For any new gun to make it on the roster, it must have a loaded chamber indicator, a mag safety and (here it comes) MICROSTAMPING of the gun's serial number from the firing pin onto the primer AND IT HAS TO BE READABLE.
Impossible you say? Yup. They know it and say "not my problem". Is this a thinly veiled way to eventually ban the sale of guns in California? You make the call.
Law enforcement is exempt (guess why they endorsed the law).
That's why 1.0 Shields, old Glocks and Rugers and old model 1911's are all we can buy as well as XD's and any other old model semiautomatic guns that a manufacturer wishes to keep in production. Smith and Wesson decided to abandon the M&P compacts and full size guns here and only keep selling Shields and SD_VE's which I hope bit them in the butts for allowing Glock, Springfield, Ruger and Hi Point to rule the market here.
