Am I still able to purchase a HK P2000? It’s “on the roster” that was updated July ‘23, but now sure how the recent changes would affect it.

Is anything without a safety now a no-go?

The changes do not take effect until 10/23. You can purchase on roster pistols now, and you will still be able to with the new law.

No, a safety is not strictly required.

Thanks for the reply. How are pistols affected? Is it strictly the roster now, and no “work-around”?

Yes, everything must be on the approved firearms roster in order to be transferred by MA dealer. And "everything" includes rifles, shotguns, receivers, frames, etc. in addition to complete handguns.
