Try a .433 with a .015 patch. 20-25 grains of powder, but expect to bracket it to get just the right load.

Not as such, but non-residents can get an MD Wear & Carry permit. The problem is that the State Police is very sticky with them for everybody. Maryland is a may-but-probably-won't-issue state.

Hmph. I'd like to see BP get some attention, but have very little confidence that the mainstream shooting press will do anything beyond the Duffer Brigade level.

I would avoid any cleaner with pumice or other abrasive like the plague. Cleaning...well, I'm happy with Simple Green.

I've got one of those DuPont kegs! Empty...I'd thought to put powder into it. I've bought Goex in 25-lb bags, not sure they sell it that way any more. It's also available in cases of 1-lb bottles. Over in Europe, Swiss is sold in 1 kg bottles...and Null B in 200-gram tubes.

I'd try a .454 bullet. 14 grains of Swiss #1, with a filler over it, will work fine, but be careful, Swiss #1 will dribble out the nipples if you aren't careful. Swiss #2 is more often used for revolver.

No. They and their staffs have no comprehension of what they are legislating about. I know a former state legislator in Maryland, she told me she was appalled at the sloppy, shoddy work done crafting legislation. These people don't seem to understand that all laws get people killed, either in...

Interesting concept, but I'm not sure it would work with anything other than the lightest guns...and the thinnest wearers.

I'm trying to find a way to do a strong side, butt to the rear, shoulder holster. I'm both large and long-torsoed. The long torso makes a belt CCW rig difficult to conceal under a jacket...nothing short of a topcoat is long enough. The large chest makes a conventional weak-side shoulder...

I'll play.... 1. Revive the S&W Model 16 in .32 S&W Long. 3Ts gun, 6 inch barrel. Sell them by subscription if you have to. 2. A quality repro of the Adams percussion revolver. 3. This one is the hard one...a striker-fired pistol with an electronic trigger. Hard because electronic...

I'm not quite sure how old my Wogdon & Barton flintlock dueller is...but that firm ceased operations around 1805. And yes, the gun is a shooter. It's my competition gun for the 'Cominazzo" match at the World Muzzle-Loading Championships. Not that I shoot it much, I've got repros for training...

Good grief, what a bunch of defeatists.... Back to the original question.... I think wood-and-steel will be popular. Revolvers, metal-framed self-loading pistols, bolt-action rifles. I also think there will be an interest in the "also-ran" oddities. Anything outside the AR/AK/1911/Glock axis.

From my perspective, SYG does not relieve a non-LEO of an obligation to avoid an encounter if possible. What it does is attempt to stop overzealous prosecutors from charging people because they did not try to run away from an assailant who had a clear physical advantage. A CCW should never be...

4F (Swiss #1) is a perfectly good propellant charge for pistol. The only trouble I've had is that it will filter out of nipple holes and touchholes. I normally reserve it for flintlock pistols, and insert the touchhole pick before loading. Shot development is much faster. Prime with Swiss...

If you're shooting for accuracy, you'll find the guns shoot best with relatively light loads. Around 15 grains, possibly less. I shot a 9-grain load at 25 yards for years.

High-end antique firearms do well, but you have to know what you are buying...and where to sell it. Before the Internet, you could make money buying Cowboy-era guns on the East Coast, taking them to the West Coast, and trading them for Civil War guns that would fetch top dollar on the East...

The way I see the 5th Amendment case, it applies to both buyers and sellers. Someone buying an NFA item, especially an MG, has got thousands (and usually tens of thousands) of dollars tied up in a gun that is in a legal Limbo. The buyer does not have his money...but does not have the gun...

Just got a Form 4 (individual) back...11 months almost to the day. What bugs me is that it was the second Form 4 this year, the fourth in the last five years. I can understand running a first-time NFA buyer through the whole mill, but repeat buyers can reasonably be cleared on a NICS check...

We're just starting to see them. The Shield RMS and RMSc, particularly the latter. And the Docter, if you can find one. Although a 3/4 sized Trijicon RMR would be fantastic. It doesn't help that the gun makers keep thinking in terms of an adapter plate, which effectively raises the whole...

Simple. Bills got through the House. Then died in the Senate. It's one thing to have a paper-thin majority of one or two votes...it takes three to five to have real control in the Senate. Not to mention the current rules allow for make-believe filibusters...which mean you really need 60...
