5.7 x 28 caliber pistol uses 2 10-round loading clips. Looks to me as if it would be 2 separate loading devices. Anyone see anything that would be in violation in CT?

I would say the answer is the PR57 is no go in CT.
By law, an LCM is any firearm magazine, belt, drum, feed strip, or similar device that can hold, or can be readily restored or converted to accept, more than 10 rounds of ammunition. It excludes the following:
- feeding devices permanently altered so that they cannot hold more than 10 rounds,
- .22 caliber tube ammunition feeding devices,
- tubular magazines contained in a lever-action firearm, and
- permanently inoperable magazines.
Kel-Tec says its 20 round.
Fixed magazine semiautomatic pistol in excess of 10 rounds is an assault weapon. Plus the large capacity magazine ban probably bans the 20 round “clips” too.
Everyone is running around asking about this pistol on the various CT centric gun forums.
The internal magazine would need to be blocked to 10 rounds somehow to be CT legal.
Agreed - it says the pistol can be loaded manually, without clips, with 20 rounds ( a fixed magazine). Guess I will have to wait until someone comes out with a compact 10-round 5.7 pistol.
I think PSA has a compact 5.7, not sure if they offer 10 rounds mags though.
