tac,

Just thought of something while looking at your photos, and that rod extension attached to the Redhawk grip frame.

Here in the States a shotgun or rifle has to have minimum 18" or 16" barrel respectively, and cannot be shorter than 26" overall. A modern hand gun cannot have a butt stock, unless the barrel is at least 16", and the whole firearm is at least 26" overall with stock attached.

If we here in the U.S. were to attach the G.B. required extension to a handgun. It could be construed as an attempt at attaching an illegal butt stock to a handgun. Whereas, over there, it is illegal not to have the extension.

This kind of says it all... gun laws can only be created and invoked by people who have their heads firmly imbedded in their a$$.
