Well, today was "ten 24 hour periods" from when I did a 3 way swap.
I gave a guy my 1965 Model 14, his buddy gave me his 638 and guy settled with his buddy for an undisclosed sum.
This was a weird transaction because it started in 2002 and ended in 2003.
I did not have to get my HSC, but I did have to supply:
1. a thumbprint
2. proof of residency - they do not accept CDL or several other obvious things. ended up my mortgage bill was acceptable.
3. a CA approved locking device
4. a demonstration of safe handling of the weapon:
They put a lock on the gun and hand it to me in a corner of the store. I take the gun and while maintaining muzzle control, I remove the lock - then open the action and inspect it - then insert 1 dummy round and close the cylinder so that the dummy round is in the "next to fire" positon - then open the cylinder, remove the dummy round, set it on the counter - inspect the gun - close action - re-lock.
Anyway - they said that the DOJ told them that the most important thing is the muzzle control and not touching the trigger which is easy as pie if you are not a scary gun idiot.
I have not had a chance to fire this baby, but I did load it and CCW it in the only place that is legal for me to do so - my home.
It is AMAZING how it just disappears in my pocket. I am definately going to need a few more of these babies.
Hmm after taking it out of my pocket, I dont think I want to make a habit of bare pocket carry - too precarious for my taste.
If anyone could supply any info on the serial number and series, I would be much obliged:
638-2 (no internal lock)

on the crane is '879'
