SWEET! Thank you gentleman!

Careful with that, signal action revolvers are known to go off without pressing the trigger if your point them at your photography director.

Just picked up my first SA 22lr, a Heritage 9shot rough Rider , and boy am I in love. I ran about 300 rounds through it, was hitting steel all day at 50yd, and could shoot this thing faster than a semi auto 9mm.

So my question is…. Does that whole single shot exemption apply to SA revolvers? Am I able to order any SA revolver and have it shipped to my local FFL?

No it doesn't.

The exemption that covers single action revolvers is the Single Action Only (SAO) Revolver Exemption.

No it doesn't.

Ohhh I see thank you for the clarification.

So those it specifically has to be a revolver? How about those Bond Arms derringers? Would those apply?

To qualify for the SAO Revolver Exemption, yes they need to be revolvers.

The Bond Arms Derringers do not qualify for the SAO exemption or the Single Shot Pistol exemption. To qualify for the SSP exemption, it needs to be a single shot break open or bolt action pistol. There are also barrel and OAL requirements that I forget exactly what they are, but are close to 6" barrel and 11.5" OAL.

single action revolvers can be run well for a purpose.

Actually, none of it does; it is all a product of communism, shoved down the throats of the citizenry by the legions of democrats who are firmly in charge here in The Anus.
As to what others have said regarding the technical points of those edicts, they are very correct.

There are ways around barrel length much like there are ways around single action for importing revolvers. Use these workarounds if you have to.

Revolvers are generally not really on the naughty list and it's unlikely there would be much interest in blocking the SAE, especially as we await a strong pro-2A ruling from SCOTUS in a few months.

The single-action revolver exemption was created due to the support of "pro-gun" cowboy action shooting groups helping to pass the unsafe handgun legislation in CA.

After getting their support, the single-action revolver exemption was amended into the legislation and the bill's proponents campaigned that the unsafe handgun legislation was so common sense that even pro-gun groups supported it. This help sway CA legislators that were on the fence on the issue to support it and thus get it passed the CA legislature.

So, anti-gun CA groups have no interest in removing the reward they gave their "pro-gun" allies. Since those same allies also provided their support in passing the CA large capacity magazine laws and CA assault weapons laws of 1989 & 1999.

Early USFA

This is a Uberti manufacture, finished in US single action with Turnbull case coloring. BP frame. 45 Colt. Nice one piece grips.

Thank you, Quiet. Absolutely the truth.

And at the time the UHA was being passed, there weren't enough
votes to pass it if a full court press against it existed.

But SASS etc groups hired NRA turncoat lobbyist (Feldman, IIRC) to protect their precious cowboy guns - after being warned by other gun groups. The fencesitter legislators now saw lack of uniform opposition & figured "WTF, you guys are divided, why should I bust a gut on this vote?"
