For everyone who helped out, thank you. It seems not everyone understands the law of MN regarding melting points of gun parts and which ones are legal and which ones aren't. I spoke with a few gun shops (thanks to info provided from a member on this site) and got conflicting answers as to the guns legality. It was about a 50/50 split on good or bad. Found a shop within 30 miles of here who had it in stock at a very fair price. I now own my very first handgun.
Thanks again for taking time to help me out.
