They are supposed to be on the handgun roster next update. Transfer with MSP paperwork and I assume you will need an HQL

Im also curious about this. I was interested in keeping it bedside.

It is a "firearm," just not quite a shotgun, AOW, or handgun, so count on MD to be as restrictive as they can on it.

Without MD LEGISLATION, how can the bureaucracy make up rules out of whole cloth about a firearm class that is specifically authorized by Federal law?

 

[jimbobborg]

Keep pestering the higher ups there about it and it will be banned, like it is in Texas.

Legal come June 12th I believe is the date. It will be transferred as a handgun.

I'll admit, it's hard to argue with this.

The obvious problem with Maryland is the elected, why aren't or can't any democrat pro gun folks get in? Just seems odd in this many years

Why, that's crazy talk!

Read up on Boss Tweed and Tammany Hall. We have the Curran dynasty here.

 

[LONGSHOT]

it was submitted to the handgun roster board,remember they don't have to approve it.

 

[swilliams499]

It's already approved. June 12th you will be able to purchase if you can find one that is. Transferred as a handgun. On another note I wonder if that changes any of the laws for it.

so I guess this means we'll need an approved bore lock on this 'handgun' ? Wonder if there is any approved cable that is actually long enough...

Look to Baltimore for your answer. That is an urban area strangling an entire state. Many of those electing those in office really believe the rhetoric.

There must be something I'm missing about a pistol grip. I never could shoot it accurately. The shoulder stock worked better for me.

 

[DutchV]

It's already legal to build one, assuming you do it correctly. See the Urban Broom from Scott's. And at least a few of us built them prior to Mossberg making it a catalog item.

This has been my experience...and recommended by no less than Louis Awerbuck.

 

[Biggfoot44]

Shoulder stock is always better. That said, a " witness protection style " pistol grip as illustrated here is far superior to the typical "pistol shaped" pistol grips usually seen.

This one is tripped up by Md's recent change classifying anything with less than 16in bbl as a handgun. Not only does this effect purchasing, but also transport.

The sweet spot for Maryland would be somthing like this with a 16.1 inch bbl . Too small of a niche market for a large mfg, but you can make one yourself ( following the proper fine print on sequencing of course).
