Tanfoglio Witness 9mm Question

[extactical]

Hey guys just had a quick question I was interested in purchasing the witness from budsgunshop the only thing I was wondering was if it is California legal I've included the link below, Also has anyone ever owned or shot one? in my research I've heard nothing but good things would love to hear someone's insight on it.

This is an off-roster pistol.

As to your second question - yes, I own a Tanfoglio pistol. It is a fine handgun indeed. It is a fine shooter with a nice trigger.

If you have the means to acquire one - via PPT, intrafamilial transfer, etc - I think you will be happy.

Okay great thanks for the info

You can get the armscor MAP1 or MAPP1 FS/MS that is on roster. From what I can tell, it's exactly the same as my polymer witness.

yup...this. it's even stamped Tangfolio

Only the MAPP 1 FS/MS (polymer frame) is on the list. DOJ and Armscor can't get it right regarding the MAP1 (steel frame version)

Except you can't beat buds $290 price tag for the witness

[railroader]

I would rather have the armscor gun. It has the frame safety while the Bud's gun is a slide mounted decocker. I have a polymer framed witness like the armscor and it's my home defense gun. Those are cheaper at buds than the decocker version.

If you don't have a means to get them in CA, then it's pointless to compare pricing.

I do I live with family in Arizona a couple weeks out of the year so I have residency there as well I was just under the impression that active military could do a transfer but I was incorrect only leos can.

whatever your dual residency conditions are, even if you are able to buy in AZ while you still maintain your CA residency, you can't bring it back into CA, unless you go through a FFL and because it's off-roster, they won't be able to DROS it to you

I don't know why I would need to re-dros a pistol I already own, done it before.

ummm, just because it's the law

27585. (a) Commencing January 1, 2015, a resident of this state
shall not import into this state, bring into this state, or transport
into this state, any firearm that he or she purchased or otherwise
obtained on or after January 1, 2015, from outside of this state
unless he or she first has that firearm delivered to a dealer in this
state for delivery to that [Same] resident pursuant to the procedures set
forth in Section 27540 and Article 1 (commencing with Section 26700)
and Article 2 (commencing with Section 26800) of Chapter 2.

Because you are California resident.If you are resident of another state and you are moving to CA,you can bring your firearms but they still must comply with local laws (10 round mags,bullet buttons etc.).If you are already a resident-you can't bring guns from other state.

To each his own

To each his own

No big deal, man. It's just a felony and will prevent future firearms ownership.

But hey, to each his own
