Buying CA Guns Online

[Gooseman]

How do you guys purchase CA-approved guns online? With so many restrictions in place, it's almost not worth it browsing most of the sites, only to find out that the gun you want is not legal here.

Bud's Gun Shop has a section where they only show CA approved guns. That helps. Are there any other sites that do this?

Thanks!

Other stores have Ca only section-but not all.

Just bought my CZ Sp-01 from RG-they have a Ca approved filter you can click on.

If you are looking somewhere else ,and it doesn't say Ca approved-cross check the model # of the gun with the site here:

Also-don't forget 10 round mags max for California

You'll have to find a local FFl holder to accept and transfer for you. Someone that you can trust and has reasonable prices. Out of state transfers don't have a set transfer price like a regular Ca sale. You need to work out all the details--price, fees, Ca approved model #'s, etc.--before you buy.
I've gone both ways. Some times it's as cheap or almost as cheap to buy from a local dealer. Not always.
Google the Ca DOJ roster to see what's approved. The site is easy to use.

Grabagun.com also ship to CA, but check model before buy.

From the experiences of others here, make sure you contact the local FFL before placing your order. This way there is no confusion on expectations and costs.

The ca section at Buds is hardly ever updated. Find the gun you want to check the roster. I've had buds send me guns that weren't on the roster.

I don't feel that you save much and what you save is not worth the risk of making a mistake of getting something that is off roster. I purchase online because I am roster exempt and have fewer pitfalls (e.g. threaded barrels). I don't save a huge amount even with law enforcement discounts and a hookup through a local FFL. I mainly do it because the items that I want were usually an issue getting at the local gun stores. I heard not available way too often. I second the gun gallery suggestion.

This is a good one (if you know the gun you want, and it's on the stupid roster).

YOu pick the gun, then up pops a list of LGS in your area that sell it AND the price they want.

Thanks to all of you....been a big help. I'll start looking around on some of the sites you've all suggested.
