After doing a fair amount of research I had my heart set on purchasing a Ruger SR45 pistol until I found out that it is not on the roster of approved handguns in California. Can anyone suggest a viable alternative?
What is it about the Ruger SR45 you like? What is the key feature, or features, that make you like the Ruger? Beyond of course, that it is a Ruger.What about the SR45 appealed to you? Capacity, relatively thin grip, safety location, caliber, something else?
Thanks, JR47, but you can discuss the politics elsewhere.

In order to be renewed and returned to the list, all pistols must meet the microstamping law, so you will see all the pistols fall off the list within a year.
This is really quite ironic. All the safety features the sr series of pistols contain and it's not approved by Cali. I just couldn't live in a place like that

I found the following which might answer your questions: http://wiki.calgunsfoundation.org/Moving_to_California_with_firearmsJWH321 said:This all gets confusing to me -- what would happen if I were to move to California? Would I be allowed to keep my P938 and my M&P 9? Does it only affect sales of the non-approved guns, or does it also prohibit continued private ownership? What about those who already live in California and own a non-approved gun -- do they have to get rid of it?
