Sawed off SxS's are also a problem here, in Canada - prohibited if barrel is modified shorter than 18". There is also a minimum length of 26", so could have an 18" bl. and 8" butt stock.
With the length, and a forend, obviously not meant to be fired with one hand, thus, not a handgun.
At the same time, the Lib/Tard/Socialist Government has placed a moratorium on the transfer and purchase (buy or sell, borrow/lend) of handguns.
26" makes for a long, 2-handed firearm.
