Guns that you cannot buy in Massachusetts

We are constantly asked "Can I buy a new (Manufacturer's name/ model) in this state?"

Here is just a PARTIAL listing of new firearms that licensed
Massachusetts residents CANNOT purchase from a dealer in this state
because they do not comply with the MA Consumer Protection
regulations and/or the 1998 Gun Control laws.

Handguns must meet the requirement of BOTH the 1998 Gun Control LAWS and
940 CMR Consumer Protection regulations. Some handguns are legal to sell under the regs only
and some only under the laws. They must comply with BOTH to be legal to sell.

If you have any questions regarding the future availability of the items listed
below in MA compliant configuration, please contact the manufacturers
directly since we don't know what their plans are.

For a link to the MA AG's site concerning these regulations please visit our REGULATIONS page.

For specific legal questions regarding the Consumer Protection regulations please call the
Office of the Attorney General in Boston. We are not qualified to answer questions regarding
the interpretation of these regs and laws.

The folks at Magnum Research have emphatically told us that they don't plan on ever
submitting their handguns for MA certification. Why not Doug? We have lots of customers who would appreciate the fine quality of your handguns.

Therefore, you will never be able to buy a new Desert Eagle or any of their
other fine firearms in this state! It's too bad because Magnum Research has always been know for offering nothing but high quality products.

On May 12th, 2005 (or was it 2004?) Glock announced that they are going to offer MA compliant models. On or about June 30th, new Glock pistols were removed from the MA market due to a difference of opinion between Glock and the MA Attorney General's office over the loaded chamber indicator. News releases from the A.G.'s office are on the Glock page..

H�mmerli Model SP20 .22LR Target Pistol
These are illegal in MA because they are not on the APPROVED ROSTER LIST. Before "The List" came out we could sell them under the Consumer Protection Regulations "solely for competition use only" exemption.

For the highest level of shooting precision, we offer the revolutionary H�mmerli� ModelSP20 Target Pistol. The new SP20 competition target pistol dramatically demonstrates Hammerli's unique approach to continuing design innovation. Features like an extremely low bore axis, micrometer sights, adjustable recoil system, and anatomically-shaped grips in a world-class target pistol that can be fully customized by adjusting weights, grips and sights. Available (usually) in black, blue, red and violet.

PARDINI .22LR Olympic Grade COMPETITION PISTOLS

1-10 years in a Mass. Corrections Institution for selling one of these now because they were not certified by a testing lab and not on the Approved Roster List.

Oh....and a $1,000 to $10,000 fine!

Most Ruger Semi-auto center-fire pistols are illegal to sell in Massachusetts. However, most of their REVOLVERS were certified for sale March 2002.

As of December 2004 the new MKIII 5.5" .22LR target pistols are available for sale in MA as well as the KP345PR .45 acp.

Thank you Ruger!

CZ 75B pistols. Even though they are pre-98 and have several safety features we can't sell them because they weren't tested and certified.

For a list of authorized test labs, go to:
http://www.mafseminars.com/MA%20Sales.htm

Springfield Armory handguns will not be available in Massachusetts. The factory has said..."WE HAVE NO INTENTION OF GOING THROUGH THE MASSACHUSETTS CERTIFICATION PROCESS because the laws and regulations are not clear".

As you know, we can sell the Seecamp .32 acp pistols.

The .380 is not available here in MA yet but Larry Seecamp is a very nice person and has told us that he will submit them for MA certification as soon as he can catch up with his backorders around the country.

Thanks Larry!

LES BAER 1911 PREMIER II 5" MODEL $1600
Les Baer's Premier II has become the industry standard to which all other factory or custom built 1911s are compared. The 5" long Government Model (pictured above) is the best single stack competition pistol you'll find in America -- the best quality, the best value and the best performance. No wonder so many of them show up at IPSC Limited Class amd competitive target matches. The Premier II� is even guaranteed to shoot 3" groups at 50 yards! We've sold so many in the USA and abroad, the Premier II� has become the flagship of our line. It performs like a million bucks but it costs a whole lot less. For tech specs click here: Premier Il Specs

LES, PLEASE SEND 5 PREMIER II's TO A TEST LAB. FOUR SEASONS WILL SPLIT THE COST WITH YOU! WE HAVE MANY CUSTOMERS WHO WANT TO BUY PURCHASE WHAT WE CONSIDER TO BE THE BEST 1911 STLYE PISTOL AVAILABLE. WE WOULD BOTH RECOUP THE COST OF TESTING IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.THE GUN BUSINESS IS ALIVE AND WELL IN MASSACHUSETTS.

The CONCEPT V is the same as above except in all stainless. $1700

Please keep in mind that these are TRUE CUSTOM GUNS that are built to order. Les has decided to keep his low production to maintain the quality control that makes these one of the best in the world. They are well worth the wait!

The new Les Baer Custom Thunder Ranch 1911. $1599

Les Baer custom builds his 1911s entirely in his own state-of-the art facility in the USA, and he builds them from his own forged frames and slides that are heat treated for toughness and hand assembled for a perfect fit. Baer builds 1911s with a well earned reputation for uncompromising quality and unerring accuracy, but they're all realistically priced so they deliver outstanding value.

So, Clint Smith specified the features he wanted and Les Baer built it. Then Les engraved the Thunder Ranch logo on the slide, and gave each pistol a special serial number with

Les Baer Premier II, LBC sights, tactical package, extended safety, 1 1/2" groups at 50 yds.The 1 1/2" accuracy guarantee makes this THE ULTIMATE competitive target pistol.Our price was: $1688

NOT FOR SALE IN MASSACHUSETTS

Any KAHR ARMS pistols?

Negative. They pass the Chapter 180 law requirements (The are on the Approved Roster List) but do not fulfill the MA Attorney General's Consumer Protection regulations.

SPRINGFIELD ARMORY.

Even though this pistol has extra safeties, a loaded round indicator, many other safety features that would make this MA compliant....the factory has told us that they have no intention of certifying any of their guns for sale in MA.

The arrogant tone of the Springfield Armory representative that I spoke with on the phone may as well said to me... "We can't be bothered with your state". Maybe I'm being a little over-sensitive but that's what if felt like.

We don't like Taurus products due to terrible customer service experiences that we've had. However, it doesn't matter since we can't sell them anyway.		Wilson Custom Firearms These folks have told us that they "Don't want anything to do with Massachusetts sales" since they don't understand the regs and laws and "don't want any potential legal problems. We don't need the aggravation" END QUOTE
When we could sell them, these were purchased by many law enforcement personnel as back-ups.		Uberti Firearms . These people won't ship ANY firearm, handgun OR long gun to Mass. since they "don't want anything to do with Massachusetts sales regardless of what the product it" even though the their long guns are legal to sell here. The reason for this is that the laws and regs are confusing.
