Fake silencer

[Blue]

If I wanted to send my P22CA out somewhere and have that stupid thread ring removed, and somesort of fake silencer silversoldered or other permanent way of attatching it, it'd still be illegal because it'd probably be considered a barrel shroud of somesort right?

Wouldn't a fake silencer be the equivilent of just an extra long barrel?

And just a question.... The fake supressor would have to be permanently attached...

I don't know much about the p22... but would you still be able to disassemble it with a fake silencer attached to the barrel?

I know it'd have to be permanently attached, but you're right. Screw it.

On this topic...does anyone know if S&W is still offering that "fix it for free" thing on the P22? My uncle has a P22 and he is moving from AZ to CA in May. I wanted to check on that for him. If not, can it be altered by end user for compliance?

it might be considered a way to use the pistol with two hands. gray area.

LOL that reminds me of a guy who used two hands to shoot a Ruger MKIII. One hand on the grip and the other..... on the barrell

eta- caught him before he got a shot off.

Pardon me, but I thought all CA owners of P22s with threaded barrels have already been threatened by CA-DOJ to get the mandated 'repair' done?

Or am I thinking of another arm?

At this point I doubt S&W would do it... but it doesn't cost anything to call their 800 number and ask.

If you were to permanently attach the fake suppressor to your P22 you would never be able to disassemble it.

I just wouldn't fool with it... why poke sticks at the lions if you don't have to?

Yea that's it.

ETA: All they did to fix the problem was thread a sleeve over the threads and fasten it with loctite.
