Any firearm with a barrel of 4 inches or less is considered prohibited. Class 12.6. Any firearm over 4 inchs is considered restricted. All handguns are only allowed to the range and back for use. No carry allowed.
Any 12.6 made prior to 1946 is allowed to be passed down to a close and direct family member where it becomes a 12.7 as long as they have an RPAL licence. Any 12.6 that was made in 1946 or later can be sold/given only to another 12.6 licence holder. Eventually there will only be one person who will be allowed to own all of these pistols.
Many Lugers here in Canada have the barrel changed to a 4.5 inch barrel to change their classification from 12.6 prohib to restricted status, thus being able to be sold to a larger group of people. An angel has its wings ripped off every time this happens.
Saying that I have a few 4.5 inch barrels.kicking around in case I run into a frame only Luger. To the untrained eye, most people don't even notice the difference.
Do you have a picture of the 6 inch Luger?
