Good but how do you prove that your 1911 never had >6 rds in it? Same with .357Sig pistols?

Meh. Specifying calibers is stupid. Give a min bullet diameter. These lists are codified pet list nonsense.

I agree, and I brought that up during committee hearings. But, calibers were already codified. We're expanding them, and working towards having legal equipment defined through administrative rulemaking (which is much faster).

It's not what it ever had in it, it's what is in it when a CO does an equipment check.

i called them and asked the specific question, with regards to hunting with AR's and they said its not the mag capacity, its jsut how many rounds you have in it. i honestly thought, wow that's pretty refreshing...

The only need to prove it (would be rangers) and that's taken care of by having (a) a 6shot cylinder (b) having snapcaps in the bottom of your mags

In Maine at least there are tons of guys hunting with Pmags which have OEM round limiters in them. Haven't seen anyone get jammed up yet.

Fill the remainder with snapcaps... you only need to prove it to the rangers

I like the cut of your jib.

.88 Magnum?

So 357 Sig will be allowed, but 454 Casull will not? Seems backward.

Instead of listing calibers they should allow a minimum bullet size, weight and muzzle energy.

Then you'll have idiots arguing that .380 is the same diameter as .357 Mag.

This makes more sense.

I agree but frankly it has to be simple enough for the average "not a gun guy" hunters to understand and apply.

Naming specific cartridges is tedious and has frustrating holes in the lineup... but maybe that could be improved?

I spoke with Rep Tim Lang last weekend and told him that calling out specific calibers leaves a lot to be desired. He said he's take another look at it.

I disagree.... .22 is a very different animal than .223...
