Deactivated Pistols

What is a deactivated pistol?

A 'deactivated pistol' is a pistol that has been rendered incapable of discharging any shot, bullet or other missile and has consequently ceased to be a firearm.

As a deactivated pistol is a non-functional firearm, they are available to buy online. No licence is required to purchase in the UK and they can also be shipped direct to your door!

Deactivated pistols make fantastic guns for display and wall hanging, and are sure to be a great conversation starter!
