SA TRP - PC9108LP - off roster?

[Itry2hide]

Has anyone had problems registering a SA TRP in CA? I just purchased a TRP model PC9108LP. Both the seller and my FFL in California said the "P" wouldn't cause any problems. I hope so, 'cause it just shipped to my CA FFL today.

The P at the end normally indicates that it is a package deal, so it will include the holster and mag pouches. Some FFLs will shy away from it because it is not the EXACT same model number that is on the roster, but most will run your paperwork no problem as it is the same gun.

The "P" at the end of the model number is fine and not the issue. Every new Springfield Armory handgun comes with the "package" now.

The issue is that Springfield changed the grips on the PC9108LP to G10 grips. They only ship the CA Roster Approved wood grips with the TRP shipments that are intended for sale in CA. So, if you bought this TRP from out of state, it is very likely an off-roster TRP. The model number will match the CA Roster but unless is has the wood grips, Springfield slaps a "Not Legal In California" sticker on the package and it needs to be SSE'ed.

You should ask the seller if the package included the wood grips.

Seller said he included CA approval documentation. Hope that's the case.

I ran into the same issue when I purchased my TRP. The seller thought it wasn't legal to sell in California so I had to send him a copy of the handgun roster to show him it was legal. After that, he shipped it to my FFL without any further problems.

That is not the same as the grips. The other poster is correct. If it doesn't come with the wood grips and G10 only, it is off roster.

CA versions include both grips in the box.

The G-10 grips makes the gun very unsafe. CA=joke

Did yours come with the wood grips? This whole thing is crazy. Off roster because of grips?

Now I'm a little worried. Does anyone know who does SSE in or around the SF Bay Area? The TRP is on the truck, being delivered on Monday. This would really suck if I have to get the gun SSE'd. Heck, I don't even know of the TRP can be SSE'd...

Tracy rifle and pistol probably can if needed.

TRP is a 1911 type pistol. Anybody doing SSE can do this gun.

So, I have the TRP SSE'd. Which means the barrel is swapped out for a longer one, and some kind of magazine block is installed. I then finalize the transaction with my FFL, and walk out of the store with my single shot exempt TRP. I then walk back in, and the process is reversed. Now my TRP is "California Legal".

Is there any special documentation, or pictures that need to be submitted to the state?

I mean, hypothetically, how does the CA DOJ know that an SSE conversion was performed?

No, mine came with the dark gray Larry Davidson grips.

I had to SSE my TRP as well. Got mine done at Solar Tactical in Livermore. They told that once the gun is registered as a single shot, it doesn't matter what you do with the pistol after you pick up.

When I did it, the FFL filled in "Single Shot Exemption" on some form. Maybe it was the DROS form, to be honest, I never read past the part where I sign my name on the DROS form.

So the dealer does mark it somewhere.

Usually, aside from the SSE fee, it's mostly transparent to the customer.
