Is my gun Microstamping?

[dean12692]

Sorry if this is a dumb question but i bought a CZ75b brand new about a month ago, is this gun micro stamping or is just on new models that are required to microstamp?

[Librarian]

Just new, and probably not yet available, models.

It does not appear that 'microstamping' yet exists as a real technology.

Your gun does not have microstamping.
Any gun currently sold will not do microstamping. As of a few months ago, it is required on a gun in order to be added to the roster . Since the technology is not currently viable, no new models will be added anytime soon.

Edit: Librarian beat me to it.

Librarian again is the voice of reason and the wealth of information.

thanks guys

Seems to be quite a few people out there who think microstamping is being implemented, I had 2 friends tell me that you can't currently buy a handgun without microstamping technology. I had to link them to a few threads here on calguns.

I don't believe that's the case. The way I understand it, manufacturers can't add anything new to the roster w/o microstamping. Anything that's currently on the roster is fair game in its current configuration (i.e. no microstamping) as long as the manufacturer continues to pay up and renew it.

Exactly correct (with emphasis on 'current configuration', i.e. 'as it was when placed on the Roster').

How can that be required legally if the technology is not available.

Sorry what I meant to communicate was that the 2 people who talked to me thought that all new handguns that you currently buy have microstamping, so you "can't buy one without it". Ones words were "it's too bad you sold your old handgun, all the new ones have that stupid microstamping stuff", as if the technology was actually being currently implemented.

I'm well aware of the roster processes.

Quit using common sense. That's not allowed when discussing politicians or the laws they makeup.

I think the point is "it can be done" but it is not viable and it won't last more that ~ 1 to 10 shots then it will not show up anymore (at lest it will not be readable) it will add $$ to the cost of a gun thus make it harder for people to exercise there rights.

it really is just a feel good law for those that think if you outlaw enough things then we will all be safe.

Think bigger picture: gun manufactures WON'T put microstamping capabilities on guns (regardless of whether the tech exists or not) therefore the law will effectively outlaw new production handguns for sale in California.

[Marktallica]

Exactly. They can't directly ban firearms in CA, so they do things they impose regulations they know no one can reasonably comply with. And then Mr. Brown and Mz. Feinstein have the nerve to talk about how we need to attract more business to CA.
