It’s really not hard to get in just dm any of the million vendors and ask if they have extra badges.

I went with a media badge one year

A bunch of hackers went last year with fake badges and posted pics and stories about it. It’s not like some exclusive show to get into half the attendees are gun nerds in cargo shorts and grease stained grunt style shirts

I think I'll try harder next year.

Man, everyone is tight lipped about the bodyguard 2.0

Seriously. Does it mean it’s coming, or that it isn’t? Seems like it would sell incredibly well, way more than some of the other pistols that have been jumping through the hoops to get on roster.
 
In regards to the bodyguard 2.0, I think, that if it was not coming, they'd be quick to say NO. They probably have an NDA and are chomping at the bit to say YES, but cannot.

Correct me if im wrong, but there wasn't a peep out of anyone about the shield x or the optics ready 2.0's before they appeared on the roster.

My wife and I will both buy a BG 2.0 if they hit california. I've been toying with buying one off roster, but hard to swallow 1k if the california one is right around the corner.

Yup, would be a quick buy for me too. I just don’t personally feel comfortable with the internal safeties of the Lcp max.

Good point about the absence of a “no” is probably a good sign.

This is my personal opinion only. I don’t like that there isn’t a firing pin block, hammer block, or hammer transfer bar. There’s only the sear and a backup notch preventing the hammer from falling and hitting the firing pin.

As such I wouldn’t ever feel comfortable pocket carrying it, or carrying in general, especially if I’m out jogging. I haven’t heard any reports about unintentional discharges, but if it had a firing pin block I’d probably have already purchased one.

Man i've been really waiting for the VP9A1F like no ones business. Please tell me CZ P09 nocturne is still coming. I know you don't care for a 10mm... but my heart earns for an MP 2.0 10mm. Also tell the S&W to see if we can get guns without the thumb safety please... thank you for listening to my request.

I bought a VP9A1F in December at Guns Direct in Burbank. I think they still have done.

Not sure if this makes you feel any better but just an FYI - The LCP Max hammer is only 3/4 cocked with a round in the chamber. The trigger pull pulls the hammer the remaining way back before releasing. There are a few youtube videos on this.

Indeed. However it’s always seemed more like a small camming, and I feel it’s enough potential force to still fire a round. Even glocks partially compressed striker can do so. There haven’t been any reported problems, and hopefully it stays that way, but I wouldn’t ever feel completely comfortable carrying it.

I picked up a walther PD380 recently. Hammer fired. When safety is on theres a hammer block. Ive tested it myself at the range. The hammer still functions but the gun doesn't shoot. Im new to carrying and this feels pretty safe for me. I wont carry something without an external safety, but I do own guns without them.

I feel comfortable carrying without an external thumb safety as long as the internal ones seem robust and redundant.

Nice with the Walther 380. Always thought a slim lightweight DA/SA was a missed opportunity. Add another strike against our insane roster for keeping so much away from us.
 
Multiple people at Sig at shot show said they are working on a P211 for CA. But couldn't commit to the GTO specifically when I asked. Wouldn't be surprised if we get GT4 and/or GT5, but not GTO. Hope I'm wrong!

I’m hoping that eventually Sig makes that comp as a one piece barrel like Staccatos
 
So…what are the chances Ruger makes an RXM that complies with the Glock ban AND is CA Roster’d?

Really hoping someone (Glock or Ruger) other than Shadow Systems offers a G17/G19/G45 option.
