I emailed a club near me asking to attend their shoots to learn more. Their site only list events, but did not say if their shoots are open to the general public. I like to attend to see BP in action and ask questions. I'm guessing they are open to the general public and welcome inquires. :)
So far I haven't found a shop locally that carries anything BP except one and they are asking above retail as they only order as requested. :( As someone mentioned it seems like online is the way to go, but to ship BP they have to charge a $28 hazard fee. Are there exceptions to this? I've...
I really appreciate the feedback. There is so much to learn. I'm going to write down what you shared on an index card.

Two dealers I went to said Colt Series 70 can't be purchased in CA yet when I go to the CA handgun approved roster it appears to have two listed. Below is the listing. I'm I wrong about these being Series 70?
O1070 NRA / Stainless Steel Pistol 5" .45 ACP 1/1/2016
O1070XSE / Stainless Steel...
^^^ thank you for your reply. It sounds exactly what I'm looking for. How did you find it shoots out of the box? While I don't mind fixed sights for a gun that will be pretty much a range gun for me, I've come to like adjustable sights. Still it's not a deal breaker and I can always buy one if i...
