      Gunpowder registry

      Penalties Be cautious of Maryland court prosecutors, with some sleuthing (depending on their mood) could this be elevated to a felony charge and the possibility of a year or more imprisonment - which means loss of your right to possess firearms? Not worth my risking.

      colt defender headache

      I do not own one of these, so I can only try some logical elimination of possible causes. A pistol with a short barrel and small grip will be a bit more flippy than a full size and will react more to small changes. How close are you to being hit by the other shells (how much change is...

      Zero vs. Berrys bullets

      I do not know which brand may produce more consistent accuracy. But even at the widest weight variation, it is only a fraction over 1% difference. Unless you normally can shoot overlapping bullet holes in your targets, that should not make a significant difference. I think that internal case...

      Reloading 40S&W

      So far, just a regular reload run through Lee turret Press, using Lee carbide pistol dies (includes the FCD) and have never had any problem with loading or firing from XDm-40.

      Pistol Powders

      W231 / HP-38 esentially same powders for nearly any loading. Use it for 38Spec, 9mm, 357SIG, 40SW and 45acp. Meters really well. I load on a Lee turret press with attached powder measure. I usually use copper electroplated soft lead bullets. When I bought, they were nearly as cheap as...

      SAF SUES IN MARYLAND OVER HANDGUN PERMIT DENIAL UPDATED 3-5-12

      Del Smigel recorded (whether as a video tape or with cell phone unknown by me) his Q&A before the review board when he was appealing his turn-down for a less restrictive carry permit. (later posted on this forum) But then he is a delegate.

      SAF SUES IN MARYLAND OVER HANDGUN PERMIT DENIAL UPDATED 3-5-12

      I am sure that any LEGAL aspects of the Plaintiff's Reply have been multiply rehashed several times over – after all how much can you really say about a 10 pg brief that had to stay with only rebutting the arguments raised by the Defendants. That said, as I have only read up through post 9390, I...

      How to remove the receiver roll marks?

      With any type of filler, probably the most important step of the process is total removal of original finish and absolutely all oily contaminants. After all sanding, scraping, brushing, etc of the area. flush it with a quality solvent. Then no (oily) fingerprints. Do not use an air compressor...

      SAF SUES IN MARYLAND OVER HANDGUN PERMIT DENIAL UPDATED 3-5-12

      Back to the brief. Was wondering if the reasoning presented by the state was kept intentionally light and insubstantial. Since the 9 May reply from Guru is supposed to address the arguments raised in the state's brief, by presenting essentially nothing, there is no basis for a detailed reply...

      Downside Of Copper Reloading...

      Since the cost of the amount of copper necessary to plate 10lb of shot is going to be absolutely neglegable to the manufacturing cost, I'd say you are paying for selective manufacturing and (self) imposed limits by the mfg on 'special processed' ammo to keep prices up - not any actual copper cost.

      CCW training requirement just might be here soon.

      So just how do we want to be wording the emails and calls? Barking loud is one thing, but we need to be barking in the correct direction. How about some "legal" eyes on our team reviewing the bill again for other hidden in plain sight changes and mis-direction issues. Do we have any time...

      Is FFL123 a joke?

      There are probably a number of other issues/legalities for an FFL in Maryland. It may be worth your time to contact NRA. They have a section that specializes in assisting individuals in setting up legal FFL operations. From how to write a business plan and all the legal hoops and forms you...

      CCW training requirement just might be here soon.

      Right now, the state legialative delegates really only want two things: 1) go home on time. No emergency session extension. and 2) to be able to tell their constituents that they have saved the state from the gun nuts. It is way too late to start another bill thru the process of law making, but...
