A 436 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Classifies pistol converters as a rapid-fire modification device

This bill amends New York's penal law to explicitly include "pistol converters" in the definition of a "rapid-fire modification device." It directly affects individuals who own, sell, or manufacture pistol converters, as these devices would now be prohibited under the same restrictions as bump stocks or binary triggers. The key mechanism is a simple definitional change in the law, adding "pistol converter" to a list of devices designed to accelerate the rate of fire on semi-automatic firearms. This creates a clear legal classification for pistol converters without introducing new enforcement procedures.
