UGH...so I can't get the gun I want in MA.

[MrMatt]

I believe you cannot get any type of Springfield in MA, as the company refuses to submit its firearms to MA's hilarious clusterfuck of firearms regulations, which is to say, two independent lists, one of which is left up to the state AG (aka Martha Coakley).

bingo. They said they won't because the laws are incredibly vague.

Liberals are scared of you, that's why.

 

[SarcasticDwarf]

Would a Taurus Judge be allowed? That out to piss people off.

Yep. It also keeps the specialty manufacturers (Nighthawk, Les Baer, Wilson, etc) out, because of the cost of sending in three firearms for destruction and the testing. Nanny state bullshit.

 

[911paramedic]

Seriously. It's a handgun. Why would some handguns be allowed and this one not?

As a side note, the XDM is a nice gun.

I was just on the SIG site and noticed this very thing. Scroll to the bottom of the following page (click pic) and you will see that it is not CA or MA compliant for some reason. (probably mag capacity or some shit like that)

EDIT: click the specification tab when you reach the site

That blows, that thing looks sexy.

You could always spend 2k on a Mark 23 .45 ACP (They are preffered Handgun of US Navy SEALs if i may add to that)

H&K has a great selection of handguns, i'm sure you can find one to fit your likings. They are more expensive though...

 

[RavenSEAL]

Colt is always an option too.

Looks like it is not on the safe handgun list for MA.

In CA, it is somehow classified as a short barreled shotgun which makes it illegal.

 

[RavenSEAL]

Disregard my post, H&K isn't sold in mass. God dang it that state sucks...

Another reason to not move to Mass. unless I have to.

do you have a list you can link me to?

 

[RavenSEAL]

Pretty much, these are all the guns you can buy in Mass.

Might as well drop by their store, i'm sure they can help you find something that resembles the one you want, doubt you'll lose anything giving it a shot, maybe some gas?

Get a revolver. Safe, simple and accurate.

Aren't you the guy who is like $300k in debt? Why are you buying an expensive gun if you don't have any money?

He basically posts a new problem in his life at least once a week. None of it's true of course. He just wants the attention.

 

[KeithTalent]

Seems like the last thing you need and somehow I think the entire world is better off.

[BoomerD]

How do you think he's looking to get out of debt? Think big picture, folks.

If that was the case, why buy a legal and registered handgun? The black-market exists for supplying folks in lines of work of "questionable legality."

I haven't bought weapons in a long time, but I'm sure every city/town has its "unlicensed gun dealers" that shouldn't be TOO difficult to find.


BTW, would the law prevent you from buying one from a private party in a different state?

yes, the legality of the magazine wouldn't change, but availability would be greater.

If this is true...then I assume the intent is obvious, no?

:hmm:

 

[JEDI]

I'm getting my permit, and posted a thread about it before. I had even picked out the gun I wanted; Springfield XDM 4.5" 9MM......I was talking to my friend who clued me in that they're not legal in this fucking commie pinko state. UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE

cheaper alternative:
get a glock 19 w/nite sights... $425

 

[slayer202]

those crazy lawmakers. its like they think guns aren't supposed to be toys...idiots

It is chambered to accept .45 Long Colt or .410 shotshell.
