Off roster import

[max rhinehart]

If I bring an off roster handgun given to me by a family member into Ca is it illegal to possess. (Walther P22....not P22CA)

Was it given to you before you moved to California?

The difference between the P22 and P22CA the barrel nut is permanently affixed to the CA version where you can add accessories easily to the non CA version. Threaded barrels on pistols are "assault weapons" because they assault liberals feelings here in Kali.
Nutshell, don't bring it, it is not worth the possible trouble.

Oh in that case, no go regardless! Unless you have the barrel dethreaded

In addition to what was said, transfer of firearms between residents of different states has to go through a FFL in the state of residence of the recipient due to Federal law.

It is easier to see on the 3 inch version than the 5 inch. It is a different type of threaded barrel that lives inside the slide. You can't really de-thread it, the cap has to be permanently affixed.
For the $300-350+tax+DROS, it is not worth the trouble in my opinion unless you have the ability to weld or chemically attach the nut (red loctite does not meet the definition of permanently attached last I read).
