My little custom pistol I built would not even qualify in that state when they say it has to be at least a 357 caliber.
It shoots a 7.7mmX58 Jap round which is a 31 caliber and shoots 125, 150 and 180-grain Sierra pro hunter bullets accurately.
In power it is between a 308 and 30-06 but they do not even allow those for hunting there either.
Actually is is not even a pistol at all and is just classified as a rifle with a pistol grip since it has a 18 1/2 inch barrel and is 30 1/2 inches long.
Makes me glad I live in Texas I guess as I can use it to hunt down here any time.
