      Lowest Transfer Fee in MD?

      I've used Eakle Firearms in Ellicott City a few times. His transfer rates have increased a bit and he is not the cheapest around, but he is in a convenient location. More importantly, as a class 07 FFL, he can handle the fired shell casing requirement on handguns that don't include it from the...

      Interesting experience at AGC

      I was at AGC a couple of weeks ago (just got my range badge :D) and spent about 90 minutes at the pistol range. I was on lane 9 and there a few others present a bit further down - near lane 15 and then maybe 20-21. Just as I was packing my stuff away in the trunk, another member showed up and...

      So many places to shoot

      It's been a while since I posted on this board, but this thread is relevant to me as just today I joined the Baltimore Rifle Club and got my AGC range badge :D... It was actually pretty noisy there today between 2 and 3:30 or so...about 10 lanes in use on the 100yd range. Pistol range was...

      Feedback on SIG P-250

      I have a P250 compact in 9mm. I happen to like it quite a bit. The DOA trigger is probably a love it - or hate it kind of thing, but for me, a relatively inexperienced shooter it feels very good. I actually like that every shot will have the same exact trigger pull. Note that I also have a...

      compact 45s

      I'm not sure what you mean? The magazine disconnect is just an additional safety that prevents the gun from firing if the magazine is out. The P345 also has a regular manual safety on the slide. Are you worried that if you actually use the gun to defend yourself, and during the investigation...

      compact 45s

      I just picked up a Ruger P345 - it holds 8+1 in a single-stack magazine. One of the reasons I bought it was the grip - I have kind of small hands as well, and this feels great to me. Only possible downside is that this model has a magazine disconnect safety - I don't mind it, but you...

      heads up ammo at bass pro arundel...

      No more .45 though...I picked up the last two boxes they had in stock of .45 - it was the Winchester SXZ 'training' ammo.

      Good Ammo prices (9MM), locally or online

      Just on a whim I stopped by Bass Pro in Arundel Mills, and they had two boxes of Winchester SXZ .45 auto 'training' ammo...$24.95 /50 count. Needless to say I bought them both - not sure when they will be getting more in.

      Good Ammo prices (9MM), locally or online

      9mm seems to be plentiful. Both WalMart and Dick's in Columbia had lots of WWB. THey also had a lot of .40, 38 special, and .44mag. What I can't seem to find anywhere is .45 FMJ. Dick's had some .45 Hornady CD...but not what I'm looking for right now. If anyone finds any .45acp 230gr FMJ...

      Finally got to do some shooting!

      Thanks! Should have it in a week. BTW, from your screen name I take it you are a skier...I just took the family out to Colorado over the easter break - we were out in Silverthorne and skied Copper Mountain for a few days. Was my first time skiing out west and had a blast (except for a couple...

      Finally got to do some shooting!

      Was over on the eastern shore of Delaware, and man it's nice to know someone with a couple of hundred acres of vacant, flat land :). My brother in law (Erik aka Delmarvaguns here on MDShooters) and I headed over to a friend's farm the other day with a few of his personal collection. I spent...

      FNH Five Seven Pistol

      I had my eye on this FN too - my BIL has one and loves it. However, Kel-Tec now offers this: 30(!) rounds of .22 magnum in the magazine! A poor man's FiveSeven? Sure, but who cares! The gun should have street price somewhere around $400, and ammo will be much cheaper and more...

      Stopped by for a visit

      Agree on all counts. I stopped in to their shop today - nice place, very fair prices, and genuinely nice guys to talk to. I wasn't in there to buy anything, but Mark was very cool about letting me see some of the guns in the case. 2A gets a definite thumbs up from me!

      IWI Jericho

      I was all set to purchase a Jericho 941 .40 about a month ago, until I realized that this particular caliber was not on the MD roster. It's approved in 9mm and 41AE, which I think was only sold for one year before switching to 40 s&w. It probably wouldn't be too much trouble to get the caliber...
