Based on our insanely-restrictive California firearms laws, that beautiful Mk IV Turnbull Ruger I showed in the blog below is not available in my home state. It seems the gun doesn’t have a feature on the firing pin that would allow for identifying the firearm from a shell casing in the unlikely case it was ever used in a crime. It’s called microstamping, and rather than implement it on this gun, Ruger basically told California to, well, you can imagine. Ah, well, that’s one new toy I won’t be getting. I suppose I could send the barrel from my old Mk I to Turnbull for the color case hardening treatment, but I really wanted that new Mk IV.
Win some, lose some, I guess.
