Hi Everyone! Happy New Year!
Can you tell me your experience with the Single Shot Exemption.
1. Which FFL dealer did you go?
2. how much was the fee?
3. was it risky or a hassle?
4. do you recomend it?
5. what gun did you get?

thanks in advance

PRK Arms, Fresno

MSRP + DROS + Tax

The only hassle was driving 6 hours round trip to Fresno from LA twice to DROS the gun and then pick it up 2 years ago; now a days there are gunshops closer to LA willing to do SSE

PRK is great albeit a bit far; CA's Roster should not be a barrier if you want to purchase something and SSE is a great way to do it

XDM45 4.5"

Les Baer will not ship to ANY California FFL

Bad news if you want a Les Baer 1911

They will only ship the 10 models that are on the California roster to any FFL in California (01FFL or 07FFL). It doesn't matter if its the FFL making the order, it doesn't matter if they tell them that its for sale to law enforcement or whatever. If the receiving site (FFL) is in California, it has to be a roster gun.

If you want a Les Baer, you have to use an FFL outside CA that is willing to do SSEs for CA. Have them receive and convert, then ship to a CA FFL willing to do SSEs and DROS it. Then convert it back once you have legal possession of the gun.

Or just have an out of state 3rd party FFL re-ship to your CA SSE dealer...TableRock will do this for example.

Or you can just order from Proload or Hammonds who will both ship to CA.
