Any interest in my 5906 I have an ad out for?

Sorry but no thanks.

I think the strap hanger is a cool add on. It reminds me of the SMG version. But it MIGHT be an illegal mod. I know it's illegal to add vertical foregrips to handguns. But I'm not sure if this Cobray strap qualifies as the same. Either way I would probably remove it until you know for certain.

THe strap isn't for shooting.
It's for carrying! (wink, nudge)



..

Anyhow, the best way to shoot these is to screw on some kind of barrel accessory that you can wrap your hand around. A barrel shroud or barrel extension, or maybe a fake suppressor. It only has to be about 4" long to give you a decent grip and keep your fingers away from the muzzle.

Q: Open bolt?

A:

we wish

1982 was the year that ATF ruled that all open-bolt, fixed firing pin, paramilitary style handguns were "machine guns" because they were too easy to convert to fully automatic.

So the OP's 1986 semi-auto pistol would have to be a closed-bolt design.

But, ATF grandfathered-in all the ones that were already produced and put into the distribution channels for ordinary Americans to own as of that date. Newly-built ones would have to be considered NFA -restricted MG's.

(Too bad more people didn't buy them and register them as SMG's between 1982 and 1986. For $100 for the gun and $200 for the tax, you'd have a $300 investment on a weapon that would be worth $5000 or better now.)

So the OP's 1986 semi-auto pistol would have to be a closed-bolt design.
