IS RUGER'S HANDGUN STATEMENT CORRECT?

[allpoint]

I couldn't find this on the CA DOJ website and wondered if anyone had any written documentation from the DOJ mirroring Ruger's statement which I posted below:
Note on single-action revolver sales in California: Pursuant to California law, single-action revolvers with at least a five-cartridge capacity, a barrel length of not less than three inches, and an overall length of at least seven and one-half inches are exempt from testing requirements. All currently manufactured Ruger single-action revolvers satisfy these criteria and therefore are exempt from the California requirements. These revolvers may be purchased in California even though they do not appear on the California Roster of Handguns Certified for Sale.

Your help would be appreciated.

Yes, that is correct. If you look at the CA PC, you will see the single action exemption, which is what they are saying.

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:
(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 seven and one-half inches when the handle, frame or receiver,
and barrel are assembled.

Thanks for the response. Stupid me went on the DOJ site looking for Ruger in the drop down list and didn't see it until I went to Sturm Ruger, so I thought Ruger was non-roster.

It is non-roster, but that is because it is exempt :-).

Sorry for the silly question - Do these specific exempt SA revolvers still follow the 1 per 30 day rule if purchased NIB from an FFL?

Thanks,

Almost - these specific exempt SA revolvers still follow the 1 per 30 day rule if purchased NIB from an FFL.

Unless the handgun is purchased from a private person, using an FFL because state law requires it, generally the sale is subject to 1-in-30.

NIB has nothing to do with it.

Unless the handgun is purchased from a private person, using an FFL because state law requires it, generally the sale is subject to 1-in-30.

Just to be clear, it has to be a CA PPT in order to be exempt from the 1 in 30. If it is shipped, it is not a PPT, even if it comes from a CA resident. A consignment can also be done as a PPT, which would then be exempt.

Just curious, why the skepticism with Ruger's statement?

Honestly Dachan; I overlooked the word single action before I sent the question.
