I am looking into getting the spec-ops barrel for the m&p pistol which is threaded. It would allow me to run a comp on the barrel or should I move to a free state a silencer. Thoughts?
 
A threaded barrel is ok, providing you don't have any other "evil" features.

(30) The term "semiautomatic assault weapon" means -

>snip<

(C) a semiautomatic pistol that has an ability to accept a
detachable magazine and has at least 2 of -

(i) an ammunition magazine that attaches to the pistol

outside of the pistol grip;

(ii) a threaded barrel capable of accepting a barrel

extender, flash suppressor, forward handgrip, or silencer;

(iii) a shroud that is attached to, or partially or

completely encircles, the barrel and that permits the shooter

to hold the firearm with the nontrigger hand without being

burned;

(iv) a manufactured weight of 50 ounces or more when the

pistol is unloaded; and

(v) a semiautomatic version of an automatic firearm;
 
Some hair-splitting:

(iii) a shroud that is attached to, or partially or

completely encircles, the barrel and that permits the shooter

to hold the firearm with the nontrigger hand without being

burned;

How many pistols have exposed barrels? Aren't they all shrouded?

(v) a semiautomatic version of an automatic firearm;

Does a Glock 17 count (semi-auto version of Glock 18)?

Have fun holding the slide as you fire the pistol without getting burned.
 
holy crap, your typical handgun is legal in MA with a threaded barrel?! that is not what i expected.
