Joseph, no Sir, same deal. Unfortunately no Due to being a Semi-Auto Handgun with 1, 2, 4 and 5 under Handguns here : budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/connecticut_restrictions.pdf

This is not legal in Connecticut due to the magazine attaching outside of the pistol grip, threaded barrel, manufacturers weight of 50 ozs or more, and the magazine is over 10 rounds. So this has 4 restricted features and any of those 4 would make this illegal in Connecticut. If you're seeing similar ones that are legal it's because they have a fixed magazine meaning it can't easily be removed. If you have a fixed magazine it can have those features. Hope this helps

Bill, The short answer is that an "other firearm" is one that is designed to be fired with 2 hands, does not have a stock (has a brace) and has an overall length that exceeds 26″. Basically, according to the definition set forth by the ATF it is not a pistol, not a rifle and not under the jurisdiction of the NFA therefore it classifies as an "other firearm." Since the 'other' is not classified as a pistol or rifle, that is how it is CT legal while the S&W pistol is not.
