I think it probably depends on your club secretary, he might want to know why you need the gun you want to get when you already have one, or he might not care and trust that you know what you are doing. It is ultimately up to him with what he tells the registry which is why it is a good idea to talk to him first. When you lodge a PTA application they will email him and all he really has to say to them is confirmation that you are a financial member of the club and that the club shoots comps that your wanted pistol is used for, which (unless it falls under H6 "short barrel length" or large calibre classes) is any pistol when H5 is your option. But you still want to have a talk with him anyway, at the very least just so he knows to expect that email about you in the near future.
I recently bought my second pistol and it is a rimfire just like my first one is. I told my secretary this before applying for the PTA and he was fine with it, so I guess it is fine. I don't know, I don't know what this new law is so I am hoping the registry won't be calling me for any reason about it in the near future.
How would they even know if you were using both or just one or the other? I intend to use both as often as I can but it is stupid that I should HAVE to.
