I bleieve the single shots are limited to over 7 or 8 inches.

That would explain why nobody has tried this.

[eccvets]

in california, the roster will break you (and your @sshole). dont even try...

This was just hypothetical, I'm not even 21 for 2 years

Unfortunately, as already mentioned (kind of) there is a barrel limit of at least 6" and an overall limit of at least 10.5". There are kits made for a few guns (very old and hard to find) that make doing that much easier, but in general it would be a very expensive undertaking.

Good thinking though, it's little seeds of "what if" that can get people thinking and talking about different ways of interpreting the law.

this has been done for those firearms that can easily be modified to comply with the single-shot dimensional requirements.

Actually this is what I was thinking. I am taking the steps to get my 07 FFL right now (in Oregon). I could have a few barrels made for the more popular (non-roster) guns long enough to meet the requirements of barrel length and overall length.. I would then machine single shot magazines that need a tool to remove. I could then convert the gun to single shot and send it to the customers FFL. After the gun is DROS'd the customer would send the barrel and magazine back to me and I send them the original barrel and magazines.

This is not the reason I am getting the FFL. but I was thinking it would be something that would be possible and that people would pay for if the roster does not go away.

actually Norse Armory in woodland offers that service. including extended barrels and all.

It certainly is possible with a single shot slide and magazine for 1911s. Don't listen to people who tell you not to try. That's worthless advice.

You could make a bundles of money just importing and selling single shot XD(m)s here if you have seen the WTS forum...

So is the xd9 illegal in california? I thought it was because of the mag being 16 rounds.

the XD9 is not illegal in CA. In fact, they sell them every day in CA with 10-round mags.

the XD9m is not illegal in CA either. magazine capacity does not affect the legality of a semi-automatic pistol that has a detachable magazine. Now, the act of acquiring a large-capacity magazine may be a crime, but the fact that the pistol can use that mag does not make the pistol illegal. In addtion, the XD9m is not on the ROster, so there are hoops that have to be jumped through to transfer one in CA. But, the handgun itself is still legal to own in CA.

Just make a trip to the CA DOJ and carry a sign saying "DIE ROSTER DIE" and open carry too.

[Saym14]

yes there was talk here of doing this for 1911's. then you can change the slide and barrel etc out. If only they made the HK p30S with a 7 inch barrel!
