Not that it would help much complaining at Calguns, but complaining here is a bit remote from the problem.
Ask Taurus why it's now off the Roster.

There is a court challenge to the roster pending, though I'm not sure of its current status.

There have been ALOT of guns falling off since the microstamping requirement went into place. At one time the roster had over 1200 guns on it. I expect it will dip below 1000 in short order, and rapidly lose guns as manufacturers modify and improve there designs for next year's product. The tiniest change, aside from sights, will kick the gun off the roster. It is getting frustrating, and I cannot wait to leave. I will continue to support CA gun owners, but it will be from a free state.

Ironically, the rapidly shrinking roster of available guns in CA may be the best hard evidence that this is a slow rolling ban. Requiring a feature that practically doesn't exist and certainly doesn't exist in the marketplace is absurd and disingenuous.

So the gun suddenly becomes "unsafe" - and unavailable in CA. |

Ask if the FFL has the parts and inclination to 'render' it a single action ... so the DROS can be submitted under the single shot (or action) exemption. Once you are a happy owner of the new Taurus, you are free to legally 'modify' your shiny new toy as you please, including getting the assistance of a gunsmith to do it for you if needed, and viola, your new Taurus suddenly operates as per any factory model.

OH is not the friendliest state in the Union (not bad, just not the best) when it comes to gun rights, but this is crazy, I feel bad for all gun owners in places like this...

Yes, agreed ... CA gun laws are the definition of absurd and stupid. And yes the single shot exemption is a real and legal means to acquire handguns not on the CA 'safe' handgun roster, though AB 1964 is moving through the legislature in an attempt to eliminate it (similar to last year's vetoed AB 169).
Absurd and stupid also describes most of our elected officials, particularly those in the state legislature that seem bound and determined to ruin this once great state. I'm a fourth generation Californian and it sickens me to see what rampant liberalism in the major population centers and the power of public-sector unions have done to a state whose economy and vibrancy once rivaled that of several nations. |

The single shot exemption is a real path to own off-roster firearms in CA, but I haven't heard of it being used for a revolver, with I believe this Taurus 44 Magnum to be. I don't even know how one could do it on a revolver.

As with any law, the real purpose is exposed
That absolute, piece of garbage, legislation specifically exempts single action revolvers from the process and allows law enforcement to purchase 'unsafe' handguns not on the list.

Taurus allows firearms it is not longer producing to expire off the roster--as do most manufacturers. Moreover, Taurus is making no attempt to even try to qualify most of its new guns for the roster, and definitely not any of its pistols. I think it finally got fed up and is slowly withdrawing from the market here. it is actually not that hard to qualify revolvers (relatively speaking) because they are not subject to the plethora of safety features mandated for pistols, nor subject to the microstamping law. On the other hand, Ruger has been reporting that even minor, essentially nonfunctional changes designed to improve reliability of a particular firearm are being treated by the DOJ as "new" firearms, no matter how minor the change (for example, changing the manner in which a part is manufactured--forged versus MIM), and testing is not cheap. Maybe Taurus is having the same issue with its revolvers too. Which would not be surprising--the Attorney General is a gun hater who would ban them all if she could, and is making it as difficult as possible for buyers to purchase guns. People who have been buying firearms for years are suddenly being delayed or denied. DROS funds have been transferred to an enforcement unit to track down disqualified individuals and seize their guns (which isn't a bad thing, except that the cost is born by gun buyers and not by the state general fund).

The worst part about this crap is the Gun had just fallen off the list the day before. 1 day sooner and the sale would have gone through. Its absurd. Its just legalized extortion to discourage legal gun owners.

This thread sat dormant from March of 2014 until August of 2019. Not exactly current, and nothing new seems to have been added.
