Sig and CA Roster

[Sizzlechest]

Just looked at the Roster and I see 2 models of the P238 and a few P226 in 9 mm that are available till 1/1/17. Is there a way to know if they will renew or are they done after this date for good?

[Tovarish]

We don't have the luxury of finding out until the expiration. Usually they are renewed. However SIG is moving to a new factory, so that may throw a wrench in the formula.

We will have to wait and see.

And if they renew it will only be the current models listed or will they add more?

[IVC]

They cannot add more due to "microstamping" requirement. Nobody can.

What you see from time to time as "new models" is either a current model that is being cosmetically modified (Colt does this a lot with some of their "commemorative edition" 1911s,) or a model that has been approved in the past and is being reintroduced (must be exactly the same as the old model.)

[IVC]

A solid bet is that any gun already on the roster and in current production will be renewed unless CA DOJ declines due to change in the manufacturing process.

You can also e-mail the manufacturer and ask. I did it for NAA mini revolver years ago and they told me they would renew, so I could get my SSE-s in first.

They should all just stop renewing, then we'd have a really good case per Heller decision to toss out this defacto ban on handguns.

Would be nice but most of them are not willing to give up the profits from California sales.
