UC Davis' take on Microstamping
From Caleb at "Call me Ahab", a study by UC Davis that calls into question the efficacy of the microstamping.
Key quotes:
At the present time, therefore, because its forensic potential has yet to be fully assessed, a mandate for the implementation of this technology in all new semiautomatic handguns sold in the state of California is counter-indicated.and
The vendor was supplied with 14 firing pins which were subsequently engraved at a cost of $3,500 or ~ $250.00 per firing pin.Funny, they kept telling us that it wouldn't be so expensive...
Go read Caleb's assessment...
