18. It would seem this act was intended to prohibit

cheap guns, in smaller calibers, with short barrels. Which the PP certainly is, though calling it cheap might be a stretch.

It would seem, if it were ruled .30 caliber, he could keep it as a restricted handgun if he lengthened the barrel.

As for saying that anything over .30 caliber should be banned, bad idea. This law was intended to ban cheap, (mostly) blowback operated, low caliber handguns with short barrels. Your wording would effectively ban everything else, as most popular handgun calibers are in the .35-.45 range.
