Not a Grip pod (I know vertical fore grips are illegal on pistols), but a regular bipod, are they legal on a pistol?

I'd  posit a bazillion Ruger Charger sales is testament to the legality.

Cool, thank you. Just picked up a really inexpensive (but pretty decent) bipod for my 3rd build, and was wondering what the smaller version of it would be like on my pistol. I think I'll give it a go!

The thought never entered my mind, but my HK45 has a picatinny rail and I have picatinny bipod, so now I have to try it!

But wait!!  A bipod can be used as a VFG...if I use it as a VFG am I creating an AOW? What if a rouge ATF agent catches me using it that way.    Just kidding...just felt like highlighting some of the silliness that flies around here from time to time.

Trust me, I thought about that when posting this... that's why I mentioned no Grip Pod. But TBH, it's a realistic possibility it could be used that way (though I think intended use when manuf. is the criteria they use, or it seems to me anyway).

I have never even tried a VFG on a rifle or carbine (just seems un natural to me, or not as desirable as the standard horizontal fore grip). Guess I should try one (on a Carbine) before judging them.
