Why is this handgun illegal in MD

[Vile Shadow]

For $3300, it probably violates some rape statutes as well.

The only 1911 anyone will get that kind of money out of me for might be an unissued WWI original.

 

[Pinecone]

The disconnector is not a drop safety. it prevents firing with the slide out of battery. The original 1911 design didn't have a firing pin block or a Schwarz safety like Kimbers. Not needed.

A solution in search of a problem.

Like the 1911 grip safety. Only there due to cavalry officers on the board who felt it was needed for use on a horse.

 

[photoracer]

That thing will make all of your original Colt 1911s feel like junk, but then again my $1300 Dan Wesson does that. The one thing the 1911 did was create an entire industry of gunsmiths and parts makers to improve its function.

integral lock?

 

[thomfantomas]

wow for that price i can buy 6 glock 21's f-that....

 

[putneyswope]

If you call them they will tell you that series 70 guns aren't legal in Maryland. Lol. Idiots...

 

[SWO Daddy]

BCM has been less than helpful to Marylanders trying to navigate our assinine laws. I asked them if they could remove the "mid weight" nomenclature from their 18 and 20" SS410 barrels and they politely declined even though the barrels have zero taper.

For $3300 I'd get a real Wilson Combat and of ammo.

Ehh, I wouldn't fault them for that. It's not like they are doing what other companies have done, like refusing to sell legal rifled to MD residents based on their lack of effort to understand the laws.

Besides if you want to play that game, it would help if people in this state stopped frequenting a certain retailer who is no friend to those who value their 2A rights. Alas, people seem to shop anywhere for cheap/readily available .22lr (no matter the quality).

They refused to sell rifles or lowers to Maryland for years.

As does Rock River FWIW.

Probably Lazy idiots in the Legal Dept., sent and email expressing my indifference (Politely).

How does that make sense before FSA 2013 was signed into law/went into effect?

There was no restriction on AR15's/lowers other than the 20rd mag cap.

The handgun roster predates FSA 2013

 

[jimbobborg]

But you'd still have 6 Glocks

What does the handgun roster have to do with rifles?

 

[swinokur]

Someoene postulated the reason the wouldn't sell the 1911 was because of the roster, not just rifles.

I understand that, but 1time was discussing their rifles/lowers:

They refused to sell rifles or lowers to Maryland for years.

I want to know the reasoning (if any) for that refusal, if it was the case.

My guess is they were busy enough that it wasn't worth looking into MD laws. They changed their mind about 3 or 4 years ago and started shipping them here but for years before that the ***we do not ship*** included Md.
