Is this good to go in commie CT?  I assume it's OK, similarly to tube fed lever action rifles, but would like to confirm.  

Specifically looking into an Uberti Cattleman, or similar.

Thanks in advance

Per the way the large capacity magazine ban is written so that it's open ended. Likely not because it is not a "tubular magazine" in a lever action firearm or ".22 caliber tube ammunition feeding device". A .22 cal revolver cylinder is not one of the two listed exemptions. But hey if a CT FFL is willing to sell or transfer such a pistol to a non exempted person...

Sec. 53-202w. Large capacity magazines. Definitions. Sale, transfer or possession prohibited. Exceptions.

(1) “Large capacity magazine” means any firearm magazine, belt, drum, feed strip or similar device that has the capacity of, or can be readily restored or converted to accept, more than ten rounds of ammunition, but does not include: (A) A feeding device that has been permanently altered so that it cannot accommodate more than ten rounds of ammunition, (B) a .22 caliber tube ammunition feeding device, (C) a tubular magazine that is contained in a lever-action firearm, or (D) a magazine that is permanently inoperable;

You are right, in their infinite stupidity, they did not include the word "cylinder" anywhere.  This shows once again how clueless and idiotic the bill authors are.
