What's the smallest 5+ shot pistol that's only restricted?

Take it to a gunsmith and get it re-verified. This was a common error when they were trying to ban as many guns as they could. There's a good chance the measurement was done improperly, it has to be done from the breech face with the slide forward, to the last rifled groove. There were lots of P7's that were stuck with prohib status because of that. If it's your only 12.6 buy another before you get it re-registered. It only needs to be 105.x to be non-prohib. A lot of technical genius types during the change over were removing the slide and dropping a caliper on the barrel (especially with the P7) which doesn't take into account the gap for the base of the cartridge.

THIS!!!
The term "pistol" predates the development of semi automatic handguns, so the word is therefore not their sole domain.

It's only "not worth it" if you don't have one. Trust me - the PSP is VERY worth it...

It's funny but I've never met any one who's owned a P7 that said it wasn't worth it

Smallest, restricted only pistol
From what I've seen, in a .22, it's the new Browning 1911 - .22
In a .45 or a 9mm, it's a Commander model, made by various, even Norinco.
In a revolver of a calibre greater than a .22, I'm not sure, but obviously it's going to anything longer than, what, 4.25 inches?

this little savage 1910 is both prohib and non. the one in .380 is restricted the one in .32 is prohinb
I beg to differ but all those little savages (with original barrels) have barrels under 4" (I can't remember exactly, but I believe it's 3 7/8" or there abouts)
Saw one last week, thought it was a Llama from ~20ft away. Man, was it ever tiny..!

mines a prohib, never seen one that wasn't.
If you go P7/M13 9 mm you get 10 shots, 13 if you feed it with M13/40cal mags
I have small hands and one of the reasons I consider my P7 (M8) so outstanding is that the grip actually fits my hand. If you have "average" to small hands, I think you'll find the fit of the P7 very good. The problem will be the handling. It's unlike any other self-loader in the way it is cocked. It's compact and very accurate. I like it, but there are many who do not. Best look at one if you can, before buying.
