Adair, Pistol with a 16 inch barrel due to not having a Stock Sir. It is legal to purchase as a Pistol/Handgun. Cheers and stay safe!

Adair, since this doesn't have a stock it can still be classified as a pistol. A pistol can have a barrel over 16 inches but a rifle can't have a barrel under 16 inches. Not sure why the manufacturer decided to do it that way but it's perfectly legal. Hope this helps.

Adair, it's perfectly legal (barring bizarre local laws) to have rifle length barrels on a pistol. It doesn't have a stock, so it is still a pistol. The SP5L was designed and manufactured to meet the definition of a civilian pistol.
