Like I said, hard to miss

Yeah, it sticks out like a sore thumb, but I don't think that was the OP point. I believe he's saying people in the market place are selling modified CA version Shields, but listing them as the Off Roster version.

just learned something.

Let us not beating around the bush. Here ya go:

http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/showthread.php?t=1329044

Make: S&W M&P Shield 9mm

Model: Shield

Caliber: 9mm

Location (city or county): Sacramento

Price: $650.00

Will ship (Y/N): No

Other info: Off Roster. LCI is locked in place (down) and I am told that this is one of those models that can still fire with the mag out. Comes with 3 mags and a IWB holster.
Would be willing to trade, plus cash on my end, for a Colt Defender 45 or 9mm or EMP 9mm.
Let's chat.

Thanks, I had a feeling OP was alluding to something like this

I don't understand why having or not having a loaded chamber indicator is a big deal. Every Luger ever made has a pop up indicator and I've never heard anyone complain about it.

The way it's implemented on the Shield bothers me. It's just an extra piece bolted on, which is one more piece that can cause a malfunction.

I'm fine with a window, or with an extractor being designed to indicate when the chamber is loaded (as my PPQ does).

But when the government requires you to add a feature to a firearm that a consumer may not want, and that may increase the chance of a malfunction, I draw the line.

This is fraud. Clearly states its off roster, then goes into detail that proves it's not.

You can buy off roster Shields in Ca. Well technically your buying a Ca Shield then replacing the LCI and removing the mag disconnect. Then magically you have a off roster Shield you can sell for much more than you paid, by simply stating it's off roster.

It's not magic, it's called dishonesty.

Wizardry!
