WOW!
Comparing a piece of crap boito to an antique handgun is not cool. Sorry but that was prolly one of the most useless posts I have read in awhile.
The original question was about non restricted handguns, not antique handguns, so I think he tried to answer in the spirit in which the question was meant. - dan

Your post was ridiculous. How is a boito hiker anywhere close to a handgun. And it is a piece of crap to boot. Your post was absolutely useless. There are plenty of other shotguns with "pistol" grips that would be better options but that is obviously not what the OP wants.
Wow, are there thing dangerous? (ie lethal? or like a nice looking BB gun
) Wonder if i can hunt lizards in my back yard with it LOLI am not talking about expensive stuff here. The post asked about a Non-Restricted handgun. There is a instructor that I know that takes a Boito backpacker, to his courses to trick people, and ask them if they can identify it as a Restricted or Non. Usually atleast half of the class fall for it, and say its so small, that it is classified as a Restricted pistol.
I know there garbage, compared to a $1000, handgun. Thats quite obvious not what I was refering to. Maybe the thread has been hijacked into something else, but I was just answering the first posted question. Wow, seriously.
If you look at a Boito, it could be compared in size to a Ruger Charger (please don't quote, because I know its not the exact same). Yes the Boito is a $150 single shotgun, no duh. But it is the closest thing to a Non-Res handgun, just because of its short barrel length. The guy I know actually made a homeade holster/quiver for a joke to hold his boito in when we go out grouse hunting.
Not that hard to figure out, from my response to the first question what I was meaning. Geuss it stumped someone though.
My first post to the question, was kind of meant to be kind of a joke, but if the thread is going to be highjacked, then maybe start a new thread because I could'nt give a crap about antique revolvers, and I would'nt of never looked at it. So seriously grow up because I am not going back and fourth about this no more. Its ridiculous, don't bother typing back because I won't check in to read it.

To expand on what 41Colt said, such a conversion does not mess up the antique status since .45ACP is not on the list of proscribed cartridges .... ironically because it is too "modern", so the brilliant folks who came up with the list of cartridge chamberings which disqualify a handgun from antique status never thought to include it.
Similarly, if you could locate a C96 Mauser semi-automatic pistol manufactured prior to January 1, 1898, it would be "antique" whether chambered for the original 7.63x25mm Mauser cartridge or modified (as many C96 pistols were) to chamber and fire 9mm Parabellum .... because neither of those cartridges were included in the list either.
On the other hand, a .455 revolver altered to chamber and fire .45 Colt (a much more venerable cartridge) is precluded from antique status because .45 Colt is on the "no-no" list ......
The "bad" chamberings are .22 Short, Long or Long Rifle rimfire, and centerfire 32 Short Colt, 32 Long Colt, 32 Smith and Wesson, 32 Smith and Wesson Long, 32-20 Winchester, 38 Smith and Wesson; 38 Short Colt, 38 Long Colt, 38-40 Winchester, 44-40 Winchester, and 45 Colt.
