Is .357 pb in Maharastra

Post by kuwar » Wed Jul 13, 2011 12:28 am

Friends,
Today I visited a gun dealer in Mumbai to buy cartridges for my weapon.
when I enquired wheather any .357 mag. revolver is available the gentleman informed me that it is a PB in Maharastra.
I asked him how .357 can be a PB , as only those weapon which can chamber service ammunation can be PB and as far as I know no government agency in India uses .357 mag. To this he replied what I say is true but this is the rule here.

Do anyone have any information about it . pls share.

Regards,
Kuwar.

Only for babudom of Maharashtra .357 magnum is PB. What kind of "information" are you seeking? Is it the "information" obtained by RTI? Probably ruger_rugged posted similar query sometime back, maybe he has the "information".
