Before you ask, yes I used the Search function and found several different conflicting answers.
I have a Sig 226 DAK listed for trade here and on Armslist. I own two of these now, am keeping one and trading off the other. A fellow who saw my ad on Armslist seemed interested until he heard from Four Seasons that that was a "Law enforcement only" gun.
I said "Huh?" It's on the AG list...
Apparently that OTHER list makes it a LEO only gun according to Four Seasons. This is from their web page:
A question that we get regularly: ARE SIG DAK PISTOLS LEGAL TO SELL IN MA? They are on the APPROVED ROSTER LIST.
Answer: No, they are not legal to sell in MA. We have 2 sets of rules that we must follow. The state LAWS (see Approved Roster List) and the state REGULATIONS. Under the state laws the DAK is legal. However, the state's consumer protection regulations require that a double action handgun have a trigger pull of at least 10 lbs. in double action mode. The DAK's trigger pull is 6.5 lbs.
So does this mean that FFLs won't or aren't supposed to transfer them? Because two different local dealers have now transferred these to me with no issues...
Obviously I understand that this isn't on the owner of the firearm but on the dealer, and their house, their rules. I'm just trying to figure out if I'm going to have a hard time transferring this to another person or if I should just wait until January so I can do a personal transfer...or wait, will that not work then either because of the new law?
Thanks.
