I believe you can own these but as soon as you attach it to your pistol the firearm becomes prohibited which means you will need a prohibited weapons permit. Obviously shooting the firearm at the range is outside of question.. definitely illegal
This all makes sense but I want to be sure and cannot find any reference to the relevant law.
Also, do they need to be registered just like a firearm and require a pta or is it considered an accessory?
They consider it to be "prohibited in NSW". I would assume they mean prohibited even to possess.
How long does it make the handgun?
Maximum length is 650mm for handguns, so longer than that would be illegal.
If it would be illegal to attach it to a handgun anyway I can't see any reason why you would want one. I guess it might have some novelty value but hardly enough to be worth risking serious firearms offences.
