I should have known better than to question someone who has purchased a handgun in California in recent years. The last handgun I purchased was a S&W Model 29 .44 Mag. and that was probably around 1990.
The last handgun I obtained was a gift. It's a nickel plated Colt Pocket Positive chambered in .32. I inherited it after it had sat in an attic for over 50 years. Even though it was made in 1903 it's still in pristine condition. I've never fired it.
The NRA/ILA website is a good source of such information, and is rarely more than a year or two behind the laws. Which, considering how fast the gun control laws are expanding, isn't to bad.
