    First PPT/Handgun purchase in CA

    So I am meeting someone today to make my first private party transfer (as long as I like the SR45 I'm looking at). Any recommendations for a noobie? We will be using Beach Pawn in Stanton for the FFL? Is $530 a fair price for a BNIB Ruger SR45? they are no longer on the roster so I can't pick one up from a dealer but have found them new for around $450. Thanks for the time and input.

    Don't worry about money, get what you want. Nice weapon.

    Bring HSC, 2 forms of ID and you're good.

    Good luck and welcome to Cal Guns!

      I agree with Bob, Shouldn't worry too much about the price. Get what makes you happy, buy lots of ammo and go shoot it to your hearts content. You can look into doing SSE (May not be available next year) if you find something you can't live without and is not on roster. Good luck with your quest, I'm sure this first will be many more to come. Welcome to Calguns.

        If Beach Pawn doesn't work out, try Straightline Tactical. They're not too far away and I've done several PPTs there without a hitch and quick too

          Be on time.
          Bring drivers license and car registration with current address.
          $530 is a fair price if you think it is. Otherwise, see if they'll consider taking less or be prepared to walk. No different than buying a used car...

            Thanks for the responses. Completed the transaction earlier this evening at Beach Loan Services, they were great, everything was great. Can't wait to pick it up and take it to the range! Thanks again for the help.

                Cool. I hope they didn't charge you more then 35 for the PPT?

                  They charged me the $35 they were supposed too. They were very easy and pleasant to deal with during the process.
