Ruger New Redhawk CA compliant?

[SamGoldstein]

Is this gun ever gonna be on the CA roster? I thought that revolvers don't have a microstamp requirement just yet.

Revolvers are not subject to the microstamping fantasy technology that semi-auto pistols must include to be added to the CA Approved Handgun Roster. The only issues preventing a revolver from being added are that the manufacturer must submit copies for testing (and pay the extortion fees) and the firearm in question must pass the (chuckle) safety test.

We have them in stock and sell them regularly to people in CA.

OP, Baboosh and his shop 2nd Amendment Zone are the real deal. I've done business there and intend to do so again. If you want that revolver, call him up.

Nice gun. I have the 45Colt with the 4.2 barrel and it shoots great. I use the cowboy loads for paper and have the BB bear loads for the bucket list trip to Alaska. Kinda nice that the new one shoots 45ACP but my 1911s would devour them before the Ruger even got a chance.

That's great. But...doesn't the handgun STILL have to be on the roster????

What's the most powerful load in 45 colt can you shoot in it?

Are you a brick and mortar store?

Being a Ruger, I'd imagine it can handle those "Ruger Only" loads. I plan on getting one of these someday.

Underwood ammo sells a ruger load that clocks a 265 grain copper solid at 1400 fps. That's pretty hot!

Thanks to the handgun roster's Single Action Exemption, no it doesn't. If the revolver has it's double action sear removed it can be sold legally. After delivery there is nothing to prevent you from having the DA sear reinstalled.

C'mon, man. All the cool kids are doing it.

FWIW, this model is on the roster. listed as KRH-45-4 Not the same, but similar.

So the FFL would have to do that? I don't know how to reinstall the double-action sear. Is that difficult?

This is what I shoot and it's pretty hot but there are hotter as noted above.
Buffalo Bore Heavy .45 Colt +P - 325 gr. L.B.T.-L.F.N.(1,325fps/M.E.1,267 ft.lbs.) This should get the job done!!

Yes, many FFLs can do SAE work. Just call and ask. Expect to pay for the conversion to and from SA.
