    Early on you could have a flash hider installed/permanently and get around the restricted BS but that changed .Didn't matter if it was welded on.

    I had one of those and sold it on the EE, had to take it back and then back to the person who sold it to me as non restricted. Pretty sure there are still lots of them out there.

    I remember clearly that the rationale was that it was the Montreal bank robbers’ weapon of choice...

    Nice little gun to complement the ruger blackhawk. Like they say the mags seem to be the most problems for it. Would have liked to have the m2 but was to late to get one.
