Pistol with forward grip

[rp-]

I sae a video today of a guy with 3 rugers stuck together with a forward grip. It made me think of an argument I heard at a range very recently between 2 guys arguing over a forward grip vs angled grip on an AR pistol.

As I understand it a pistol with forward grip would be an AOW. Is this correct or is it an SBR at that point? Has anyone made or bought one like that? To be clear I have no intention of putting a grip on a pistol, just curious what it would fall under.

I want the Hyman Lehman special!

Used to he able to walk into the shop and have him make one for you....That was before we tolerated big brothers infringments. Need to get back to those days.

Quite the rabbit hole.

Ruger Charger comes with a bipod....can you legally hold the bipod as a forward grip?

Don’t put a vertical foregrip on a pistol. Right? This has always been my understanding of the National Firearms Act, at least as far back as I was aware that the law existed and began to read on the topic. It’s not something everyone agrees on, though – I walked into a gun store about ten years...

A pistol should be handled like a pistol.

Agreed, I don't try making things into something else. A lot of work went into making things as they are, as far as firearms, the only thing I would do to improve on them is a silencer or extended mag.

It's not that cut and dry.

Don't be telling folks how to handle their pistols. That's a personal thing that no one wants to see you doing in public. You just handle your own pistol....and keep your hands away from mine.

As an owner of an HK MP5, CZ Scorpion, and more... I have to agree. Mind ya own business, it ain't that simple.

AOW's are a broad category of the NFA. Vertical foregrips push firearms into AOW/SBR categories. Which category depends on specifics. There is a reason manufacturers slant foregrips/accessories at different angles other than 90 degrees. It's all BS but it is what we have to deal with.

If it comes factory that way, so be it.

Sometimes the factories foresight only goes so far, especially as far as ergonomics go.
