Are single action revolvers still exempt from the handgun roster/list?

Background: Someone in KY wants to sell  a Ruger vaquero to someone in CA. The Kentucky FFL will not ship to CA because the Vaquero in not on the list.

Thanks in advance.

Fucking ridiculous.  The list is for semi automatic pistols and double action revolvers and derringers.



Restrictions are AFAIK a minimum 3" barrel and overall 7.5" minimum length.

And from the list opening paragraph:





http://certguns.doj.ca.gov/





Effective January 1, 2001, no handgun may be manufactured within
California, imported into California for sale, lent, given, kept for
sale, or offered/exposed for sale unless that handgun model has passed
firing, safety, and drop tests and is certified for sale in California
by the Department of Justice. Private party transfers, curio/relic
handguns, certain single-action revolvers, and pawn/consignment returns
are exempt from this requirement.

 

I'd request that the CA FFL contact the KY FFL and attempt to clear up any confusion.  Realize that it may be difficult to convince him as CA's gun laws are relatively complicated.  If the KY FFL refuses then politely thank him for his time and tell him to go back to drinking his fine bourbon and fucking his sister.





 

As a former CA gunshop employee I wouldn't waste my time. I've tried to help some customers by talking to out-of-state FFLs but not a single one of them changed their minds.
OP, I'd just ask the seller to use a different FFL.



Does the seller even need to ship through an FFL? I've never sent a gun myself, but I thought a person could just send it to the buyer's FFL themselves.
 

This, the seller can send it directly to the FFL of your choice.
