Well my work maybe taking me from the great state of Texas to Cali... Work calls I guess.

From what I understand, you can bring whatever handgun into the state. The handgun "roster" only applies to buy INSIDE Cali from a FFL dealer.

In this case, which handguns would you buy/take?

Somethings to consider:
- 10 round capacity
- There are alot of handguns off the "roster", so this maybe my only chance of having one of those.

Let's here your thoughts!

Could you be more specific? =)

STI 2011's or 1911's? Full guns? Lower's?
 
Re: Moving to Cali, which handguns would you take?

STI in either configuration is not on the "Approved" handgun lists so with that being said you have your choice being out of state now to purchase them. I would buy a 2011 either frame kit or built gun you cant go wrong.

What, if any, handguns do you currently own, like, or have experience with. As it is your question is pretty wide open.

Are you looking for something to use in a HD capacity? Competition? Other?

Are you thinking that this is your opportunity to own some super great pistol that you may not be able to buy once inside CA?

Take as many STI frames into Cali as you can. They're like hen's teeth there.
