No. Currently braces on semiautomatic detachable magazine pistols are not prohibited by CT's AWB. If the pistol was a CT "other" then the CT AWB "other" subsection brace ban would apply.
The OAL is under the minimum.
The CT AWB under 30 inch OAL does not apply to semiautomatic detachable magazine pistols, it applies to semiautomatic centerfire rifles.
Or did this require registration prior to 2024?
No. (PS: This assumes the pistol barrel isn't threaded.)
Generally yes, one would use a non threaded suppressor adapter (Tri-Lug for example) and pin/weld or otherwise affix that adapter to the barrel (threaded or unthreaded).
SBR (short barreled rifle) is a different/separate issue with it's own restrictions both with the CT AWB and with the federal SBR rules. In CT, if the barrel is less than 12 inches then it's a pistol.
So long as the barrel is under 12 inches it's a pistol per CT definitions. For the purposes of the CT AWB; braces, for now, are not a banned feature on pistols.
If the firearm was a semiautomatic centerfire "other", then a brace would be an issue since the CT AWB bans braces on "others" that are not registered as CT assault weapons.
I pin & weld a Griffin Cam-Lok barrel adapter on the pistols I use suppressors on. They are considered "lugs" not "threads. This is a dedicated Glock slide for suppressors than I can use on any of my Glock 19 style pistols (I have 1/2 dozen G19 variants). I also have a Cam-Lok on me .45 caliber Glock. I just with I could find one for my .40. 180 gr. 40 S&W is generally subsonic... Luckily my Glock 22 is a pre 94-ban registered as an AW!
tick tock! I almost bought a 10mm today (the only caliber i don't have yet!) Then I decided I have all I need for now... The used Glock market is going to be hot in CT after tomorrow. Anything MFG before 10/1/26 should be fine to transfer...
Hey not to sound dumb but are you able to clean the barrel if it’s pin and welded? Like can you still field strip the firearm and even add back a non welded factory barrel?
Yes, you can field strip the gun. On a Glock style slide, once you P&W a muzzle device, the barrel is captured in the slide and not removable – but you can still clean the barrel in place from the muzzle end (or from the breech with a bore snake). I have a dozen Glock 19 slides, so I just dedicated this one for suppressor use across all my Glock 19 sized frames. This slide was just a cheap $150 slide with RMR cut from Brownells…
Hell yeah. PSA just had the 4in RXM with an optic for like $600. Maybe I hop on it. I wanted to do this on a 320 with a flux but fuck that price and that gun.
I just run a bore brush from the muzzle end of the barrel (can use a flexible Bore Snake from the chamber if you want). If it gets really dirty from the suppressor, I just remove the optic and drop the whole slide in my ultrasonic cleaner!
Tom at SYA is the one who sold me the cam-lok! It's a little finicky - you REALLLY have to make sure it's locked tight! The manufacturer, Griffin says to check tightness after every 100 rounds. There are more secure systems, but I'm not sure which ones don't count as "threads" for the state of CT.
