Is it legal to put a vertical hand grip on a "Pre-Ban" Cobray M11/9mm?
It has the barrel threads for "attachments".
So, although you see them advertised in numerous places, my question is: are they legal?
Thanks

  NO
  
  The vertical foregrip is legal on the full-auto M11, but not on the semi-auto. They were very commonly added by people, because they wanted one on their gun, but they weren't legal.

  This question pops up from time to time and as Iramsx says it is not legal. By adding a second grip to a pistol it becomes a "Any Other Weapon" and is subject to the National Firearms Act. If allowed in your state, you can register your Cobray on a BATF FORM 1, Pay the $200 tax and be okay. Another possiblity is to have a Class II manufacturer (if you can locate one willing to help you) register the Cobray for you and then transfer it to you on a BATF FORM 4, for the $5 AOW transfer tax. Preban or postban make no difference, you can't add the front grip and be legal.

  Of course the same thing goes for a Tec-9 although I see them all the time. I even bought one a couple a years ago from a dealer and it had the fore grip!
