    AB 1964 and Revolvers

    I apologize if this topic is in the wrong forum but am hoping to clarify if there are any changes in regards to off roster revolvers after the end of this year. I have been really eying the S&W 66 and now need a wheel gun this is something different and I know I can get it now, but in light of AB 1964 I have been focusing on semi-auto SSE's before the end of the year and if I can save one 30 day period for a semi I can put off the 66. As I read the current wording of CA Pc 32100 SECTION 1.
    Section 32100 of the Penal Code is amended to read:

    32100.
    (a) Article 4 (commencing with Section 31900) and Article 5 (commencing with Section 32000) shall not apply to a single-action revolver that has at least a five-cartridge capacity with a barrel length of not less than three inches, and meets any of the following specifications:

    (2) Has an overall length measured parallel to the barrel of at least seven and one-half inches when the handle, frame or receiver, and barrel are assembled.

    This means that the model 66 fits that specifications according to Smith's measured length of 9.6 in. and even with the new amendment to the code it would not affect revolvers only semi-autos. Am I correct in my understanding or do I need to act now.

    My understanding is that revolvers are still ok for sae while semis are going to have sse shut down by the end of the year.

      The final SSE has to be picked up before the end of December, per DOJ. SAE on the other hand should continue. They haven't banned it, so the shops that have the capability of doing it will continue to do it. I picked up a model 66 a few months ago, and I highly recommend them.

          I sure hope that SAE is not effected I have been eye balling a SW model 29-2, that I have put to the back of the queue behind some semi autos.

            SAE is a bit more challenging to execute - I suppose one needs to know how to take apart, modify and reassemble a particular revolver and the work isn't quite as "drop in" on most guns as the SSE. I would also assert that unlike SSE an SAE revolver would not inevitably be converted back to DA capability. It is legitimate to suppose a long barreled SA Model 29 or 6" Python could remain SA and be useful. Whether that carries any weight with those who would ban it after reading a collection of "I got my SAE Smith 29 at ......." postings, I don't know.

              AB 1964 does not affect any internal pathways in the
              "Single-Action Revolver" category of Roster exemption.

                    Its very simple, any decent gun shop with a smith will charge a small fee. Sear goes out...you take posession.... sear goes back in
