Well the news is in.

We are now waiting for DOJ to update the list and for supplies to arrive.
Happy SP01 Kalifornia

Hi Angus:

How about the Shadow? Will it be submitted?

Ain't gonna happen unless the Czechs add a mag disconnect.

SB 489 (Stats. 2003, ch. 500) (Scott) (2003 bill - Provisions are operative beginning 1/1/2006)

Requires that effective January 1, 2006, no semiautomatic centerfire pistol model may be added to the roster of handguns certified for sale in California unless it has a chamber load indicator or, if it has a detachable magazine, a magazine disconnect mechanism. Also effective January 1, 2006, no rimfire semiautomatic pistol that has a detachable magazine may be added to the certified list of handguns for sale in California unless it has a magazine disconnect mechanism. Handgun models that have been placed on the roster prior to the new requirements becoming operative may remain on the roster without these features (PC  12126, 12130).

Not to take over the post,but is that the reason the 40P isn't on the "list"?And,if the shadow is a "competition only" pistol,aren't there special exemptions for comp only pistols? Just asking.    Jim

Jim,

Excellent question. Here is the text from the DOJ website:

"Penal Code (PC) sections 12132(h)(3) and 12276.1(c)(3) exempt certain qualifying competitive Olympic pistols from the unsafe handgun provisions of Penal Code section 12125, et seq., and the assault weapon provisions of Penal Code section 12275, et seq. In addition to pistols specifically identified in the statutes, the Department of Justice (DOJ) is authorized to exempt pistols based on recommendations from USA Shooting, the national governing body for international shooting competition in the United States. The Roster of Exempted Olympic Competition Pistols established by the Department of Justice pursuant to Section 995 of Chapter
13.7 of Title 11of the California Code of Regulations identifies all of the Olympic pistols that are exempt from the unsafe handgun and assault weapon provisions."

I guess if we could get the Shadow listed as an "Olympic" firearm, things would be cool. I doubt that will happen. I think the best bet is to have Angus "Shadowize" a stock SP-01. He seems to be doing OK with his.
