.45 acp revolver

[SamGoldstein]

I'm looking to buy a .45acp revolver and its pretty frustrating.

I want a S&W 25-2 or S&W 22-4.

If the internet gun sellers say "No Californa Sales" then I encounter the problem that the gun is not on the gun roster.

So I can't find the 25-2 on the roster, and the 22-4 expired YESTERDAY! Argh!!!

Can anyone help me find a CA legal version of these pistols? Or recommend a way to exempt them from the roster? Thanks.


EDIT: Okay I just saw the sticky about S&W revolvers and how to convert them to single action. But I need to have my FFL dealer do this right? I don't think he knows how, besides I'm sure he'll screw it up. Who will do this?

Stainless 625 is on the list.

To get the older off-roster guns I've been looking for I've had to become a regular at a couple local shops that take in used guns. Inventory increases in the summer and before Christmas as people sell guns to get spending money. I'm not a real patient guy, so this approach can be a little frustrating.

You can watch the CalGuns marketplace, but the good stuff at good prices sell fast.

There is a used Model 25 at American Gun Works in Glendale. It looks good. About an hour or so drive for the OP.

Besides that, new Model 625 JM should be on the roster, as well as the Model 625 Performance Center. IIRC, Gun World in Burbank sells both brand new.

Hope this helps.

Current production Model 625's are extremely accurate and respond well to action work.

You can do the work yourself.

Thanks for the tip on the 25. I'll check it out.

find an sse dealer to remove the pawl off the hammer and sell it as a single shot? Then re-install it on delivery.
