Magnum Research guns added to roster

For pistols only.
When you look at the model # if * is after the model number it is new to Roster.
When a manufacture changes color/grips/sights......it is not "new" so no *
Some had just description, manufacture added the model # or added "CA" on a current on Roster.
Resulting in added list with new model number but same firearm, only a few have done this.
An asterisk (*) next to the model name below indicates that the handgun was added pursuant to the court's order in Boland v. Bonta. C.D. Cal. Case No. 8:22-cv-1421-CJC-ADS [Dkts. 60, 61]; 9th Circuit Case No. 23-55276 [Dkt. 7].
32030. (a) A firearm shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of subdivision (a) of Section 32015 if another firearm made by the same manufacturer is already listed and the unlisted firearm differs from the listed firearm only in one or more of the following features:
(1) Finish, including, but not limited to, bluing, chrome-plating, oiling, or engraving.
(2) The material from which the grips are made.
(3) The shape or texture of the grips, so long as the difference in grip shape or texture does not in any way alter the dimensions, material, linkage, or functioning of the magazine well, the barrel, the chamber, or any of the components of the firing mechanism of the firearm.
(4) Any other purely cosmetic feature that does not in any way alter the dimensions, material, linkage, or functioning of the magazine well, the barrel, the chamber, or any of the components of the firing mechanism of the firearm.
(b) Any manufacturer seeking to have a firearm listed under this section shall provide to the Department of Justice all of the following:
(1) The model designation of the listed firearm.
(2) The model designation of each firearm that the manufacturer seeks to have listed under this section.
(3) A statement, under oath, that each unlisted firearm for which listing is sought differs from the listed firearm only in one or more of the ways identified in subdivision (a) and is in all other respects identical to the listed firearm.
(c) The department may, in its discretion and at any time, require a manufacturer to provide to the department any model for which listing is sought under this section, to determine whether the model complies with the requirements of this section.
(Added by Stats. 2010, Ch. 711, Sec. 6. (SB 1080) Effective January 1, 2011. Operative January 1, 2012, by Sec. 10 of Ch. 711.)


Most of these were already on roster. Did they fall off at some point and had to get readded?
No, they did not "fall off"
Yes, models can be added back to Roster.
If the manufacturer decides to resubmit a previously "fallen of Roster" or can prove "removed" firearm meets the original manufacturing.
32025. A handgun model removed from the roster pursuant to subdivision (d) of Section 32020 may be reinstated on the roster if all of the following are met:
(a) The manufacturer petitions the Attorney General for reinstatement of the handgun model.
(b) The manufacturer pays the Department of Justice for all of the costs related to the reinstatement testing of the handgun model, including the purchase price of the handguns, prior to reinstatement testing.
(c) The reinstatement testing of the handguns shall be in accordance with subdivisions (b) and (c) of Section 32020.
(d) The three handgun samples shall be tested only once for reinstatement. If the sample fails it may not be retested.
(e) If the handgun model successfully passes testing for reinstatement, and if the manufacturer of the handgun is otherwise in compliance with Sections 31900 to 32110, inclusive, the Attorney General shall reinstate the handgun model on the roster maintained pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 32015.
(f) The manufacturer shall provide the Attorney General with the complete testing history for the handgun model.
(g) Notwithstanding subdivision (a) of Section 32020, the Attorney General may, at any time, further retest any handgun model that has been reinstated to the roster.

A new twist is submitting a removed firearm.
This happened to the S&W SD9VE
Was removed for #32020 and S&W submitted the new production.

A DE was my first SSE1 pistol (I wanted it in 50AE vs 44mag without a conversion barrel).

Still have it, though of course I ended up getting the 44mag conversion for the 50AE, haha!!

Man those were the days…any pistol could be SSE’d, as long as there was a barrel for it, and for not much more than free-state prices.
