      This is my continuation of this thread http://www.mdshooters.com/showthread.php?p=3059800#post3059800 which was closed for some reason, despite no reason being given or even apparent. Since I can't use the quote button anymore, the attributions are going to be lost. Anyway, one member said...

      Is the Colt 6920 legal in MD?

      I'm interested in buying a Colt 6920 but am unsure of the legality currently in MD. Could anyone please advise? This is what I'm looking at: http://www.gunsamerica.com/929238461/Colt_Law_Enforcement_M4_A1_SOCOM_Carbine_5_56_NATO_223_Rem_New_LE6920_LAYAWAY_OPTION_LE6920SOCOM.htm The seller...

      Use .45 or new .40

      On the one hand... A coworker is willing to sell me his used Beretta PX4 Storm in .45 ACP. He estimates he's shot it about 200 times. I haven't seen it, but he says it looks pretty much just like new. He wants $500 for it. On the other hand... I could get a new Storm in .40 S&W for $550 from...

      Eickhorn knife and tool care cloth

      Eickhorn knives come with a foil-wrapped cloth, labeled as above, further described as... Does anyone know what this "highly developed special oil" really is? I assume it would be cheaper to buy a bottle of it and use a paper towel or shop rag, rather than trying to stock up on these branded...

      Tanto...or not

      Is there any practical reason to get a tanto blade vs a regular blade? Is the tanto style better at something? Not as good at something else? Some knives, such as the SOG Flash II, can be had either way. I'm just wondering if there's any reason to choose one blade style over the other.

      Colt 1911

      I don't know much about Colt 1911s. If I wanted a new Colt (actual Colt), which current exact model most closely matches what was issued to American armed forces in either world war?

      Eickhorn KM2000

      Can anyone say for a fact if it's the KM2000, or KM2000 BW, that is issued to the German military? Wikipedia says its the KM2000, but doesn't mention the KM2000 BW at all. One seller on eBay says its the BW version. Eickhorn's website has the "this is what the German military uses" claim on...

      SPAS-12 safety

      I've always been interested in the Franchi SPAS-12 shotgun. It's my understanding that it originally had a paddle or lever safety, but that these would eventually begin to actually discharge a chambered round when flipped on or off. Franchi apparently recalled these early versions and replaced...

      How concealed does concealed-carry have to be?

      I think my thread title sums up pretty nicely what I'm trying to find out. Suppose one does get a CCW. How concealed does the gun have to be? If its in a waistband holster, inside the waist, and I bend over and my shirt come up and part of the gun becomes plainly visible...have I committed a...

      Current status of carry permits in MD?

      What is the current status of carry permits in Maryland? All I know about this topic comes from about a dozen years ago, when I got a job with an armored truck company. I could get an open-carry permit for use while actually working, and at the time, the process took about nine months. It was...

      Night sights

      What's a good option for night sight? Trijicon is the brand I've heard mentioned most often, just wondering how good they actually are, and what some other options might be. My gun us the Beretta PX4 Storm, and will primarily be a home/self defense weapon. I've seen that night sights are...

      Military vs Civilian Mk23

      I'm interested in the H&K Mk23, but just learned that the one I can get as a civilian isn't exactly the same as what the military gets. It appears the differences are small, but I have do have questions. Wikipedia—that infallible source of all that is true on the Internet—has this to say...

      Kids and guns

      I have two boys, ages 11 and 7. I think it would be a good idea to show them (or at least the older one, if not both) a gun (handgun, the only kind I have) and show them how it works and how to use it. And most importantly, how to be safe with it. They do not live with me most of the time...

      What's a good .40 S&W self-defense round?

      What's a good .40 S&W self-defense round? The salesmen at two shops (one local, one Walmart) both recommended the Federal Hydra-Shok 135gr. The local-shop salesman pointed out some other rounds as well, but of the Hydra-Shok 135gr, both commented that it's what a lot of police departments use...

      Out-of-state resident buying in MD

      It is my understanding that if a MD resident wants to buy a handgun in a state with no waiting period (like PA), the handgun needs to be transferred to a MD FFL who will impose the waiting period before delivery. But what if a non-MD resident wants to buy at a show in MD? I'm from Arizona...
