somewhere I have read that to be conform with Californian law, magazine can only feed 10 rounds? So if you buy a handgun originally made for 14, 15 or 16 rounds, in California it must be adapted for 10 rounds?

In the U.S., back in '94, the Clinton Gun Ban mandated a 10 rnd limit (now expired). Gun makers adjusted to 10 rnd. mags and the major mag manufacturers still make them for the States who limit rounds to 10.
I have a few for Glock and Sigs I purchased during that time period I use occasionally at the range.

If you already have standard capacity mags, products also exist to block your magazines to 10 rounds if you have magazines that need to be converted to that capacity.

Merry Christmas everybody

Denis.

Nice!

Merry Christmas to you too.

Merry Christmas! Nice collection!!!

Interesting and informative post. Thanks, and welcome to the forum. Many good people meet here to share knowledge and experiences.

Welcome to the forum, it’s the best place on the internet!
You definitely got a great deal, gorgeous pistol, congratulations. I can’t believe what you have to go through to have a pistol, you are a true shooter, people here, not here on Sigforum obviously, but in the US in general, don’t realize how precious the 2nd amendment is.
Again, welcome, happy you’re here, enjoy, this is definitely my 2nd family.

Nice collection Denis

Thank you for the interesting post.

Merry Christmas and welcome to the forum!

Merci Denis and thank you for the very informative post. We have good friends in Lyon but don’t know if they are in the shooting sports. I’ll have to ask them next time we talk.

Bonjour Denis- where do you shoot/belong?
I normally shoot at the Shooting club Adamois (NB Armurerie)
There are also some ways to legally own and bring in a firearm as a US citizen with French residency. It's not that easy, but it is much less involved than the typical French way that you have outlined above. I belong to a shooting club, I can rent whatever from the club and legally have my own Class B firearms, but I have never shot a pellet gun, .22 or any of that stuff or had to wait a year.
