I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I just had a question. I am looking to buy a CZ SP-01 in CA, but apperently they only make them avalaible with 18 round mags. I know I can get "legal" 10 round mags as aftermarket additions, but my question is, how can it be on the CA DOJ list if it only comes with 18 round mags?

If they are going to go to the trouble of making it avaliable to CA, shouldn't they have a seperate SKU number or something?

All of the stores I have talked to say they can sell it to me, but that it comes with no mags. Is there a way I can "sell" those mags to someone in another state, without ever having to physically have them? I guess that's up to my local shop.

I guess it's my fault for wanting a gunin CA, whose primary selling point is high capacity.
 
If it uses the regular CZ mags then you should be able to find ten rounders.
 
I'm in CA, and I bought mine online. Did an out-of-state transfer, and had the seller switch the 18 rounders w/ 10 rounders. Worst case scenario, you can have the seller keep the 18 rounders and ship you the gun w/o mags, then buy 10 rounders later yourself.
 
What I have done in the past is sell the normal mags to the transfer dealer and purchase 10rd mags in the aftermarket. Your FFL dealer will need to have a California Hi Cap Mag license. They take the mags out of the box you never see them. If the dealer does LEO transfers they will have the proper license. This is a way LEO can purchase hicaps in state legally. There can be a good demand for your normal mags at reasonable prices. Normal cap mags are only illegal for you in California, not for thousands of LEO within the state. :)
 
I live in California...

For most people in most states this is pretty obvious. Are you a Resident of CA? If you are not a Resident of CA, then where... remember we live in a country that has loop holes and even CA law has loop holes. ;)

I ask this because the Active Duty Military "Stationed but not residence of CA" are allowed to have thier "high capacity magazines" and we're allowed to permit our "Dangerous Weapons". CA calls them Assult Rifles, I call them Sport Utility Rifles. Unfortuneatly, I've had to go back to the Midwest a few times to purchase guns that CA didn't like or the manufacture wouldn't pay the PRCK to put it on the "holly list".

But it is a crime to give a CA resident a high capacity magazine, unless they are a LEO.
 
I am familiar with what I can and cannot have in CA, and I am very familiar with the loopholes. My question (which is more of a gripe), was, why did CZ go to the trouble of getting their gun "drop certified" in CA, when they don't make an option for the gun factory with 10 round mags. It seems to me if they weren't going to care about that aspect of the "CA gun laws", then why would they bother letting it here at all? I guess I shouldn't complain since I CAN actually get it here now. And when I move into America proper, I can get real mags.
