best" grouping and went with that. Somehow "52.0 grains" sticks in my...

I don't think so, but I wanted to check with my THR experts. -James

Hi all! I want to organize a southern maine shoot some weekend in late September/early October. I have a good gravel pit to go to, lots of space, lots of targets of opportunity, and pretty easy to get to as long as the snow doesn't fall. :) Anyone interested? WE could have a BBQ at my...

I have a Gun Vault that is about a year old, so 2005 maunufacture date. Programming it has little or nothing to do with the instuction manual, either the one that came with it or the online one on the GunVault website. I was able to do it with some large amount of trial and error and...
