LE Only Weapons

[JGreen83]

Hello all,

This is likely a very stupid question, but are LE only weps like the all black P226 Legion off the table for civilians?

I believe it's just a color option, nothing else different about it, and don't really know how LE Only weps work, unless it's exactly as it sounds.

Thanks!

LE only means they are off roster. CANNOT buy new. Find one of what you want ppt but be prepared to pay a premium

Its not a matter of being law enforcement. Its a matter of the California roster of allowable handguns. LEO's are exempt from the roster and can buy any handgun they like. The rest of us are stuck choosing from a narrow and dated list of handguns. The only way to acquire an off roster handgun is to purchase one for a private party. You'll pay a big premium for this.

14 Amendment violation, plain and simple. Please notice there isn't any mention of "super immunities or carve outs for law enforcement".

No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

In california, the sheeple must buy from a list of approved firearms... handguns mainly.....


Law Enforcement can use a letter from their Chief and buy a firearm that is not available to the sheeple....

In other states, say Nevada, anyone can buy them....

I've been supporting law enforcement by paying them the premium to buy some off roster stuff.

A Legion has never been on the roster, in any color. They are different inside (trigger for instance) compared to a standard P226.

You can get what you want, but it will be difficult and expensive. Like double retail $$.

Or you could just get a nice, off roster P226 and put the Legion (Grayguns P-SAIT) trigger and a Grayguns sear/SRT kit in. Even better IMO, and they are usually all black

Easier to understand answer: you cannot buy one new. You can 1: buy one used from another CA resident 2: import one as a new resident (if you already owned it when you moved to CA) or 3: receive one as a gift from a grandparent/parent or child that is a resident of another state. The first one is expensive, the second is a limited circumstance, and the third only works if it's a true gift.

CA LE keep us safe using "unsafe handguns". Just sayin

California is the "Cuba" of the gun world. Stuck in an old era.

any colored legion is off roster, and they are the same functionally as an enhanced elite (legal) with only cosmetic differences (and awesome grips).

you can make your own version, or buy used at a premium via ppt.

i made my own P229 clone, and bought a P226 via PPT.

as far as why it isn't on the roster, i think it comes down to if SIG wanted to deal with it, and who wants a legion with that stupid pop up LCI?

It has nothing to do with what Sig wants or does not want to do. In order to get a new semi-auto pistol on the roster, it must implement microstamping.

Since microstamping is a fictional technology, no new pistols can ever be added until either someone invents a microstamping scheme that works or the courts overturn the law.

In Idaho as well. In the Walmart parking lot. With a handshake, and some friendly conversation......

And the cali constitution:

several other sig models are on the roster, so not sure what you mean.
are you saying no new models have been added for over 5 years?
that sucks.
