I live in the Midwest but did a special order through a local dealer for the CA version. I appreciate the extra safety features and in particular the magazine safety. I can leave a round in the chamber and a loaded magazine near or partially in the gun, and leave it for my wife. She has a bit of trouble racking the slide but can easily seat the magazine in case she needs the gun for self defense.

I do have some 16 round magazines for convenience on the range and I keep one ready for use, however I find it hard to understand how someone in a home defensive situation would need more than 10 or 11 rounds. The "party" would be over long before that many rounds would be consumed.

I'm licensed for concealed and open carry but have never seen the need to carry a gun on a daily basis.
