FFL to FFL question

[FLAWLS1]

Ok, so I have a uncle in Florida that's a FFL dealer and I'm trying to get a Sig Sauer 1911 Scorpion. As you guys know, it's not on the roster and I'm trying to find out if it would be legal if he can ship to a shop that's licensed to do the SSE. Do any of you guys know? My uncle hasn't got back to me yet hence this thread.

From my limited knowledge about SSE's that seems fine...

Others who have more knowledge might chime in

Short answer: yes.

There's nothing illegal about a CA FFL receiving an off-Roster handgun; it's legal to sell off-Roster handguns to LEOS and LE agencies.

Getting the buy-in from the CA FFL to do the SSE is the only obstacle. If your chosen FFL is willing and able, should be smooth sailing.

Awesome, looks like a Scorpion will be in my possession in the near future. Thanks everyone!

My uncle just text me and told me he wouldn't be able to ship? I even spoke with Direct Action Solutions and explained the situation and they said it would be legal.

He said "That's the info I got from the Florida Dept DDAJ"

no other state wants to deal with ca. and how would the fl "ddaj" or doj equivalent have a clue about ca laws? its perfectly legal but still may not happen because of the other 47 states caution on what is legal/illegal to have in ca. sse from one of the local guys. may cost a little more but you wont be stuck trying to convince your uncle to do something he may not be 100% comfortable doing. (while perfectly legal)

Yeah, that's what will probably end up happening. The bright side is, he can send me a SA 1911 TRP for pretty cheap compared to retail.

Sigh.

It's bad enough when our own DOJ seems unable to give correct information. When the state agencies in other states add their mistakes, it gets really sad.

Why not just buy the same gun from Michael at www.EBRWorks.com ? I think he has them in stock and he is already in California. http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/s...19#post7756619

Yeah, I completely agree

Thanks for the reply and referral. I called them and they have some, BUT they won't be able to ship it because they don't have enough SSE barrels. I'd rather not take the drive up there. Oh, how lovely CA is.

Quite honestly that is a deal I would just on...

TRP.
