If you have to ship it, then Roster applies. So no, you cannot have it shipped to you. Must meet in person, face to face.

One possibility is to ship the weapon to an FFL that can SSE it.. So you would have to find an FFL that can do Single Shot Exemptions on the model and be willing to accept it as such.

Good luck.

Paper is correct.

So that means that the gun either needs to be on the roster or roster exempt. If you yourself are roster exempt then it doesn't matter.

I guessing from your question that you are not roster exempt.

You could ask the seller to convert it to a roster exempt handgun before shipping or you could ask your LGS if they can convert it to a roster exempt handgun when they receive it.

FWIW, it's a single action revolver. Does that make it a single shot?

If it meets these requirements then you are GTG.

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 71/2 inches when the handle, frame or receiver, and
barrel are assembled.
(3) Has an overall length measured parallel to the barrel of at
least 71/2 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.

1. Since the firearm is being shipped, it is not a PPT.
2. If the firearm is a handgun, then it needs to be on the Roster of Handguns Certified for Sale or be exempt from it.
3. Dimensionally compliant single-action revolvers are exempt. [PC 32100(a)]

So, in your scenario...
You can purchase the single-action revolver from SoCal and have it shipped to NorCal.
Because the single-action revolver you are buying qualifies for the single-action revolver exemption, a CA FFL dealer can transfer it to you.
But, because the firearm is being shipped, the CA FFL dealer can legally charge any amount of money to facilitate the transfer.
