    SVI Infinity

    I know that there is one steel and one polymer model on the approved list, but since most of the SVI guns are more or less a la carte, does anyone know which configuration, specifically is approved for sale in CA?

    Really? I don't see SVI or STI on the approved list. Is it possible they go by another name?

    I thought that STI / SVI let themselves fall off the handgun list as a protest against the microstamping bill?

      If you go to the SVI website, http://www.stiguns.com/, you put together either the wide body (polymer grip) or single stack. Go to the bottom of the "Build your gun" page. The California legal guns are there. Another option are the Barsto guns. I believe they are made under license from STI.

        SVI is Strayer Voight on the list. STI was never listed anyways.

        You can go to SVI's webpage, sign up and start a pistol builder. One of the options is for a CA gun. You can get an idea through the options provided what your gun will be like.

              FYI. You could just order the SAME gun from Bar-Sto precision. Competition ready in .40 S&W. STI will no longer sell guns to CA. SVI does and will customize them, after it's DROS'ed and transfer completed.

                yup the barsto-40 is on the list and is made up of primarily STI parts, the only difference is the trigger has a slightly heavier pull (easily smoothed out). if you want to check one out, rettings has one in stock ($2100-ish)

                    I don't blame STI for taking that stand. In fact If all the gun manufacturers would take the same stand I wouldn't blame them too. I'm sure not all manufacturers will take that stand, there's too much revenues coming from CA.

                      The Bar-sto guns need a triggerjob and refinishing, they are basically in the white.
                      SVI has an approved pistol, but it will need to be reconfigured to you needs (new top end).
                      Some gunsmiths sell 2011's (jojo vidanes is one) at prices that make the other options seem reasonable.
                      Finding a way around the approved list can save you some cash, but that isn't available to everyone.
                      If you shoot local matches and ask around, somebody is always selling a S_I used.

                        I know how to get off-list frames into the state.

                          I have 6 or 7 or so extra for future and just in case builds. A Caspian frame for a friend too.

                            Make sure you take up a collection to get a bunch more STI frames before you move back into the state.
