DROS AR Single Shot Pistol

[ugimports]

I'm about to transfer in a single shot pistol for a customer. Of course this will be my first being a new shop and all. I want to make sure I do the paperwork correctly.

Questions:

1) When I DROS, I choose "Curio/Relic/Olympic Pistol/Exempt", correct?
2) On the 4473 I choose "Handgun" vs "Other" on Q18, correct?
3) On Section D for Type I specify "Single Shot Pistol? or just "Pistol"?

Thanks,

1) not my expertise
2) handgun
3) pistol


D-30c, the "For FFL use", write: "single shot pistol".

I love that new notes section for FFLs on the 4473. Perfect for things like this.

You have to select exempt, assuming it meets all the qualifications, including size and weight. Otherwise you will not be able to DROS it as you will be forced to select a firearm on the certified list.

Do you have a link or PC number I can reference to insure the firearm will be exempt? I'd hate to bring it in for the customer and then not be able to DROS it to them.

Thanks,

Here is the single-shot pistol roster exemption.

Exactly what I needed. Thank You.

That would not apply to a single shot AR pistol since it does not have a 5 cartridge capacity.

It is not a revolver and it is not a pistol as it is not semi-auto if there is no magazine.

Effective January 1, 2001, with the exception of specified exempted transactions, no pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed upon a person may be manufactured, imported into the state for sale, kept for sale, offered or exposed for sale, given, or loaned to another person in California unless that handgun has passed a safety test performed by a Department of Justice (DOJ) certified laboratory and is listed on the DOJ roster of certified handguns (Senate Bill (SB)15 (Polanco)). This requirement applies to both new and used handguns.

The question is whether the firearm is capable of being concealed upon a person.

That would not apply to a single shot AR pistol since it does not have a 5 cartridge capacity.

I though 12133(a) is separate from 12133(b) meaning that the AR pistol falls under 12133(b), which doesn't have the reference to the 5 round capacity? I guess I'm reading them essentially as 2 separate exemptions with 12133(a) also requiring one of 12133(a)(1, 2 or 3)?

I missed the last part :-).
