legal barrel length minimum

[Delkal]

That's why no more neat little Italian 25's.

There is nice Beretta .22 (model 71?) that was imported with a fake silencer "permanently" attached. That puts it over the legal limit. But most people cut/grind it off which is legal after you get it. There are a number of videos on youtube on this.

These were supposedly used my the Mosul? agents in Israel. I handled one and it was really tempting (and cheap). The only deal breaker for me is when they attached the silencer they ground part of the front site and it didn't look right.

Revolvers - 3", semiauto - not mentioned, but overall length of 6" minimum suggests 3".

Then why do the Freedom Arms and North American Arms mini-revolvers have barrel 7/8"?

As for those Italian autos , US made Beretta .22 Bobcat and .25 Jetfire have 2.4in barrels.

The Bauer US-made copy of the Baby Browning had a 2.1in barrel.

They are not imported.

I'm sure its not practical at all but looked mean I think handgun maximum is 15 inch if you hit 16 inch it becomes sbr if I heard right others on here might know better

Sorry, but t is simple...the 2A in toto: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Some definitions for libs who attended college [aka brain laundry]:
Militia....the whole of the People, except for a few gvt officials. [Not just the 5-OH or feds or NGs]

Regulated:..equipped and trained in the use of that equipment..

Right....a thing existing b4 the country was founded, and ordained by God.*

People....the population of able-bodied CITIZENS: men and women, [non-incarcerated]...*

ARMS....the various weapons 'hand-carried' by the average 18 yr old soldier of the Army. [Pistols, rifles, including the M4 rifle or the M14 rifle and equivalent. Yes, including light machine guns! Not nukes, not armed naval ships or jet fighters. 'Hand carried' is the key phase. See, the laws prohibiting guns for folks under 21 are..unconstitutional too.

Infringed..abrogated, lessened, prohibited. Rules about "barrel length" and NFA cra[p rules are there4 unconstitutional as well.

Keep....Buy and OWN

Bear....Carry and shoot, concealed or openly..in defense of country, city, family, self and kin.*

The SOCUS can easily interpret various laws as they come b4 it..IF they do not meet the above 2A rules, they are UNconstitutional at the outset. Simple.*
We have ~~22,000+ "gun laws" in the USA...most are already UNconstitutional and should be null and void. And, yes, the RIGHTS should apply to folks who have been to prison and completed their sentences and their parole requirements..

Here is the point system for importing "pistols" and "revolvers".

I disagree with your idea that the list of arms is not all inclusive.
