Legal Pistols for UK

We just wanted to show our fellow shooters & Firearms Enthusiasts overseas what is still actually legal in the United Kingdom in terms of Pistols, since we are the Rimfire Blog we will only be showcasing some in .22LR Calibre.

As you can see in the below images, the Pistols have to have an extended barrel (yes, they are not suppressors / moderators) and also a horrible extention connected to the grip thereby extending the length even further!

These are the Pro TSC 1911 .22LR pistols Made in Germany...

Going for around £800 or less, I for one find the pricing and the fact that you still have to (by law) have the ridiculous extentions added on, just makes this too sad to comply with, I'd rather keep shooting rifles, you can pick up a decent brand new .22LR for as low as £175 even in Semi Auto.

Handguns including small calibre such as .22LR were outlawed in 1997 following the 1996 Dunblane Massacre.

Last year there was a petition to reclassify .22LR pistols as Section 1 FAC licences which failed to get enough votes by the public (only 13,000 of the 100,000 needed) It would be a good idea to say that a person wanting a .22LR pistol should have already owned or currently own a .22LR, .22WMR or .17HMR Rifle and  have been shooting for no shorter than a year.
