Sacramento, CA — California lawmakers have signed into effect Bill SB420.69 which defines the new term "super assault pistol." One manufacturer has already created CA-compliant pistol fin grips to loophole around certain features.

The new bill outlines super assault pistols as having any of the following characteristics:

    Because all modern handguns meet at least one of these criteria, a grip fin is now required for all handguns.

    However, law enforcement is exempt.

    One entrepreneurial firearms accessory company, Tactical SEAL Sheepdog Warfare Inc, has already released a CA-compliant pistol fin grip that separates the hands.

    This setup removes the possibility of a comfortable pistol grip which increases safety, noted the new bill's proponents.

    Other benefits of the Tactical SEAL Sheepdog Warfare's Freeedom-Boi Grip (patent and trademark pending) include:

      The Freeedom-Boi Grip retails for $129.99 and is compatible with full-size and compact super assault pistols. The Freeedom-Boi Grip Mini retails for $109.99 and is compatible with sub-compact pistols.

      Customers can also choose from a handful of playful images to mix-and-match onto their Freeedom-Boi Grip for an additional $49.
