Why would you say that. Neither of knows his intended use for the firearm. I would suggest the Glock43X
No 43X on "the list", also doesn't appear on recently removed that I can find, though some websites indicate it was legal.
As to why full size, he's in CA, though not impossible, its highly unlikely its for carry, thus unless there is a physical limitation no reason for smaller...

Go to a gun store and see how they feel in your hand and also look at the costs of the magazines. Magazines are a wear item and having a half dozen plus is a good idea. These days all seem to be pretty good.
Muslims can have several wives me as an American I just want 1 wife and a girl friend.There are so many to choose from it can be daunting, I agree. But remember this: Firearms aren't like wives - you can have more than one at any given time and there's nothing wrong with that.
Transfer... not buy. You can buy a pistol in another state, but they have to ship it to your state. Just like an online purchase.

The sale occurs in your state.
No, it doesn’t. It’s just like buying from an online gun broker, you pay them, they ship it to a local FFL and that FFL transfers it to you.
California (the OP’s state) is so restrictive, and the rules change so frequently, that most dealers will not allow you to order on line and will not ship to California. Go check out the gun you want on Gunbroker, and see what that dealer says about shipping to California.
Hypothetical question . I have an extra Glock 19 . A citizen of California is visiting me here and he wants to buy this pistol . There are no Federal restrictions on his ownership of this pistol and FTF private sales are legal here . Could he buy this pistol and bring it back to California himself ?
Not legally. You are committing a Federal Felony.

You may not get in trouble for the sale under your state’s laws, but you really should avoid breaking federal laws.
Then, in addition to the Federal felony, the buyer is committing a State Felony.

A really bad idea, all around.
Well, while California has some crazy firearm laws, your hypothetical sale is not a California issue.
The fact is that you can’t actually transfer a handgun to a resident of another state under Federal law. It has to go through an FFL.
Very easy to import on list handguns to California. The gun must be on the ca.doj list. Private ffls love to do this. The caveat is the ffl charges 60 to 80$ to do the transfer + the 4473 fee. I have purchased several law enforcement engraved Glocks gen 3 austrian manufactured over 20 years. They will not ship the hi cap standard magazines.

When you order online, do you pay your state sales tax or the sales tax in the seller’s state? The sale occurs in your state through an FFL broker. Legally the sale is not complete until you take possession. By definition, that is your state of residence.
I can answer that for Nevada. This state requires the FFL holder to collect state sales tax on any gun they distribute unless you can prove you already paid it to the retailer. Not sure how they can require a federal licencee to collect sales tax, but they do.
What peturbs me (not the word I'd like to use) is if live in California and gift one of my guns to my son that lives in Nevada, apparently I'm violating federal law. That's just wrong.
These days when you order online you already paid your state sales tax to the seller. Your local FFL can’t collect tax on money and tax you paid out of state. Best local guy can do is charge tax on his “service”…the transfer fee.
We might be saying the same thing, but I'm not sure. The last 7 weapons or receivers I've bought online and had shipped to my Nevada FFL (located at a retail store) I had to prove purchase price, and if I couldn't prove I paid Nevada state tax to the seller, they had to charge the sales tax there. There was no sales tax on the fee.
They changed the law to require FFLs to collect state sales tax on the weapon back when online retailers weren't collecting it if they didn't have a state presence. Then the trick was to order the receiver only to be shipped to the FFL, and the rest of the parts to be shipped to you, avoiding sales tax on all but the receiver (unless you were one of the 1% ers that volunteered to pay sales tax on online purchases). Once the states were able to collect on all online sales, it didn't really matter.
Absolutely the same in California. Never had an FFL ask for confirmation on paid sales tax. He never made a sale to me of any product. Only provided a service. There is no sales tax on labor in California. Just had tires shipped from priority tires to major tire retailer. No questions asked just paid tax on four valve stems 68 cents plus mount and balance.
