I Just bought a 1911 and it doesnt have those features either.
The reason you were able to buy your Ruger is because it is already certified for sale. There are thousands of pistols already certified for sale. Once a pistol is certified, it stays on the list as long as the manufacturer pays a yearly fee to keep it on the list.
*IF* a manufacturer fails to pay the fee, the pistol falls off the list and then it can only be re-added if the manufacturer adds the new required feature. So far manufacturers have been pretty good about keeping models on the list. Sometimes speciality models fall off, so if there is a special pistol you want, it might be smart to get it now before it falls of the list.
This is why I say Im not too concerned with Microstamping. We already cant get guns like the Taurus 1911 because Taurus isnt gonna bother adding the CLI or magazine disconnect requirement.. oh well, guess we'll have have to choose from 1911 from other manufacturers already certified.
Microstamping is just another feature that manufacturers wont bother with. They already have 1000+ models certified for sale in Cali, so there is absolutely no reason to spend money in tooling up for microstamping. They can simply opt to continue selling older models. This whole bill is a complete waste of time and effort.
Basically the Microstamping, CLI, and Magazine Disconnect requirements keeps new models from being certified.... unless the manufacturer decides to add the BS to the guns which I'm guessing they wont.
EDIT: Here is the list of guns certified for sale already..
http://certguns.doj.ca.gov/ .. If you're buying a gun from out of state, you need to check the list to make sure your pistol is listed. Interestingly enough, LEOs are exempt from this requirement. They can buy guns that arent on the list.
