Default Pre-Ban, semiautomatic, short barreled, pistol-gripped assault weapon!



1955 5" 357 Magnum

Will empty the magazine as fast as I can pull the trigger.
Overall length less than 26 inches
Pistol grip
Substantial lug under barrel
Adjustable sights
More powerful than the M9 issued to U.S. Military in Afghanistan
Holds in excess of 5 rounds
Speed loader compatible
Same blue finish used on Thompson submachinegun
Direct lineal descendant of General Patton's WWII sidearm
Barrel less than 16 inches
Accurate out to 100 yards
Capable of firing hollow point bullets
Concealable
Has the dreaded Tyler T-grip
Military style checkering

Thank Goodness no bayonet lug, otherwise this would probably be banned and I would be in heap big trouble.

Thumbs up

bushmaster, Very humerous, and insightful, post. I'd never thought of it that way, and didn't realize that my similar 27-2 might be considered an assault weapon of immense destructive power....

Don't be silly and alarmist, it's not an assault weapon because it has the target grips.
Although the cutout on the left stock does put you on very thin ice.

But please, I implore you on behalf of our fellow members of this august Forum,
Do not tell those who are writing the new ban what the cutout is for.
If they find out they might use their influence to push for a "target grip cutout ban"
Taking a router to your grips will be a felony.
The world will be divided into pre-ban and post-ban target grips.
Sawdust on your shoes will be probable cause for a search warrant.
Letters from Mr. Jinks will need to be notarized to establish grandfathered pre-ban cutout dates.
Revolver owners with non-arthritic trigger fingers will be sent to re-education centers without due process.
The hardcore anti-gunners will push to have the "List" include Magna grips and the short pre-war stocks
The cascade of horrible possibilities is too much for my small mind to handle.

I don't drink.
Well, at least not much.
But if I did, it would be time for some Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey.
Is that still legal?

Very funny
I can aim with a revolver because I can stretch my arms far enough out to be able to see the sights.
If it had a shoulder stock, the sights would be so close that I could not see them!

If Feinstein AWB miraculously becomes law, revolvers will become very popular again. I don't think her bill will get serious consideration, but then too I never thought Obama would win reelection,

Oh my gosh. 3 1/2 inch version.
You are really in trouble.
Report to the reeducation center immediately.
