[jakbob]

from what I see on that link as of 5/14, it says it is illegal in CA and MA. which is massachusetts...

Here is the response I received back from BCM on the Pistol...


"Maryland has some obscure and very unconstitutional laws regarding firearms. There is some conflict over handguns that exist on the approved roster. Only handguns that appear on the approved roster are considered legal for ownership. Wilson Combat does not sell to any state agencies that currently enforce unconstitutional law. California and Massachusetts, both states that exempt law enforcement officers from the policies that apply to its citizens, are also on the no sales list from wilson combat as well as our own. Maryland has forbidden series 70 safeties however, the X-TAC, which the BCM® 1911 is built on, is on the approved list. The BCM® 1911 is a separate and unique model despite it being an identical frame to the X-TAC. We have removed the restriction to Maryland however, we highly advise you to confirm legality with your state and local authorities."

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

Apparently there's some sort of issue with the safeties?

What's that about?

For the life of me I can't find any information on that "forbidden" Safety. So I am sending a file of the SB281...ignorance is not bliss in this case...

At least it seems like they're now willing to sell to us, not that I would be a buyer at that price....
