Is this a brake or flash hider?

[Chaos47]

Also californias law is somewhat unclear as they use their own dictionary.


Conspicuosly is not a measurement, neither is reduces flash as everything reduces flash and conspicuosly can mean anything.

A longer barrel reduces flash........anything on the barrel reduces flash.......low powder charges reduce flash, there are some low flash powders.......

I am putting a spur grip as it goes no lower than the lower is made....IE, it can not be any higher or smaller, no possibility of "conspicuosly" being used against me..........I also will be taking the muzzle brake off and putting thread protector back on....no chance of being a flash hider.


Once I see how crazy they will get on the featureless enforcement now, I might put the 100% muzzle brake back on.

Not going to be a example or poster child for them......

The spur has a different possible issue then "conspicuously beneath the action"

"pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon”
means a grip that allows for a pistol style grasp in which the web of the trigger hand (between the thumb and index finger) can be placed below the top of the exposed portion of the trigger while firing.

Ok so if you notice "pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon” is the title. It is NOT found in the definition! (Note: this is why grip fins are thought to be ok despite their angle downward)

So the actual definition talks about:
"a pistol style grasp in which the web of the trigger hand (between the thumb and index finger) can be placed below the top of the exposed portion of the trigger while firing."

Now there are a couple things here... does the spur constituent as a "pistol style grasp"? Probably not...

BUT by its design it does allow for the "web of the trigger hand (between the thumb and index finger) can be placed below the top of the exposed portion of the trigger".

So while its designed to be NY legal. It's a sort of gray area in CA...

Tapco refers to all their muzzle brake as flash hiders, even the basic slant one.
