      What has the worst recoil that you've ever shot?

      Shooting .357 Magnum out of my Bond Arms Texas Defender derringer. Yow!

      US WWII gun collection!

      After the Japanese surrender in WW II, my Dad's ship made a stop at one of the many little islands in the Pacific. He and his buddies went into one of the caves and they found a HUGE stash of rifles. His Captain ordered them all confiscated. Too bad he couldn't bring one home.

      Handgun recommendations

      My first 1911 was a Walther Arms Colt Government Tribute. Very reliable, but of course it's a .22 LR. Was a great gun to teach plinking to my 11-year old granddaughter - she much prefers it over my H&K VP9, heh... One of these days I hope to have enough money to buy a Kimber, maybe the Desert...

      How prepared are you for a home invasion?

      I keep my Ruger LC9s on my nightstand, unless the grandkids are visiting, and then I keep it in my biometric locked pistol safe - next to my bed. There are other things you need to do to help discourage home invasions, such as motion-detection lights outside the house. And things we sometimes...

      Hold off or buy during these times?

      --------------------------------------------- I agree. I've been buying guns whenever I see the price looking reasonable. From time to time, some I'm considering go down in price, and I jump at the opportunity.

      MD wear and carry tracker

      I submitted about the same time as you. I only got the permit a week ago (2/4/2021).

      Got my Handgun Permit - A Little Nervous...

      Good to know. It wasn't mentioned in my carry training. But then, you're supposed to keep your magazine out of the gun when locked up? That's crazy. Luckily I live alone, but I'll have to do that when the grandkids visit. Sheesh

      Got my Handgun Permit - A Little Nervous...

      I have a TS clearance and that helped. On my carry permit though, it specifies that my permit is valid only as long as I work for the place that granted the clearance. I'm training to become a gunsmith though - retirement career - so after I retire I'll have to re-apply with that as my...

      Got my Handgun Permit - A Little Nervous...

      FreeState Gun Range ( https://www.freestategunrange.com/ ) has excellent training courses. I took their carry license training, and they helped me complete the application.

      Got my Handgun Permit - A Little Nervous...

      No, got my HQL three years ago. This is Maryland's carry permit.

      Got my Handgun Permit - A Little Nervous...

      So, my "Handgun Permit" (how they refer to the carry license here) arrived last week; heck, it only took 3 months. I went and purchased an Urban Carry G3 holster and wore it empty for a few days to let the leather soften. Then I carried it with my Ruger LC9s. Feels good, but...unloaded... Why...

      Newby Rifle Suggestions

      I got myself a Ruger 10/22 Carbine .22 LR. It was on sale. Gonna try to get an AR-15 as soon as I'm able.

      AR-15 restrictions...

      Does Maryland restrict the magazine on the M&P 15/22 to only 10 rounds?

      What's going on in St Mary's County? (Biden Signs)

      I drive over to the Eastern Shore weekly to go to an outdoor range ( Delmarva Sporting Clays ). I come from Anne Arundel County so I take the bay bridge and go down US 50. Before the election, I saw several Biden signs, and lots of Trump signs. Last week there was only one Biden sign left...

      How long for MSP to accept HGP payment?

      I sent my $75 in on the 15th of October. My application was passed about the middle of November. The last step, where I get interviewed, has yet to occur. I did get an email from them saying they've assigned my interview to another officer. That was on the 23rd of November. Still waiting.

      Wrong Caliber for the Pistol

      When I first got started, I made the mistake of buying a few boxes of 9x21 ammo for my H&K VP9. I wondered why I was getting failure-to-feed jams, LOL. Doh!

      Hearing Loss in the Old West?

      I blew my ears out, but in a different way - playing in rock bands when I was a kid (I was the bassist). Yep, hearing aids for me...

      Hearing Loss in the Old West?

      My oldest grandson's dad served as a Marine Field Artillery Cannoneer in the Gulf War. I think he would agree with you.
