Gun season legal means of taking.
This includes deer elk and antelope seasons.



In Oklahoma any centerfire handgun firing a single bullet with at least 55-grain weight.
There is no minimum barrel length.

That was in 2023-2024 hunting regulations.

Centerfire Rifles. Any that fire a 55gr weight single soft nose or HP bullet. No magazine capacity restriction regardless of caliber.

Actually for handguns the min barrel length is 4”
According to the reg’s.

I checked because I wanted to use my xds last year and it’s 3.3”

That was possibly last years regs I have the current regulations in front of me and No barrel length restriction on handguns.

I know it used to be 4" minimum and was surprised when i read No length restriction this year.
Page 35 of the regs for 2023-2024

Looks like buck shot or multi ball ammo for shotguns is not be legal for harvesting deer.
The way i read it is a single slug is legal.
