Well, to be fair, the firearm owner they're dealing with is the guy who'd vote for the current crap of Kalifornia legislators, so they may have a point.
To be really fair, the roster has saved me a ton of money I otherwise would have spent on some excellent current handguns. Most law abiding Californians probably do not care if it has a loaded chamber indicator, survives a drop test, has a magazine disconnect feature or can micro stamp an ejected casing.
