Probably a dumb question....

Are single action revolvers exempt from the DOJ Approval List?

I did not see any Ruger Single Actions on there and I would like to buy a Super Blackhawk Bisley Hunter.

Thanks,

Matt

yes, as long as it meets the dimensional requirements.

12133. (a) The provisions of this chapter shall not apply to a single-action revolver that has at least a 5-cartridge capacity with a barrel length of not less than three inches, and meets any of the following specifications:
(1) Was originally manufactured prior to 1900 and is a curio or relic, as defined in Section 478.11 of Title 27 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
(2) Has an overall length measured parallel to the barrel of at least 7 1/2 inches when the handle, frame or receiver, and barrel are assembled.
(3) Has an overall length measured parallel to the barrel of at least 7 1/2 inches when the handle, frame or receiver, and barrel are assembled and that is currently approved for importation into the United States pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (3) of subsection (d) of Section 925 of Title 18 of the United States Code

They are exempt, there is a max/min length rule, but SA or Single shot pistols are exempt.

The Single Shot exemptions is how you are seeing AR15 pistols brought into California.


EDIT-

Barely got beat by Ke6guj, and like always, he has the specifics PC posted.
