I’m trying to plan a bachelor trip for me and my buddies for end of next may. I have been to Daufuskie Island a few times back in like 06-08 and it was a pretty cool experience ( my fam likes quiet places and fishing so this was perfect for us ). However, me and my buddies are quite into golfing now. I remember there being a few course on Daufuskie but have heard rumors of places there going bankrupt???? If anyone knows anything about the condition of this island these days, any input would be greatly appreciated!!!

What’s y’all’s go to site for bulk 9mm ammo???

I’ve been in the market for a handgun for about a month or so. There are some killer deals online ( ie. sportsmanswarehouse) on the pistol I want, however, majority are not MD compliant due to mag capacity. Are there any online sites that will plug a magazine to make it Md compliant like most in-state dealers do? Or is it possible to have it shipped to an FFL and they can adjust the mag capacity?

Thanks!

Currently in the market for my first handgun. Been shooting rifles and shotguns all of my life so I’m green when it comes to the world of pistols. I’ve only ever shot a Glock ( which i don’t think is for me ) and a Smith and Wesson ( can’t remember the model ). Out of the multiple handguns I’ve handled at various local gun shops, the Springfield Echelon and Ruger RXM both felt great in my hand. The echelon definitely had the edge over the RXM in terms of “ feel”. I’m planning to hit the range and rent both of these to see if shooting them helps me make my decision between the two.

However, as a beginner, I’m overthinking this wholeee process. At the same time, I’ve been loving this process. I like hearing other’s thoughts on the matter before diving head first into something I’m not familiar with. I’m STRONGLY leaning towards my first handgun to be the full size Echelon. However, the modularity of the RXM is sticking out to me. I want something I can take to the range, grow into, last a have long time, and eventually get into doing drills.

To get to the point of this post, I’d love to hear y’all’s opinions on these handguns. At the same time, any advice or alternate options you may have to offer will be greatly appreciated!!

To preface prior to receiving some responses. I am local to MD. Our lovely governor is enforcing the striker fire pistol ban Jan 1st of next year- which has put a fire under my ass to finally get my HQL. I’ve handled ( not shot ) the p365, Echelon, PDP, M&P, Cz P10, and a few other lesser named brands. I have bigger hands so some of the trigger guards on most of the others weren’t the right fit for me.
