For those under 21...

[FNH5-7]

I want a .38 Super Colt, PRE-WAR for my 21st b-day but California laws are crazy I find it kinda weird that I can buy an ar15 type rifle but I cant have a .38 super shipped to California, and there isn't any on the roster either :/

Got my first handgun...an all German made Sig Sauer SP2022. Triple serial numbers with German proof markings.

Congrats

I used to have an SP2009. I didnt really like it too much at the time but now I kinda regret selling it. It grew on me after I sold it. Thats life, I guess

sig 226 for sure I just love the ergonomics of that gun. I want the Blackwater tactical model if I can get one in two years when I turn 21

[SVPRApps]

a 1911

OP: I have that exact same pistol in stainless steel. I like everything about it but GI Sights suck. I am having Novaks put on it. You may want to spend a couple of hundred more and get something with better sights, stock, if you want to use it for target shooting.

[GunNutz]

Oh, and since it's GI, you will have to either restake the front sight or have a dovetail milled.

I'm in the same position, going to be 21 in a few months. I've decided that my first handgun is going to be a Ruger SR9.

If you're under 21, you can still own a handgun by having a parent buy it and transfer it to you.

Yes, it's true. If your parent or grandparent or spouse is also a California resident then they can transfer a handgun that they own to you if you are at least 18 years of age. You need to have an HSC first, and then send in the Intra-familial/Op-Law form to CalDOJ along with $19 to register the handgun in your name.

I just thought I'd add to this thread seeing as I'll be 21 in less than a month now. I'm planning on getting a GLOCK 27. I got to shoot and fondle one the other day after deciding that it was the gun I wanted and it felt great!

Its a bit late for buying a different model instead since I've owned the GI for about 7 months now. My initial plan was to have the GI upgraded... more or less make into a SA Loaded. But as time went on, I just convinced myself to buy a Loaded. Thats the plan now, but I dont suspect I'll get to that in awhile. I've got other expen$ive things on my plate.
