Going to be giving up a handgun Dec 19. The son&heir gets married that day and I'm giving him his pick from the safe. Suspect it will be a 1911 or BHP he takes with him. Guess I should read up on the CA family transfer rules. Handguns being registered here I reckon there will be a trip to the LMoD and fees involved. Probably a 10-day wait too.

Update to add that I want the form 3 to go through, and my Sparrow to arrive at the local dealer in time to submit my form 4 and beat 41P. Especially since I figure that after the events of last week, the de-funding amendment in Congress is likely radioactive.

Yeah, I'm going to hit up another can and SBR the MCX and my 870. Maybe another AR receiver as well. Though I am wondering about the date of 01/00/16. Maybe they just mean sometime in 2016, though I'm not going to chance it.

Also, I can't comment on .22lr through the Sparrow, as my Buckmark's firing pin is broken, but 5.7 from my PS90 SBR? Badass.

If it doesn't have a certain bit of machining in the cylinder, you would.

And to allow extraction without having to poke the empties out with a pencil. That's why S/A revolvers use two separate cylinders for .45 convertibles, but a D/A would be bored through, to allow the .45 Colt rounds to chamber, thus there would be nothing in the chamber for the .45 ACP to headspace on.
