Great, then when we get 12-6 recinded, we can chop the barrel back to its original length.

You don't get up that early in the morning my friend.

I just attempted (Jun '08) to export an original German PPK and a Manurhin PPK to Michigan and was denied based on GCA '68 regs (cited by BICE/US Customs). If there is a way around this I'd like to know what it is. I'm not sure that anything has changed in the past 4 months.
I embarrass myself fairly regularly - not every day, but regularly. There's usually no need to get up early to do that...

Surprise!.... Some US Customs agents aren't keeping current on laws & policies
A lot of the US Customs bureaucrats & officials who make these decisions do not know the current law and are still stuck on the old REPEALED Clinton ban on "assault weapons & Saturday Night Specials (75 point system)" criteria & think that they still apply & are too lazy to check their sources. It's easier to stamp REFUSED on the application & go back to reading his/her pocket novel.
It's like the half of the Canadian CBSA & Customs officials who keep telling me & other importers that it is illegal to import or possess hollow point handgun ammo in Canada & again who are too lazy to check their sources. I just take it one level higher & its cleared up.
Imagine........a lazy civil servant........they're about as rare as fish with scales or sh!t that stinks.

Excuse my ignorance
I kind of keep my ear to the ground for rumors on impending legislation & policy changes on both sides of the 49th parallell.
Who is going to do that?...................& when??.......................& how??
The CPC?
Do tell.......I like to be pleasantly surprised...........most of the gun law related surprises during the last 2 decades have been unpleasant ones.
With Obama a handshake & an oath away from the US Presidency I don't expect that trend to change anytime soon.

My PPK has been reclassified to RESTRICTED due to the 107mm barrel.
If you want a orginal size 12-6, you need a close relative who has 12-6 class to transfer you a 12-6. This then becomes a 12-7 which you may possess. It does NOT give you 12-6 priviledges to acquire other 12-6's.
Hopefully, one day, we can get the 12-6 crap repealed.
Re discussion about the power of a 380 vs. a 38 snubbie.
Some 380 pistols are blowback actions; others lock up like a 9mm. The latter can be loaded a little hotter.
I load my blowbacks to 900 fps and my lock ups to 1000.
