So after much fickleness on the part of the Mrs. she finally decided to keep my .38 revolver in her nightstand, which means double bonus for me because I keep my Smith .45 and it frees up my last permit to buy for myself. Anyways on to my question, obviously exposed threaded barrels are illegal in Socialist New Jersey. If I were to purchase say a glock with a threaded barrel and permanently affixed the thread protector to said barrel, like rifles around here would this be legal. And before anyone asks, it's for the sole purpose of I think it looks badass

Threaded barrels are legal on most pistols.

if you permanently attached a thread protector to a glock you probably would never be able to remove the barrel from the slide as the thread protector might be too big to fit through the barrel hole on the slide to drop out.

B. a semi-automatic pistol that has an ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least 2 of the following:

 

1. an ammunition magazine that attaches to the pistol outside of the pistol grip;

2. a threaded barrel capable of accepting a barrel extender, flash suppressor, forward handgrip, or silencer;

3. a shroud that is attached to, or partially or completely encircles, the barrel and that permits the shooter to hold the firearm with the nontrigger hand without being burned;

4. manufactured weight of 50 ounces or more when the pistol is unloaded; and

5. a semi-automatic version of an automatic firearm

 

Just found this online so apparently it is perfectly legal without permanently fixing the thread protectors on a G22

Yea I actually thought about that about .3 seconds after posting kinda made it one of those facepalm moments

You may be getting into a gray area. You would have a threaded barrel, so that's it for evil features. I'm not a Glock-guy, so I don't know if they make a full-auto version of the G22, but they absolutely make full-auto Glocks. Seems if a prosecutor wanted to push the issue.... It certainly wouldn't be worth it to me, to have a useless (in NJ) feature on a pistol that could put me in jail.

Thanks for the input Pizza,

Yea I wouldn't do anything until I got a definitive yes anyways I don't trust NJ to buy something on a "I don't think it's illegal"
