SINGLE SHOT EXEMPTION FOR CA ???

[Dano3467]

Went to hand gun forum, then single shot exemption, and it was a little confusing. Maybe someone could answer a question on buying out of state S&W 360PD and shipping here for private ownership & CCW.

Can I do this legally, for a used firearm ???

Looks like there are a few versions on the Roster

360PD SKU 163064 / Alloy, Titanium, Stainless Steel Revolver 1.87" .357 Magnum 4/11/2013
360PD (S&W Logo Grip) SKU 163064 / Alloy; Titanium; Stainless Steel Revolver 1.87" .357 Magnum 2/24/2014

So SSE isn't an issue for you. SSE is for purchasing guns that aren't on the roster.

You just need to find an FFL local to you and ask them what their fees are for transfers from out of state. Shop around. You will still have to pay DROS ($25) and whatever their transfer fee is, anywhere from 25-100 on average - that how they make money on the deal. You will likely be charged CA sales tax on the purchase price too.

That's no problem, it was just looking like I was going to be unable to do this, on other forum. It was looking like shot barrel issues, sounds like that's not the case... Thanks.

Just for future reference, the SSE is typically only done on semi-autos, as it involves a single shot mag and an extended barrel to meet the minimum length.

^^^ was thinking the same, never heard of revolvers for SSE.

Yeh I know ! , just saw it in handgun forum, for a revolver so though I'd ask

I was thinking the same thing too so I looked up the roster and found revolvers on it. So if a revolver isn't on the roster then what?

You buy a single-action revolver, which is exempt. Or, you can convert a double-action revolver to single-action, have it shipped in, then convert it back to double-action.
You can also find a non-listed revolver/handgun for sale from a private party within California. PPT is exempt from roster considerations, too.

PC 32100 - some revolvers do not need to be on the Roster -

(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
