My friends father wants to give me his grandfathers Colt Police Positive revolver. Its a .32, not sure of the date of manufacture, but most likely 50 yrs plus, its in fairly decent shape. Question I had was do I need to do an FFL transer or can this be done FTF like a C&R? Also, could I contact Colt if need be to get a date of manufacture from them if need be?

Need to do transfer at FFLOriginally posted by Kestryll -
Because it is a handgun, it doesn't matter that it is 50 or more years old, and a FFL01 has to get involved.*REMOVE THIS PART BEFORE POSTING*Comment

Pistol has to be done PPT(Face to Face) at an FFL, since it isn't on the roster. I'm sure Colt will provide a certificate of manufacture for a fee.I think it can be confirmed that an alien xenomorph is absolutely no match for good ole' Alabama black snake!

Pistols reach C&R status at 100yrs IIRC. You need to do a FFL transfer.-A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.*

If it is a Colt Police Positive then it is over 50 years old. It is C&R and exempt from the California safe handgun roster. It can be shipped to a California FFL.
The date can be checked by serial number on this web site...
If it is a Colt Police Positive Special then there is a chance that it is not yet 50 years old. But I'm pretty sure they never made the Police Positive Special in .32 caliber.__________________

The friend who wants to give it to me is here in CA, same area I live in, this will not be shipped to an FFL, just a PPT at an FFL. Why is it that pistols dont fall under the C&R exemptions for FTF transfers but long guns do?sigpic"I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on.

Do you want an AOW or C&R SBS/SBR in CA?
