Calif. compliant vs. others

[N4KVE]

One other small difference. The CA compliant guns don't have the "Caution-Capable Of Firing With Magazine Removed" warning lased into the right hand side of the slide.

The CA compliant M&P I bought in CA doesn't have the caution label, (doesn't need it with a mag disconnect,) but every one I've purchased outside of CA does have the label.

My M&P40c does not have the label, will not fire w/o a mag, & was purchased brand new in Atlanta. Sometimes when supply is tight, guns made for other states will be sold as long as they legally can be. GARY

True, the California compliant M&P Shield doesn't have the "CCOFWMR" warning in small letters lased on the right hand side of the slide but in lieu of that it has a "LOADED WHEN UP" warning in large letters lased into the top of the loaded chamber indicator on top of the slide.

I was at a gun shop recently and was looking at the FN five seven. I was "allowed" to hold and manipulate the model in black because it passed the ca drop test and was approved. I was not "allowed" to even touch the flat dark earth model if the EXACT SAME FIREARM. Because this colored model had not been drop tested and was not on the approved list. Stupid stupid California. Apparently it is very costly for a firearm manufacturer to be tested for ca approval. Land of the free?
