FIREARMS ACT 1996 - SECT 16B
Special provisions relating to category H (sport/target shooting) licences issued for specialised target pistols
16B Special provisions relating to category H (sport/target shooting) licences
issued for specialised target pistols
(1) In this section--
"specialised target pistol" means-- (a) a self-loading pistol with a
barrel length of less than 120 mm, or
(b) a revolver with a barrel length of
less than 100 mm,
that, in the opinion of the Commissioner, is of a
distinctive size or shape and is used in International Shooting Sport
Federation competition events, but that is not otherwise a prohibited pistol.
(2) The Commissioner may issue a category H (sport/target shooting) licence
(referred to in this section as a
"special pistol licence" ) authorising a person to possess and use a
specialised target pistol for the purposes only of participating in such
classes of specialised shooting competitions as may be approved by the
Commissioner.
(3) For the avoidance of doubt, a special pistol licence is a
type of category H (sport/target shooting) licence, and any requirements under
this Act or the regulations that apply to or in respect of a category H
(sport/target shooting) licence apply to or in respect of a
special pistol licence.
