Buy one and immediately replace those parts with new service parts that are not microstamped.
What they did was an exercise in cynicism, putting manufacturers in a double or even triple bind, in order to suppress their manufactures.
This is a gun ban.
I am honestly starting to think gun stores in Nevada are behind this.
They will make an absolute mint!
Of course not - because, just like Obamacare is not about healthcare, the microstamping law in CALi is not about safety. It is about power and control. With the Supreme Court slapping down anti-gun laws as far as the right to carry... they are ever more resolute to try to find other avenues of “gun control”...
I’ve got an idea... how about every 2nd Amendment-supporting firearms manufacturer just quit selling to California... Starting with LAW ENFORCEMENT!
more liberal utopian idiocy forced on to the fools living in CA by the liberal ruling elite to incrementally disarm arm the public. The state house in Sacramento is NAZI central west.
The idiots in California have put so many regulations on gun sales it is ridiculous. I recently purchased an Uberti reproduction of a Colt single action revolver in .44-40 WCF. It took over an hour to fill out the required paperwork for the registration, etc. After the ten day waiting period expired, I returned to pick up my gun and learned I now had to fill out MORE paperwork, including a paper listing information attesting to the make and model of my gun safe (!), and sign SEVEN more times under penalty of perjury, taking forty-five more minutes, before I could pick up my property!
Even then, under California law, I had to demonstrate that I knew how to safely handle the gun by loading it with dummy rounds, before the shop could legally deliver the gun to me! I have had fifty years of gun handling experience, used to teach hunter safety course, and teach gun handling, and managed The Old Sacramento Armoury gun shop. . . so this was a piece of cake. They were quite impressed that even through they had showed me the gun was empty, I checked it myself after the salesman handed it to me. Imagine my shock when they told me that I FAILED their test! Why???
I failed because I had touched the trigger.
But I had touched the trigger because on any Colt type single action after you have loaded it with only five rounds—leaving an empty chamber in the cylinder—you are supposed to lower the hammer from the half-cock position to place the hammer on the empty chamber and the ONLY way to properly handle a single action of this type requires releasing the hammer by using the trigger. It is considered VERY UNSAFE to keep, carry, or holster a loaded Colt single-action on the half-cock position because it can fire if dropped and hits the hammer and breaks the sear! In fact, It’s why the later Ruger, Colt, and some other SA revolvers were redesigned with transfer bars or trigger/hammer safety blocks. I had checked and this gun did not have these safety features. I pointed out this is the ONLY perfectly safe way to carry a Colt style single-action without a transfer-bar hammer or safety block, which this Uberti model indeed did not have!!!
But California requires a FAIL if the customer so much as touches the trigger on a loaded firearm during the handling demonstration. . . regardless if that is the proper technique or not. . . but THIS gun requires the release of the hammer that can only be accomplished by holding the hammer with the thumb while releasing the trigger to lower the hammer to a safe position, or all the way down on an empty chamber to MAKE THE GUN SAFE!
I can understand the reasons for not touching the trigger on a modern semi-automatic, but in this case it’s just plain STUPID!!! Of course the gun sales people knew this and we all got a laugh out of it. . . But that IS the regulatory requirement. Touch the trigger, void the sale, they tell me. Sheer idiocy. I suspect they just warn new buyers.
