I'm glad you posted that. I wasn't interested in the 4" (even though it is a very decent deal) and didn't check it out, but that's a great deal on a 3" !!

Looks like they are out of stock on the 3" and they raised the price $10 on the 4".

Dumb question that you guys probably know the answer to... why does the ad say "This gun is not legal in Calif."? Not that I care I guess, but if there was a gun I own that I thought was OK in CA, it's one of my revolvers.

Back on topic... seriously considering one of these.

California requires that a handgun that is new or being sent to the state in a transfer must be on an approved list of "safe" handguns that have been through a specific test.

Most of these older handguns have not been through this test, even though practically identical versions are approved.

I don't believe it applies to moving into CA with a firearm and it doesn't apply to those owned in CA before the test was required.

I AM NOT an expert in CA firearms laws, not that anyone could be. This is my best guess from memory of reading things on the subject.

Thanks for the info. Reminds me that I'm glad I live in NV.

CA, has a DOJ approved list of guns. Before a gun can get on the DOJ list the maker has to pay CA to test and approve there gun when approved it can be imported, bought and sold in CA. Every few years the guns must be re approved once a maker quits making a certain model he will no longer pay to have it tested therefore it is dropped from the list and can not be imported to CA. If the gun in question is already in state and registered it is legal in CA you just cannot bring anymore in. Short version CA is shaking down the gun makers to pay for these tests and the gun makers do it because of the size of CA. market.

That's correct, but CA doesn't actually 'register' guns, so they really can't pinpoint when you first acquired a gun or when it actually came into the state.

Anything purchased prior to the state requiring weapons go through a background check are off the books, so to speak. I can't recall off hand when the background check requirement happened, but I believe it was in the nineties.

Before I bailed out, I had guns I'd owned twenty or thirty years that the state had no knowledge of, but were perfectly legal for me to own.
