XDM 5.25

[lite_x]

Hello All,

Assuming I understand everything I have been reading and assuming the XDM 5.25 can be purchased in Florida ...

My fiances father (lives in Florida) could purchase the gun, gift it to her and she could give it to me(PPT)?

As for the mags, would he be able to disassemble them and send along with the gun so they could be modified to only accept 10 rounds"?


TIA All

Yea there shouldnt be a problem there. If he breaks the mags down and sends them as pieces then they would be considered rebuild kits so they are legal to have. You would have to block them using one of the approved methods before you would be able to assemble them and use them.

Are they going to bring it over here? If I remember correctly, they can't ship it because it's off list. Tell them to break down mags and its all good. Once she gets the gun PPT.

It can be shipped to a California FFL or brought in by the person gifting the firearm. It must go through a California FFL.

From the Wiki:

A Brief "How To Do It" Interstate, Intrafamily

For an interstate intrafamily handgun transfer, an FFL is required because of Federal law. (Don't count on either the California Department of Justice or many FFLs to remember Federal law.) Filing just a form with the State does not meet the requirements of Federal law.
The out of state family member may bring the handgun to a CA FFL, or ship it to the FFL if the FFL is willing to accept shipment from a non-FFL.
Off-roster handguns may not be sold, but intrafamily gifts are transferable.
Provide a letter of gift - something like

<Date>
I, Joe Blow, want my son, John Blow, to have
this nice Colt Python revolver, S/N 123456.

Signed, Joe Blow

John comes to the CA FFL and does paperwork
If the handgun is off-roster, the FFL completes the Roster-exemption part of DROS screen and writes in "12078PC intrafamily transfer".
The FFL keeps (a copy of) the gift letter in his files just in case of audit questions.
Since this transfer will run through DROS, no other form is needed.
Note that this is still an interstate transfer, and the FFL may charge any fee for this service he may think appropriate.
Hat-tip to CalGunner and Calguns Foundation Board Member Bill Wiese for the process description.
