      I need a speed loader for the P365!

      You know, I do not even recall, because I use the UpLula which I already know works well. I am not shilling for UpLula, just sharing my experience with their devices.

      I need a speed loader for the P365!

      I have been using UpLula loaders for pistols and for ARs for years. These devices just plain work.

      Shield EZ

      I realize I need to quantify "Many hours..."; sorry 'bout that, Chief. After a break-in period, with both of my EZ, I have fired thousands of rounds, and never had a failure due to the grip safety. I put my shooting hand high & tight, and all works well. And of course there is *no* substitute...

      Shield EZ

      I purchased the S&W M&P 9 Shield EZ m2.0 because I have severe arthritis in my hands. It is indeed easy to rack the slide. I also purchased the Performance Center version (could part with the original, or keep it for parts). Many hours of holster draw-fire-reholster has baked the grip and the...

      I carry the P365. I acquired it for its small size and patented relatively high capacity.

      Rockville Police host gun buy back

      Er, um, we did not buy our guns from the Government, so this is *not* a Gun-Buy-Back.

      Locked Breech or tip-up for a person without grip strength to rack the slide?

      I have the S&W EZ 9mm and the Performance Center version of that pistol, the latter of which has been one of my main MD W&C pistols for several years (I have severe arthritis in both hands). To me, the grip safety on the EZ ensures that I have good purchase on the gun, with a high, tight grip...

      What did you learn at your Wear & Carry training class that you didn't know before attending?

      As Stery40 pointed out, the Maryland permit is "Wear and Carry", not "Concealed Carry". I agree that Concealed means Concealed, but we just do not have that in Maryland.

      New to gun ownership! (suggestions welcome)

      Roarke, my smallest .357 at the moment is a 4" Python. For potential carry, 3" might be a better choice. But be aware, the shorter that barrel gets, the more the power drops. The Colts are pricy. Ruger makes some excellent .357s at a very good price points. And the Rugers are built like tanks...

      New to gun ownership! (suggestions welcome)

      Roarke, welcome aboard! I am just offering an alternate opinion to Ammo Jon's post: I would rather have 6 rounds of .357 Magnum than 10 rounds of 9mm.

      Note that this changes nothing for those who already have MD Wear and Carry permits.
