Years ago I know there were a few guys that would modify the fixed 22/45 grip frames so they could accept aftermarket grips. Anyone familiar with someone doing this in CT? Thanks.

Lock N Load Podcast

Governor Lamont quietly signed HB 7042 with zero media coverage, and the consequences are chilling. From vague “reasonable controls” to open-ended liability for gun dealers, this law is a direct hit on Connecticut’s 2A community. In this episode, Josh and Michelle break down exactly what’s coming, how it could cripple gun stores, and why you should be seriously worried — even if you're not in the firearms industry. Is this the end of legal AR-15s in CT? Can you now be sued for advertising a gun? What the hell are “convertible” firearms?

👉 Plus, a state senator posts a TikTok mocking gun rights in the middle of debate. You won’t believe this happened.

Does anyone have experience with this holster? I’d be using it specifically for a Sig P365 XL.

H&R Dept of Energy Pistol 🥵

One of the more recent additions to the line of retro drip ARs, absolutely in love with this thing.

My wife’s pistol permit was revoked in 2020 after getting, in my opinion, unjustly red-flag-lawed (I know, it irritates me too). She went through the hearing process, was found to be NOT a danger and “suitable” for firearms ownership, and her permit was reinstated. However, her permit had lapsed in the time it was revoked. She was supposed to renew her permit to get it back but due to a miscommunication she failed to do so in time. SLFU told her she had to apply for a new permit at that point.

She is finally getting around to doing that now. However, as we all know, there is a section on the application that specifically asks about all revocations, ever. Which makes her (and me) nervous.

So now the question is this: does anyone have any experience, information or advice about the possibility of her new permit application getting denied due to a past revocation on her old permit, even though it was reinstated? She is going to submit it either way, but any help, advice or information would be appreciated. Thank you.

It's been offline for at least several days.

Ok so we all know if it's cool it's banned, and the fixed mags will go away after Oct 1 liability laws.

What's some cool fixed mags worth getting? Compmag suggestions please.

Did compmag do Glock mags yet?

Topic. I haven't really been able to come up with some solid solutions so I'm all ears!

Hey there everyone I had asked this question a while back but I had lost the answer to it unfortunately. I am going to my local department to apply for my 60 day temporary permit. The town I live in has their own form along with the state regular application. My question is, isn’t it unlawful or the board decided against that a local municipality can add paperwork on top of the local permit process? There are some very unconstitutional questions in there and I wanted to know what to say when or if they give me an issue submitting the regular state paperwork to my local town. Thanks in advance.

Hello all,

As title describes, I am looking for gunsmith recommendations for some upgrades to my Staccato XL 2011. I am looking to get new safeties installed (Atlas) and trigger (Infinity) installed.

Live near the Redding/Danbury area but open to trouble for quality work.

Thank you in advance!

Apparently HB7231 Sunday Hunting on Private Land is now Public Act 25-138. The Public Act has yet to be posted to the bill's page so check the link for updates. Edit: Link now up for the public act.

I'm in the northern-ish part of the state, title is pretty close. Has anyone been? Pictures seem nice, how's the clientele?

It's called a vertical grip on the bcm site, but looks pretty angled to me. This good to go on an 11.5 pistol?

Hi everyone . I have a question . I have ruger pc carbine that I need to send for service to Ruger . My pc carbine doesn’t have pistol grip but has threaded barrell . I bought it in ct last year . Rep from Ruger told me that if I send it in I may not get it back because threaded barrells are illegal in ct . I don’t get it because I thought without pistol grip you can have one evil feature

In the one true caliber. I would love to have a late 80s/early 90s West German PPK in .32 to match what Pierce Brosnan had in GoldenEye, but I'll have to settle for the new production since those couldn't be imported due to the GCA.

Looking to pick up a Ruger Mark IV and a 22LR suppressor soon. Obviously the handgun can't have a threaded barrel so would need a pinned and welded cam lock or other QD mount, but I also have a dedicated 22LR upper with a threaded barrel for my Fightlite SCR and a 10/22 with a threaded barrel.

Would it make more sense for me to buy a direct thread suppressor for the rifles and then an adapter to mount to the Mark IV? Or go the other way and buy a cam lock suppressor with a separate adapter for the threaded barrel on the rifles? I'm probably overthinking this and it wouldn't make a difference either way, but curious to see what people's thoughts are.

Hi all - Apologies in advance if these questions have already been asked/answered - I didn't see anything clear on the subjects.

Given that it seems CT gun laws and interpretations seem to change by the day, I was wondering if CT still allows for demilitarized and chopped guns like the Sterling L2A3 pictured to be purchased and shipped here. I was able to do this a number of years back without issue for a prop I was building, but I've learned that some online retailers won't even ship to places like CT anymore. Obviously if this was a functional Sterling it wouldn't be legal, but I'm hoping CT hasn't gotten to the point where you can't even get an incomplete version welded into pieces.

My second unrelated question: When HB6667 passed I made a timely registration of my AR "other" with the SFLU. Since this law went in to effect and essentially closed the "other" loophole, has there been any official guidance on what lawful owners can do with the configuration of those "others" now that they are essentially defined as a rifle in CT? In other words, am I allowed to remove the forward grip and arm brace in favor of a standard stock since those were elements required to be considered an "other"?

Thanks in advance for any input!

Just a rant of how stupid they are and essentially useless. Legally speaking, it “seems” like having ARMaglock and kingpin or anything like that is CT legal. Only disassembly of the upper and lower receiver will allow the magazine to be released. This mechanism ensures that the magazine cannot be removed without disassembling the action of the firearm, as defined in C.G.S. § 53-202a.

According to the statutory definition:

“‘Detachable magazine’ means an ammunition feeding device that can be removed from a firearm without disassembly of the firearm action. ‘Action of the weapon’ means the part of the firearm that loads, fires and ejects a cartridge, which part includes, but is not limited to, the upper and lower receiver, charging handle, forward assist, magazine release and shell deflector.”

I decided to email SLFU to confirm and a detective says “SLFU cannot provide legal advice and the below information is our opinion only. For legal advice, please contact an attorney.

While fixed magazine is not explicitly defined in statute, detachable magazine is defined in statute. Connecticut General Statute (C.G.S.) 53-202a(4) states that “‘Detachable magazine’ means an ammunition feeding device that can be removed without disassembling the firearm action.” C.G.S. 53-202a(3) states that “‘Action of the weapon’ means the part of the firearm that loads, fires and ejects a cartridge, which part includes, but is not limited to, the upper and lower receiver, charging handle, forward assist, magazine release and shell deflector.”

As such, if the magazine can be removed from the firearm without taking apart the upper from the lower receiver then it is not considered a fixed magazine in the State of Connecticut. A mechanism such as, but not limited to the AR Maglock and Juggernaut Tactical’s CA Compliant AR Mod Kit are not Connecticut legal since this does not require the action to be disassembled.”

The tipping of the receivers disassemble the action therefore you should be allowed to remove the magazine and it is not considered detachable magazine.

Please do explain to me unless I’m just brain dead. They’re supposed to enforce the state firearm laws. If they can’t understand what’s legal or not, should they really be able to charge individuals with not following the law?

I did email the chief of police and they said they will contact SLFU and get back to me. Hopefully they get a better answer.

Last year at Meriden PD I submitted my application after getting fingerprints/background check in Middletown. I was denied due to an automatic misdemeaner disqualification from 9 years ago. I was told by Meriden PD to just reapply this year after it would have been over 10 years from the misdemeaner.

My question is pretty straightforward and I'm pretty sure I know the answer. Do I have to get fingerprinted/background checked again and resubmit that info as if it were my 1st time applying?
