is the whole line of 1911s from SA approved this year in MA, or just the vanilla one????

SA?  As in Springfield Armory?  I haven't heard anything about their 1911s being MA-Compliant.  Last update of "the list" shows no Springfield Armory guns on it.

Do you know something the rest of us don't?  I hope so as I'd love to get one of the SA "Mil-Spec" 1911s.

I know the first one listed on the website is OK, most of the local shops have at least one, but i too want a Mil spec 1911, and wasnt sure if they were G2G....

Eh? This is news to me too. Which "local shops" have one? I'd like to go see one.

Sorry, but Springfield Armory isn't on the "List". See the following URL for the latest "List" (12/03):
www.state.ma.us/eops/publications/approved_roster.pdf

In addition, it would have to meet the AG's Regs which would be extremely unlikely for a genuine 1911 clone!

It's my understanding that most if not all other mfrs (that aren't already on the "List") have "kissed off" our asshole AG and the dumbass law and decided not to bother getting blessed for sales in MA.

Your only hope is to either:
- Move out of PRM, or
- Find someone who moved into MA with one and wants to sell it privately (between MA residents only).

Good luck, you're going to need it!

Only "new" 1911s I've seen for sale in MA are the Smith & Wesson 1911s.

And there's a pretty good chance that the new SigArms 1911 will be available in a MA-compliant model eventually as well.

Good luck! Is Uphams Fields Corner still a "target rich environment"? I've been told that it's been cleaned up a lot, but I haven't been in that area in probably 20+ years.

[edited: sorry, I wrote the "wrong corner".]

I asked him if I should be wearing RBA or not, he said it (Fields Corner)has the highest mugging rate in the state.  Cant wait.

If your LTC will allow you to, CCW and make sure that you don't have both arms full!

Over the years I've heard stories about shooters exiting the club and being mugged for their guns! Since Boston doesn't issue many unrestricted LTCs (they disallow CCW usually), it is a "rich environment" to steal guns without much fear of getting shot.
