I have actually been lurking on here since 2016, but didn't post until today. As my title indicates, I live in California, which makes it very difficult for those of us who like to collect and shoot guns. Many of you may be aware that California gun laws are complex, restrictive, and stacked against the ordinary citizen.
In particular, the "Roster of Handguns Approved for Sale" makes it very difficult, if not impossible, for us to buy any new model semiautomatics, and also restricts transfers of older models if the manufacturer did not maintain them on the roster.
So shooters in California spend more time trying to figure what they can and cannot do, and how to get the guns they want, than they do shooting or fondling their guns. Sad. At some point, I hope either the Second Amendment comes to Kaliforniastan, or I am able to move out. Neither looks imminent.
I love traditional DA metal framed guns. I own a variety of them built by Sig, Beretta, and CZ as well as some plastic striker fired guns I try to avoid talking about in polite company. Unfortunately, I don't own a single S&W 3rd generation pistol at this time, a situation I hope to remedy soon.
