My niece wants a glock for her birthday. I am underwriting her purchase.

Where should I recommend she shop for a glock in the College Park area?

There is a place called 2A Sales (2nd Amendment Sales) in the Jessup area, close to Laurel. It is just north of Rt 32 on US Rt 1. It's not exactly College Park, but it seems like a nice shop from the times I've been in there. The owner's name is Mark.

There's a place called The Gun Rack in Burtonsville on 198 just west of US 29, but I don't really know about their prices or service. Never stopped in.

That's all I can think of in that area. I live in Baltimore and I'm much more familiar with the shops closer to here.

Good luck!

ETA: Both of those places are within 15-20 minutes of College Park.

A couple of stores not too far are Engagement Arms in Kensington and Atlantic Guns in Silver Spring.

A dealer that is also a range where she can try out a number of glocks is On Target, also in/near Jessup like 2A Sales

She should consider joining Maryland Shooter's, an excellent community similar to this one and also MD Shall Issue if interesred in self-defense / carrying.

Thanks for your help. Incidentally I have given two other nieces glocks, two daughters glocks, and my wife a few glocks. If I had known years ago that I was going to equip a family the size of a small police force, I would have become a stocking dealer.

Appreciate the info and timely posts. My niece is out shopping as we speak.

My niece is out shopping as we speak.

It's after midnight in MD.

The previous post mentioning the time of day reminds of my former military service where, under exigent circumstances, we had midnight requisitions involving interunit forays.

another vote for Engage Armament in Kensington. Great folks, excellent prices.

You already know what you want. Find a transferring FFL at
http://www.gunbroker.com/FFL/DealerNetwork.aspx
buy from the distributor or individual and have your G19 or G23 transferred. There's no reason to pay Atlantic Guns' or Engagement Arms' prices.

You're a good uncle alright!

I bought both a NIB G29SF and a NIB Colt Delta Elite for much less than Gunbroker or Bud's from Engage. Their prices are very competitive IMO.
