New legislation would expand the law to include weapons used by law enforcement, which are currently exempt. The thinking is that forcing police officers into the marketplace would prompt manufacturers to improve technology so they can sell the weapons to members of law enforcement.

That's a rather simplistic view of a complex tech problem that no one has of yet been able to figure out. Never mind that the industry may just give up on Calif all together. One market isn't going to make or break any of them when there are 49 others that out buy that one market now.

Current ongoing discussion thread about this topic (AB876. LEO duty handgun microstamping).

Won't make a difference. How many cops etc are in CA? Say 100,000. Figure they get a new work gun every 10 years. Doing the math that's only 10,000 a year spread over several manufacturers. A drop on the bucket.

ON/OFF roster wouldn't matter. All semi auto pistols carried by LE would require "microstamp tech".

Well, since microstamping really isn't feasible, I guess we'll all go back to wheel guns. ��

Ruger redhawks and S&W TRR8s all around!
