Hk Mark 23 California Legal
California residents who already face limited supply due to state laws will once again reduce their options for legal handguns. The law is highly controversial among gun owners. Exclusions that allow the purchase and use of «dangerous» handguns by law enforcement officials have given rise to several high-profile scandals in recent years involving black market sales to civilians. The H&K USP handgun line, short for Universal Self-Loading Pistol, has been in production since 1993. Available in the most common calibers, they remain a popular choice among collectors and shooting enthusiasts across the country. «The 6. In May 2022, Heckler & Koch handguns USP9 V1, USP40 V1, Compact USP45 V1, Compact USP40 V1, USP 40 Expert V9, USP 45 Expert V1, USP40C-LEM, USP Compact 9 Stainless V1, USP Compact 45 Stainless V1, USP Compact 40 Stainless V1 and USP 45 Elite were removed from the California Code of Regulations` list of certified handguns. Title 11, Section 4070(c),» reads a California Department of Justice bulletin distributed to licensed firearms dealers in the state. «If you have any further questions, please contact Heckler & Koch.» The decertification of popular and previously licensed handguns underscores the impact of one of the strangest laws in a state known for its restrictive gun policy. Gun owners reacted to the news of the revocation of certification in online forums. The comments reviewed by The Reload show that many owners were shocked and confused, while others denounced the state`s gun policy more broadly. Neither the California Department of Justice nor Heckler & Koch responded to a request for comment on the decision to remove the pistol line. «Oh man, this whole roster thing is blowing up,» FNGGLock user wrote on the CalGuns forum.
«I`m glad I got mine last year, but people should be able to get USPs.» The California Department of Justice announced Friday that all USP line pistols from popular gun manufacturer Heckler & Koch (H&K) have been removed from the state-approved handgun list. As a result, pistols can «no longer be sold, offered for sale or manufactured» in the state. It is not immediately clear why the pistols were suddenly «decertified.» The state may remove a handgun from the approved list under applicable California law if a firearms manufacturer fails to pay the state the annual maintenance fee required by law, if the approved handgun model is changed in any way after certification, or if it deems the handgun «dangerous» upon further review.
