A rifle barrel can't be under 16", so does that mean a pistol barrel can't be over 16"?

Best to check your local/state as some do restrict lenght for a pistol, New York comes to mind right off as one.


Rod, too.

Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

is there anything NY doesn't have stupid restrictions on when it comes to guns?

s4s4u is right NY does not allow a handgun with a barrel over 16" in lenght.

Also remember that once the overall length of the pistol is 26" it meets the definition of a rifle. It's just a pistol gripped rifle. That also can be illeagle in some states.
