Ain't it nice when you ask for one kind of advice and everybody offers you another? ;) Revolver Armorer in Suffolk; knowledgeable, professional outfit -- wheel guns are a speciality, but they work on everything.

The Humungus approves...

Is your extractor bleeding? ;)

For $300 dollars, the seller either doesn't know what he has...or does. If you did your checks thoroughly and you're quite certain there are no issues, buy it and bring the guy a six pack. But I'd give that HP a second, very close going over.

saltydog452: effectively and relatively comfortably concealing a K-frame inside the waistband has a lot to do with having a good holster and belt, what clothes you wear, and -- especially -- what kind of build you have. Presume if looking at K-frames, you're considering a snubby? There are...

What's surprising isn't that it happened, but that it doesn't happen more (perhaps it's an underreported phenomenon; alternately, perhaps there's more decency and honest transactions out there than one might think). But bottom line: meeting strangers for an exchange of cash and firearms seems a...

Have you zeroed which exact model(s) and in what configuration(s) you're looking for and at what price range?

Where in the article does it state Dosser was aware of the clerk before he entered the store, after the robbers departed?
