AOW?

[JetGirl]

This didn't seem to fit in "Carry Issues" or "Accessories & Gear" and I wasn't sure where it belonged... but I have a question about wallet-type holsters.
If one has the entire trigger area exposed (so that you can shoot while the gun is still holstered), is this considered an "Any Other Weapon"??
Please provide source links with answers.
Thanks.

I found this https://www.indianagunowners.com/forums/accessories_and_gear/179729-does_this_look_dangerous_to_anyone_else.html. From the looks of it, it can depending on barrel placement in the holster, if it fires through a hole or if it fires above the holster.

From your thread linked:

" AOW is a concealable weapon that is not recognizable as a conventional
pistol or revolver"

I'm not talking about one that you can see the slide above the top of the holster.
What if on one side, you could see the grip...
But on the other, you couldn't see anything but the trigger and a cut out for the ejection port (the barrel not being exposed at all)?

From my understanding of the text in the links provided, a fully shrouded gun that only has the trigger exposed, is an AOW.
Is this correct?

I guess since the thread's been moved to the "Class III (NFA)" forum...that's my definitive answer, eh?

JetGirl, I can't help answer your question, but i have to ask. Do you have multiple profile pictures with the monkey and a gun for other holidays? Rabbit ears for Easter? Pumpkins for Halloween? Literally made me LOL when i saw the xmas hat and presents!

I believe if the holster becomes part of the firearm (ie North American Wallet Holster NAA-WH 22lr NEW : Holsters / Gun Leather at GunBroker.com), the firearm is an AOW. The grips are removed from the revolver, and the leather is bolted on around the firearm.

As I understand it, having looking into registering one for my Hi Standard .22mag, this is AOW

While something like this isn't:

Nope. I only altered it when I read the thread about Christmas avatars. I misunderstood it to mean "Keep your original...just Christmasify it"...which seemed more fun to me.
But whatevs.
I like the seasonal thing you brought up, though... Hmmm...

I don't think this will have to be registered as a NFA weapon, but will eventually have to be registered as a weapon after recycling.

I don't think these are made anymore for some reason.
I think Pachmayr made them.

The grip is replaced with the shroud concealing the gun.
It is a neat idea and keeps your reload handy.

Is it a AOW?

Edit: ALso tried to rep you but it said I must spread it around despite the fact I have NOT given you rep in days

Your rep button must be broken. Try repping me to see if it works.
