    Shouldn’t be used on range you mean. It could be used. Ranges are signed of for pistol cal….
    Where does it say that it can’t be used?

    I'm going to assume that your question is rhetorical

    The answer is obvious - the answer is because it is illegal to use on pistol ranges

    the question I would ask you is - if this piece of government hypocrisy is so dear to your heart, are you willing to fund a campaign to overturn this rule even if it cost you, say, the average house price?
    We were all saying that the rules are stupid when the difference between an E cat and an A cat was simply a Hi-cap mag that you could buy with no qualification at all

    Put it another way - the world is stupid, do you need a band aid for your head?


    Also note- a provocative first post makes me suspicious

    2019 Arms amendment introduced a maximum length for a semi-automatic pistol, to quash this exact idea. Cant remember the exact measurement, but pretty much anything bigger than a desert eagle is no go. Revolvers and single shots may of course be longer.

    400 mm I believe. The above would fit within that measurement.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
