What pistol is it? Make sure it's on the safe list, otherwise he can't send it to your FFL here.

If you buy it in FL as an FL, from a FL resident, then you are OK federally. As long as FL allows for paperless transfers, you are OK per FL rules.

Then, when you return to CA, you should be able to file a "new resident" registration, http://ag.ca.gov/firearms/forms/pdf/ab991frm.pdf , on it. I've heard of this being acceptable, but am not sure. Not sure how CA treats the scenario of people that have dual-residensy.
