All new products have flaws that are revealed with use. Guns do not deviate from this rule. The infamous roster, which is progressive, is backdoor gun control that will assuredly lead to confiscation, has paced handgun manufacturers in treacherous positions. If they modify a semi to address flaws, it becomes a new handgun that must pass roster requirements. Micro stamping precludes modification of rostered handguns lest they are denied rostering.
My prediction is a law preventing resale of off-roster handguns. If CA DOJ determines that they're not safe for the retail market, then they must be unsafe in summa; hence, it can't allow unsafe handguns to become available for sale in the secondary marketplace. Since they're de facto unsafe handguns -according to CA DOJ- they'll have to be surrendered to governmental handgun safety agents for destruction.
I've recently bought an EMP 3. My initial conclusion that I had reached w/o sufficient deliberation was wrong. Once I figured out that had SA marketed to Californians flawless copies of EMP 3s, it would have been prevented SA from selling them in CA due to micro stamping.
Prior to buying mine, I called SA's customer service. A very cordial woman told me that I had to buy one with "CA" after the model number indicating it was approved for sale in CA. My guess is SA specifically manufacturers this model exactly as approved by CA DOJ thus enabling it to remain on the roster.
I had experienced a few problems with my EMP 3. I called SA. The customer service rep truncated our conversation after learning I that I lived in CA. It was obvious that she knew of problems associated with CA approved EMP 3s. She immediately send me a shipping label. Within 3 weeks, I had a flawless copy of an EMP 3. It's as reliable as any handgun I own, and that includes my P229, which might just be the most reliable mass produced handgun ever manufactured.
SA's decision was the right decision for CA's Second Amendment loyalists. Had it corrected design flaws, CA DOJ would've considered it a new gun requiring micro stamping; hence, it would've denied CA ability to own a flawless handgun. I'm sure that other manufacturers are mired in the same predicament. In contrast, most semi manufacturers have bailed on CA gun owners.
I will continue to support SA in every way I can. And I support its decision 100%.
The intent of micro stamping is not crime prevention nor is it solving crimes. The goal of micro stamping is denying Californians access to ALL semis. This is a done deal.
