Single Shot Exemption Explanation/Database Thread

[Saym14]

Just dropping in to let you guys know that I am back from my vacation and will be doing single shot pistols again.

I figure by now there are so many FFL's in California that are doing them that there is much less need for me to do them. Which is great for me as I really started my business with some other things in mind and when I started doing the single shot pistols they just got out of control. At this point I am happy to help out where I can.

glad to hear this welcome back.

Sorry about that. I have been meaning to take them down which I just did. Best way to find out if I can do a certain pistol would be to email me with any questions.

Inland Empire?

Hi calgunners. I'm Nate and i'm trying to see what kind of demand there would be for a shop in the San Bernardino area to do SSE handguns. Also any other pertinet information that I could use to try and convince my LGS for the need for them to look into it. Trying to think on a scale of EBR works, DAS, and Addax tactical. Is there anything closer than those to San Bernardino that does them? Will you please help me by stating what area you'd be coming from. Thanks in advance.

All pertinent information is in the sticky (I'm assuming you mean legal).

if you had the right guns at fair prices I would go there. you would be the closest to me. I am going to EBR and they are 65 miles. thats a lot of round trip driving when you have to go to start DROS and then pick it up. I am in the east san gabriel valley.

Kenny Hamerman (45colt@bellsouth.net) Great SSE Service

So after Buds told me to kick rocks when trying to have them transfer an off-roster Dan Wesson Valor to Valkyrie for the SSE mod, I found a CA-friendly dealer in Florida named Kenneth Hamerman (45colt@bellsouth.net). Not only was Kenny a stand-up, honest seller with great communication and fast shipping, but his price on the Valor was $150 cheaper than Buds! Kenny has done many transfers to Valkyrie and before purchasing with him I called Valkyrie up and they confirmed smooth transactions with him.

Speaking of which, I also want to mention that the folks over at Valkyrie Arms are top notch. They are down to earth people who never once gave me that 'greater than thou' attitude and were more than happy to explain the SSE process to me.

Both Kenny Hamerman and Valkyrie have earned my business for some time to come. I'll also be donating to CGN as if it weren't for this forum I'm sure my Valor wouldn't have been possible.

I have to give a recommendation for Kenny Hamerman as well. He found me an HK p30 and was really quick on returning emails as well as shipping my gun off to Ryan at Tablerock the morning I had transferred him the money. He specializes in Colt and Dan Wesson 1911s but can find many other guns you might be looking for.

And since we need all the california friendly dealers we can Id recommend putting him on the list for off roster firearms

I wanted to give a shout out and thanks to both "SiegeX" and also "Strykeback" without both of their recommendations on this board I would have never found out about Kenny Hamerman (45colt@bellsouth.net). This is the first time I have posted on Calguns so sorry in advance for any formatting issues. Anyways I can attest that everything the above two posters have said about Kenny Hamerman is dead on. His prices were great (much better than Bud's) and you are sure you are getting a new product (unlike some of the things I read about Bud's online). He took a lot of time e-mailing me all the details of the transaction and at the same time recommended where to go to have the SSE performed on the Dan Wesson Valor I purchased from him earlier this year. He conducts business the old fashion way and is very customer service friendly. He is also great at finding many of the harder to find and procure firearms. I definitely plan on him being my go to guy in the future as from my experience he is the friendliest and most helpful dealer I have ever done business with.

One last thing I should mention, this is the first time I have ever written a review for a product/service/individual online. I usually don't feel the need to do this but given the outstanding service I received from Kenny I felt compelled to do so. Thanks again Kenny.

Anyone know if I can just register a sse of a hk mp5 clone pistol barreled receiver? Or does the gun have to be complete gun with trigger pack and bolt?

[kemasa]

A handgun has to be either on the certified list or exempt. A receiver is neither. You also have to do the firearm safety demo, which you can not do unless it is complete or you are exempt.

I've been in a gun shop (who shall remain unnamed) in the Temecula area recently with a friend of mine who wants a SA XDM. I explained to him that the only way to get one in CA is to either buy one from a private party or to go to a shop that does SSE conversions.

One of the sales associates overheard our conversation and he gave me the information below:

1. We should be careful about SSE pistols because a lot of gun shops are doing them incorrectly and that the DOJ have been cracking down on dealers on these. The converted pistol needed to be re-marked and re-serialized for them to be legal. I've told him that I have a pistol that is a SSE and that it was never re-serialized. He said I should be OK but that...

2. I should be careful on using a SSE pistol as my primary home defense firearm. He said that since the DROS indicated that it is a single-shot, I may get into other legal issues should I ever use it against an intruder. A prosecutor may use that fact against me - converting a SSE into its original configuration from the manufacturer.

I've told him (respectfully) that I follow these threads on Calguns and I've never heard of any issues from #1 or #2. Can anyone confirm the information I was given? Or was the gun shop employee misinformed or full of it?

Thanks in advance.
