FN509C Edge with a unique twist on a compensator

[Saltwater60]

I have not seen this mentioned here and I thought the compensator design and attachment was very unique and probably legal in NYS. It’s not a threaded barrel since threads to me are very specific.

Neat concept, but you’re forgetting one critical aspect to your observation. Logic is not in the socialist mindset.

The people who talk about the thing that sticks up, clearly won't like this.

If they didn’t define threads in the law then they can’t call these threads. Threads have a pitch and spacing as defined, but this has neither. IMO this would be good to go, but take my opinion for what it is.

How so? Flash suppressor, muzzle "break" or muzzle compensator are all evil features (provided semi automatic with ability to accept detachable mag) by themselves without regard to threaded barrel. Don't see this being legal under NY law.

But you can get a pistol ported thereby creating a compensating feature that is integral to the build (sans a separate device).

So what exactly is it that they care about? (Aside from creating turmoil)

Ok.. good luck with that.

So, I can't get ports cut into my pistol? hmm, bummer

Muzzle Devices on Pistols in NY - SAFE Act Website Incorrect/Custom Barrels OK

According to SAFE Act code, a pistol in NY is considered an assault weapon if, among other things, the pistol has a threaded barrel capable of accepting a muzzle break (brake?), flash suppressor, compensator, silencer, etc... Many of you know this already. I'd like to simply bring up two...

As far as I know a ported barrel is GTG I actual had a Glock 34C on my NYS permit with no issues. This is not same as what OP posted or what I responded to though. OP stated the FN compensator "may" be GTG in NYS due to lack of threaded barrel. I was simply pointing out that compensator is listed as evil feature regardless of whether barrel was threaded or not.

 

[cgrutt]

No worries I thought you were saying you could have a ported barrel therefore the comp shown in OP would also be GTG. All good.

That’s semi auto rifles and this is a pistol. Pistols are assault weapons if they have one of the following.

• A manufactured weight over 50 ounces unloaded
• A folding or adjustable stock
• A thumbhole stock
• A foregrip or second pistol grip
• A magazine that attaches outside of the pistol grip
• A barrel shroud, or
• A threaded barrel

Where does the safe act say a pistol can’t have a compensator or flash suppressor. The way I read it that is specific to rifles.

Yes my bad I thought language was reciprocal.

Every revolver has a threaded barrel, I think.

Not semi auto so there is that.

No worries. I just wanted to make sure I understood it as well.
