      UPDATE: Copper Fouling

      I'm primarily a shotgun shooter, so I'll claim that as an excuse. I have a Ruger American in .223. Nice scope on it and a aftermarket 1.5 pound trigger I put in it. It was (was) a 1 MOA rifle with the proper factory match ammo, with maybe 400 rounds through it at this point. It started to open...

      What Happens When You Try to Buy a Handgun Not on the Roster?

      There seems to be much confusion in the retail stores in this state about the handgun roster, and I'm curious if MSP is enforcing the roster. This has happened to me twice now. One gun shop says they can't sell me a handgun because it's not on the roster. Then 10 miles away another gun shop is...

      Sell A Handgun not on the Roster?

      I've noticed that there are sometimes guns not on the roster for sale in local gun shops. It's usually a newly introduced model that hasn't completed the approval process, but folks are still buying them. Can gun stores do this legally? I would think that when the 77R was put through MSP would...

      UPDATED UPDATE: Glock 20 Doesn’t Like the Good Stuff

      I have a new Gen 5 Glock 20 with about 500 rounds through it. It runs Blazer brass and PMC Bronze Hunting ammo (super hot load) like a Swiss watch. One handed, limp wristed, no problem. If I put “premium” self defense ammo in it (Federal HST or Sig Elite Defense) it absolutely chokes. Every 4-5...

      Holster for coat pocket

      Hello All, I’m new to concealed carry, so I’m coming here to get some advice from the more experienced. I’m planning on carrying my Glock 43x IWB when the weather is warm. My concern is when it’s cold and I’m wearing a big winter coat. Doubt I’d be able to get to the gun quickly under the...

      UPDATE: Swampfox Sentinel Problem

      Thought I'd post this here for everyone to follow along with, and maybe get some insight from the more experienced folks on here... I bought a new Glock 43x MOS recently, intending to use it for concealed carry. My 55 year old eyes don't see iron sights very well without using a peep-site...

      UPDATE: Light Problem

      Hello All, I have a new Glock 43x MOS with a Streamlight TLR-7 Sub that is supposed to be a straight fit for this gun. This is my first light on any firearm, so that probably has something to do with my problem. I've shot it twice now, and the light came off both times after a hundred rounds or...

      Clean a Factory New Gun

      I’m picking up a new Springfield Garrison 1911 from MSP jail tomorrow. Do you experienced shooters out there clean and lube a factory new pistol before shooting it, or do you just go for it?

      GunBroker Question

      I'm getting ready to buy my first gun online. I'm not too excited by it for several reasons, but they do have what I want (need?) I see many sellers only take money orders of some kind. The thought of me sending someone online a money order and expect back something in return just seems...

      Fetter Ammo

      I went to Schrader's today to shoot a round of clays. For the first time in a year there was a choice of ammo! I think they had 5 different 12 gauge ammo manufacturers to choose from. On their recommendation, I tried some Fetter Competition 7.5's, 1 oz, 1280 fps loads for the first time. I have...

      Target Load Prices

      I just recently (late winter) got back into sporting clays. Last time I shot was maybe 20 years ago. I went up to Joel Etchens and finally got the O/U I always lusted after. It was a bad time to get back into shooting to be sure, but ammo availability and pricing seem to be going in the...

      Milsurp Gun Shop

      When I was last into shooting 20+ years ago there were a couple gun shops that carried lots of good milsurp firearms. Now, they all are gone it seems. Can anyone recommend any shops that carry (or will look for) good quality old military rifles in MD, or even NOVA or Delaware? Thanks!

      Borelock Question

      Hello Everyone, I haven't bought a handgun in MD in over 20 years, so I'm trying to wrap my head around all the changes. I'm getting my HQL as I speak, so that is taken care of. In the HQL class they said you must buy a borelock to take a gun out of the store. OK, whatever. I plan to purchase...

      Hello Everyone

      New to the Forum here. I'm getting back into shooting after about 20 years off. I had to get out of shooting when I started a family. I probably had around 20 guns and had to sell all but two of them because I needed the money. Fast forward to today and we just paid the last college tuition...
