M&P prohibited?

[baryon]

Hi,

I measured the barrel on my M&P .40 and it is only 103mm end to end. Isn't it supposed to be greater than 105mm? Does the CFC doesn't care about a few mm's anymore?

If it is the case, there are lot of pistols that have a barrel around 100mm that I am interested in. e.g. Ruger P95

Shhhhh. Don't tell anyone!

The measurement is taken by a rod in contact with the breech face to the end of the barrel. As long as there is some measureable part beyond 105mm you're kosher.

I hesitated a lot to post But decided to ask anyway.

Well, nothing good can come from that post.

I have an M&P in 9mm and it is just over 105mm, I think you might want to remeasure properly.

If it's true all you guys and gals who bought M&P's should get 12(6) status!

As above, the RCMP measure the barrel length by inserting a rod down the barrel until it contacts the breach face, then marking the rod at the crown and measuring. Your barrel is at least 106mm.

 

[baryon]

Yes. You are right. If I measure by using a rod it is more than 105mm. Initially I measured just the barrel. I think I am more strict than RCMP

I have an M&P40. Barrel is 4.25" EXACTLY or 107.95mm.

You have to measure form the highest part on the top of the barrel (looks like a "v" notch).
