PR57 | 5.7mm Rotary Barrel Pistol | 20 Round Capacity
Unique & light. The PR57 is our 1st rotating barrel firearm and the lightest 5.7 pistol on the market. Its slim, streamlined design make it perfect for edc, and turning heads at the range.

The above is legal. The below is not.
Ruger-5.7® Centerfire Pistol

Is that making us all safer somehow?

Is the Ruger 57 gas-operated?

Nope. Delayed blowback.

So it would be illegal...just reading (and rereading) the bill language, many semi-auto handguns are recoil-operated and don't fall under their umbrella.

Yes, which is my point.... The ruger is illegal. The keltec is legal. The capacity and how they operate is largely the same. No removable magazine on the keltec...

It's a Keltec, it's no danger to anyone

I used my only semiautomatic, gas-cycled detachable box magazine just this past month for my first hunt of ‘25. It’s got a 16” barrel, low recoil and just right for 30yd brush shots and 200yd fields.
I bought this after strong consideration of different bolt action scout-type rifles. Problem with those besides the (over)price is not all came with iron sights or the means to install irons. Heavier recoil and not modular as in changing calibers would be
$ barrel+gunsmith labor and permanent.
So please, Colorado, don’t do a Canada. These MSR platforms are enjoyed by many of us. California and Massachusetts came up with a way to accept these rifles if they have an attached magazine so Colorado can do likewise.

If it passes it may be challenged. Just saw this. Doesn't specifically mention states, but the overall intent is clear.
Protecting Second Amendment Rights
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1.

Yeah. I was thinking about doing a tour of the states with Chukar. My shotgun is a Benelli auto.
You have good taste in guns.
We would love to have you and need more level headed voting sportsman in Colorado, but I wouldn't recommend moving here - Especially on the front range. Way to expensive and liberal!

In a most interesting turn of events, Senator Tony Exum (D-Colorado Springs) is worried about casting a vote in favor of the bill with rumors of a possible recall effort against him.
www.coloradopolitics.com
He is in a competitive swing district. Hunters should recall that Exum cast one of the deciding votes to confirm career anti-hunting activist Jess Beaulieu to the CPW Commission. Exum also voted to endorse Prop 127 as a committee member of the El Paso County Democratic Party, even when the Colorado Democratic didn't take a position and remained neutral. Prop 127 was rejected 53-46 in El Paso county.
I hope he pays a political price for his anti-hunting position and is recalled.
Colorado senators debate de facto ban on assault weapons
Colorado state senators are entering into the fourth hour of a heated debate over a proposal to ban on firearms with detachable magazines, such as semiautomatic firearms and gas-operated semiautomatic

Passed with an amendment to allow an exemption if you pass a class and obtain a permit.

Why not just make the concealed carry permit cover weapons that fall under this bill? The checks performed by the sheriff's office to obtain a CCW are where the vetting takes place.

That would require logic, forethought, and compromise by legislators for a bill about firearms, in Colorado. There is no room for any of that. That same CCW exemption could have applied, and had an amendment to apply, to the 3-day wait period bill. The bill sponsors declined and the amendment was lost.

You want a government to pass up a new revenue stream? They have to make up the difference from doing away with NR OTC tags somehow.
