Dear friends,
I own an Arminius, now i am getting a immaculate Colt 1911, .45 cal, US army issue.
please post your opinions regarding pros and cons for this change.
and lastly how much i must pay for it in Maharashtra.
In future if the Govt bans the possession what will happen to the weapon.
regards,
PS is .45 ACP a NPB in the entire country ?

Handguns capable of chambering & firing .45 ACP ammunition is a Prohibited Bore in India .

By the way , who is selling you an immaculate Colt 1911 Army issue in Nasik ?

The list of PB calibers does not vary between States. I'd stay away from this, since YOU will be breaking the law by possessing a PB weapon on a NPB license.

the guy showed me a letter written by the GOI home dept to maha gov that this is NPB as this caliber is not used by any of the govt forces any where in India.

I would disagree,38 Sp NPB Delhi,357 Mag PB Mumbai,45 NPB Pune & Mumbai,C.S just be careful,there hardly any undoctered 45s in Punjab,the dealers have learn t how to Parkerise US properties,stamping US PROPERTY is hardly any issue with our enterprising GUN DEALERS

I had asked a similar question and the value was 2-2.5 if i recall.If it is immaculate maybe more.

Lot of people have .45 ACP as NPB in Mumbai.

If it is not NPB in Maharastra , then it's Prohibited Bore , and so your dealer got PB bore firearm from somewhere in Punjab , and trying to sell it to a civilian .

Dear CS,

PB or NPB, the best option is go to OC Arms of your licensing authority and have a check with him/her.
Since once it is endorsed on your license by him post inspection, it is his problem not yours, technically.

But check authenticity and condition of weapon.

45 is a good choice, can prove to be a wrist breaker.

Cheers....
