Maryland compliant dictates a "Heavy Barrel" unless you have a pre 2013 ban lower receiver to build on. In my opinion the early M16A1/AR15 has unique feel from the pencil barrel and the flimsy light triangular handguards. It feels almost toy like compared to my Heavy Barrel M16A2 clone. You...
I go to Gunsmoke Range in Willards, about 20 minuets west of OC. Very humble place. Maybe humble is too nice, but it suits me just fine.
There is also an nice new indoor range just north of there in Delaware, but I've not tried it yet.
I have one in 40. It's fun except, as noted above, tends to slap my cheek with the metal tube. I don't notice it at first, but after 10 or 20 rounds it gets increasingly annoying. Somebody makes a stick on pad that is supposed to help but I haven't tried that yet.
I like how quiet it is...
This is exactly what I was looking for back when I was looking for initial and renewal classes. I'm sure there is a market for evening classes. Making it known to those who want it is a bigger issue
I pocket carry a LCP often and have tried quite a few holsters since I bought it 8 years ago. Like others, I keep coming back to the DeSantis Nemisis.
As a side note, its darn near imposible to quickly extract that little LCP from my pocket when seated in a car. With the sticky outside, you...
I've been to Gunsmoke probably half a dozen times in the past year. Last time was before Christmas. I bring a satchel of handguns when the wife an I go to our OC place on weekends and I sneak off to the pistol range if I get some free time. I was thinking of going out yesterday, but it was...
Lots of choices. But, avoid any high riding holster. I find that the center of the cylinder should be at or below the mid-line of the belt or the gun won't stay tucked against the body. This is even more the case with an IWB snubby holster.
What's up with the DC government? I renewed my permit about a month ago. Contrary to the above, when the renewal was approved they said "Your renewed License will be mailed to your registered mailing address." Nothing arrived and my permit card is now expired. No further correspondence was...
I suggest getting your training now. Shop for a good instructor, convenient time, and fair price. It will be ready when you need it. Yes, you are gambling on a favorable SCOTUS ruling, but its a pretty good bet.
If and when Maryland loosens the Carry restrictions, training, and...
