Yes just got mine 1858 New Army 5.5" and I love it. Haven't shot it because I can't find pyrodex pellets anywhere, and #10 Remington caps aren't available at Cabela's. Going to get a SS version next.
No, I cannot. Even though I can buy whatever is allowed in California, and pretty much everywhere else in the USA, and the Fed has no issues with me buying legally sanction firearms, the state of MD and her representative in all their wisdom wrote a law that forbids me from owning one.
Kind of resurrecting this post from the dead, here’s an update with no real updates:
- Ed Hershon disappeared on me. I last spoke with him around January and he’s not been heard from since. No response to emails or voicemails. His website got updated recently but I have no idea where he is. This...
No updates from Ed Hershon yet.
Cooter's has sold my P7 (to a fellow board member here and I'm glad she went to a loving home), and to my surprise the tiny Beretta 25ACP that I shot maybe twice and said that's not for me. I'm encouraged by some postings here and the P7's sale will cover my...

It may be a long shot for me, but we'll see what comes out of the case. At least there will be one more data point for those considering moving to MD with their legally acquired...
Quick update: I've spoken with Ed Hershon and he is taking on my case. Hopefully the sale of the P7 will pay for this (I'm told it's not sold yet).
Thanks to everyone who have given their opinion and time to reply to this thread, the insights and thought angles were amazing. Whatever the...
Hindsight would have been me leaving my collection with my parents in CA where my collection was perfectly legal.
I'm OK selling it since Cooter's clientele seems to be collector driven and I hope they go to a loving owner.
Here's a list of what I gave up and currently at Cooter's.
Mint condition (all less than 200 rounds)
HK P7M8
Sig P220
Sig P229 in 357Sig
GSG MP5 replica 22LR (brand new never shot)
SW 686 2.5" 357Mag
Beretta Cougar 40SW
Beretta 84F 380ACP
Good condition:
Beretta 92F (500 rounds or so)...
The P7M8 is at Cooter's in Forrest Hill along with all my other guns I owned. I have literally only shot it twice (no more than 100 rounds) since buying it in the mid 90s, that's akin to my Porsche 911 air cooled collection. Comes in the original case. PM me if you bought it, I may have the...
That's my question too.
Whoever processed my HQL application (along with my fingerprints) obviously didn't see anything wrong with my application.
But the trooper processing my 77R felt otherwise, I guess.
The one funny thing I can think of from my experience is I've never seen any government agency act so quickly. I mean if our government could replicate the speed in which the MSP showed up at my doors to take away my legally purchased property, we wouldn't have poverty, crime, and declining...
Per request this is what I gave up:
as you may gather I'm a German/Italian fan.
I have already been talking to Ed Hershon but he apparently is very busy and couldn't call me Tuesday as planned so I'll follow up with him next week. After reading your comments I'm more cautiously optimistic...
