Hey All,

Newbie to the state. I tried searching for an answer to my question, but didn't find a straight answer.

I'm in the midst of waiting for my conceal permit to go through, but I found a killer deal on G23 slide and barrel refinished in nickel boron. Federally, the upper assembly (barrel included) I would be purchasing would be fine since the frame is considered to be the regulated firearm. Would this still be kosher in CT? I was planning on purchasing the slide and barrel and then buy the frame when I get my permit approved. Does this overstep any boundaries?

I definitely don't feel like doing anything illegal.

Thanks

As you stated only the serialized receiver is considered a firearms, the rest is just plastic and or metal. That said some companies won't ship certain "assault weapon" components to CT. You should be fine with the slide and barrel. If the seller will ship, you're GTG. You will have trouble finding just a frame, so expect to purchase a whole gun and sell of any extra parts at a discount.

There are a couple of places online that frequently have various Glock frames. There are a bunch on gunbroker right now.

This is exactly what I was planning. There a bunch of factory new G23 frames for about $170.

I was just really nervous that I would miss some other type of regulation specifically for CT.

Okay, awesome. I really appreciate the help guys.

I'm glad that I can find some fellas with their heads on straight in this crazy state.

Just like the rest said, you should be fine with what you've asked.

Remember, there is no such thing as a concealed carry permit. Its a carry permit. Open carry is legal in CT.

Be safe

Thanks for the correction. I forgot that you can open carry. I think I just conditioned myself when I first read it to not even think twice about doing it here.
