Default Re: Handgun classification...

Hi Again, and thanks for all of the replies... I'd like respond to one of them. Ron stated in his post “The BATFE classifies things this way .... Everything else is "classified" by the way the trigger mechanism works”. Ron, I agree with you. I've had discussions like this around my house. But, if I had to prove to someone that a specific handgun has a specific action type or any other specification for that matter, where would I find literature to back up my statement?
I recently read an article online written by Massad Ayoob (“Can semantics get you killed,” American Handgunner, Nov-Dec, 2002). In it he even commented on the “BATF [ruling] the Glock to be double action only”.
“HiredGoon” also sent a link to “HandGunInfo.com” (good article by the way). It also quotes the BATF as saying a “Law Enforcement Agency might buy a "less safe" pistol simply because the ATF ruled it DA.
So, going back to my original question, If the BATF makes this info public, I sure would like to get a copy...
Thanks again to all...
Bill
