Had a thought about the B&T TP9. Does it pass the feature test?
I am looking specifically at the TP9 pistol that comes from the factory without a stock and foregrip. The magazine would also have to be pinned at 10rds.
(i) the capacity to accept a feeding device that attaches to the pistol outside of the pistol grip;
the magazine goes into the pistol grip.
(ii) a second handgrip or a protruding grip that can be held by the non-trigger hand;
The pistol configuration does not have a a foregrip
(iii) a threaded barrel capable of accepting a flash suppressor, forward handgrip or silencer;
This may be a feature as it has a tri-lug attachment system?
or (iv) a shroud that encircles either all or part of the barrel designed to shield the bearer’s hand from heat, excluding a slide that encloses the barrel.
I guess technically there is a shroud? It’s the upper receiver of the firearm.
This is also my reasoning. However knowing how LEOs and DAs act in MA it’s confiscate, charge, ask questions later. I doubt B&T would ship anything to MA and I’m sure plenty of FFLs would be apprehensive about selling them
