Hello all, as I dream about actually holding my p99 in my hands for the first time in my home (still 9 more days to go!), something came to mind. That is the fact that the p99 that I bought had white, laser etched markings on the slide. The large walther banner and the "P99" were all white...

Hello all. I know that these "my first handgun" threads are probably boring you all to death right now, but I must express my joy to the people most understanding- you good TFL folk! After about a year of research and discussion I am finally getting my first handgun! This is truly a boyhood...

Hello again all. It has only taken a year of frequent range visits, tons of research, and constant nagging but I think that I may have finally talked my parents into getting a pistol. They have decided that since we Maryland residents will be very limited in our selection of pistols starting...

Hello all. This is my first semester in college and of course I have that dreaded freshman research paper to do. To make matters worse, I have the hardest english teacher in the school (she is a real nice lady, but a very hard grader). Anyway, being me, I chose the topic "Can controlling guns...

Hello all, I was considering getting a Cetme .308 as my next rifle but think I may have hit a potential roadblock. See, I live in MD and I am not yet 21 so I was wondering if the Cetme is considered a regulated firearm. I know a list was posted on here before but seeing as how the search...

Hello all, seeing as how I dont have the funds for an AR, I was thinking about getting one of those .308 HK CETME rifles that are on gunbroker for about $350. Now my question is, are these rifles any good? Im really pondering whether these rifles perform as well as they look do to there...

Well, we all knew that further restrictions on gun owners were going to come sooner or later due to the recent "sniper" attacks, and those restrictions are already here. I was shocked as I watched the fox 5 news and I saw that our great mayor has decided that all outdoor shooting of weapons...

Ok, since the AR's that I so love are a little (read: WAY!!!!) out of my price league, I am thinking about going with Kel-tec's little carbine. I am hoping to get to handle one at the local shop but that is not a guarantee, so I have a couple of questions before I go and get one. My first...

Hello all, I just found out that an 18 year old can legally purchase an HBAR ar in Maryland. This is great news to me as I have been itching for an AR but thought that I would have to wait until I was 21 as it is a regulated firearm in "The Free State" (my fanny). Anyway, I was just wondering...

Hello all, I am 18 and I was wondering if there is any way posibble for me to obtain an AR type rifle (looking hard at ar180b and m4) legally in Maryland. Since it is a "regulated" firearm here, the same rules apply to the AR's as handguns. Am I pretty much SOL? I will go through as much of a...

Hello all, I am once again really torn on what my next rifle (well, carbine) should be. My two choices are the Marlin 1894cp and the Kel-tec sub2000. Now of course, I am not looking for some heavy game hunting rifle, but a fun little gun that actually has a little more punch than my 10/22...

Hello all, I just wanted to let you that I saw something pretty nifty on american shooter this past weekend. Seems smith and wesson is extending their SW99 handgun line to include a full size .45, a more compact 9mm and I believe a compact .45 or .40. I saw all 3 guns and to tell you the truth...

Hello all, I have been recently looking very, very hard at the Marlin 1894cp. That is the little 16" ported .357/.38 mag lever action carbine. This rifle is just absolutely perfect for me. I am a small person, and the little carbine just fits me. 8 rounds of .357 mag isnt anything to scoff...

Hello, I was just wondering the legality of Weapons such as the keltec sub2000 and the Hipoint 9mm carbine in the state of Md. I am only 18 so I cant buy a handgun yet (can I?) and thought one of these carbines would be the next best thing (especially the sub2000 with its folding abilities). I...

Hello, I am an 18 year old gun enthusiast who for now has to settle with buying rifles on my own. I was looking at a couple of these more cost effective (im a poor college kid) pistol caliber carbines (like the keltec sub2000 and such) and I was wondering if anyone knew if these were considered...

Howdy all, its me again. And, as always, I have opinions to ask. As you may (or may not) know, Im in the search of my first handgun. After much consideration, I have narrowed it down to two choices: The Beretta 92fs (I like the Inox Brigadier) and the Walther P99 (in 9mm). My question to...

Just hear so many good things about cdnn investments... I want to browse, what is their websites addess? Thanks in advance, guys.

Like others, i am looking at purchasing a handgun online. I am doing this not only to get the pistol cheaper (like $150 in some cases) but to avoid (i think) some very stupid gun laws that have recently developed in Md. According to md. law, all those who decide to defend those and those they...

I know that there have been many ss vs. blued topics on this site but I was wondering the specifics on the Beretta 92fs. I just got back from a range session and i fired about 30 rds through a rented sig 239 and about 70 rds through a rented blued beretta 92fs (at an Osama Bin Laden target!!!)...

Hello all, I'm new to this forum and this is my first of probably many threads. I just wanted to get your more experienced opinions on what handgun I should get as my first. After some shooting down at the local range and some serious research on the net, I have narrowed the choices down to...
