I think everyone is confused over what pistol a dealer can legally "sell" to a customer and what he can legally "transfer" to a customer. There is a big difference when it comes to "selling" and greatly limits the new and older pistols that can be sold to customers by a Massachusetts DEALER.
TRANSFERS- Maybe someone can comment on OUT of STATE Transfers. I believe that the "sweet spot" when it comes to out of state transfers for psitols (always must be from an out of state FFL into a Mass FFL) that are pre-ban (pre-September 1994) as they avoid the 10 round high capacity limit as well as the state's roster. After this date and before October 31, 1998 inter-state transfers of pistols to Mass. must meet the 10 round limit but not the roster as the roster came into law after October 21, 1998. After October 21, 1998 the roster rules. The issue is that many dealers might not know the law very well and not take in the transfers.....
