Handgun and Rifle Options for Socialist States.

[DocGKR]

The S&W M&P45 would be an ideal pistol in CA, too bad it is no longer sold here. Likewise the S&W M&P9c was a good choice, as it actually runs fine with the neutered 10 rd mags, however it too is no longer sold in CA. Glock 26's are a good choice, as are G19's with the grip cut for G26 mags, at least till both drop off the "Safe Handgun" Roster at the end of this year and are no longer sold in CA. I am not a fan of the Sig P220, so I guess that leaves 1911's in flavors and some old revolvers...

Thank goodness I have a good supply of 9 mm Glocks and mags, as well as M&P45's...

For long guns, shotguns like 870's, 590's, M2's, 1301's, along with "friendly" rifles like M1 Garand's, M1A's, as well as various lever guns are all possibilities.

There's always Single Shot Exemption until the end of the year, past that we're looking for a win from S&W and Ruger to kill the draconian roster.

Edit: Californian's need to buy what handgun they want right now since I forgot about the up and coming legislation to kill SSE.

Just saw this today, designed for California's whackyness:

This actually looks to be the best solution so far to featurless rifles! Well done Ares (as long as it works).

I think CA is the main place where a Glock 37 ( 10 round 45 gap) might still make sense. That and the g26, or in my case a G19 cut down to 26-size.

Even with the passage of SB281, Marylanders can still buy HBAR AR15's, and possess mags of any capacity.

If you reload the G37 could make a good ban state pistol.

How about a single stack SIG like a P239, P225, or P220. Beretta 92 Type M. HK P7m8 maybe?

There's a thread on the P6, which is the German police version of the P-225. They're available as surplus, but apparently the P6/225 has magazine problems. Also, I think spare mags for the Beretta M are hard to find, and the P-7M8 is also getting hard to support. But the 239 and the 220 are both good calls.

Helping out at my buddies shop in Nor Cal, I'll tell you that typical Glocks, XD's and Sig are the most popular handguns and low or high priced AR15/10's are still huge sellers while SCARS rarely stay in inventory very long. The amount of LWRC rifles (multiples of almost every configuration) sold out of this little shop would amaze the people who think Californians are stuck with bunk firearms.
