What Happens When You Try to Buy a Handgun Not on the Roster?

[linkstate]

Possibility #1 ‐ It's on the Roster , but it's confusing as to how it's listed as to actual physical manufacturer, primary associated brand name , or importer .

Possibility #1.5 - It's probably OK , but confusion over slight details of configuration or marketing, as to being the same gun .

Possibility #2- It's actually not on Roster, and needs to be submitted .

IME, this is the answer.

Ruger’s have been the worst when trying to find the right entry. Especially their single actions and Mk series. The’ve made a million variations over the years. The MSP move to n/a on SKUs has helped.

If a gun you already possess that was sold to you by an FFL, is later to be found "not on the roster", that's on MSP and perhaps the FFL. Not the buyer. They're the gatekeepers of legality in the sale, not you.

I think MSP would share no burden. Wrong info submitted by the ffl is mainly the only way this can happen and from what I’ve seen it happens and no real issues arise because the firearm is typically added anyway.
