Connecticut HB05043 prohibits the manufacture and sale of convertible pistols and rate of fire enhancements.

Connecticut HB05043 amends state law to prohibit the manufacture and sale of convertible pistols, which are firearms that can fire more than one round per trigger pull. The bill also prohibits the sale of rate of fire enhancements, which are devices that increase the firing rate of semiautomatic firearms. These changes are set to take effect on July 1, 2026. The bill defines "convertible pistol" and "rate of fire enhancement" and specifies that these prohibitions do not apply to certain entities such as state governmental agencies, police departments, and military forces.
