Drafthandgun-roster
A model recorded in DOJ’s recently added handgun table, which identifies the manufacturer, model, caliber, firearm type, barrel length, and addition date. [1] “Recently added” describes an administrative event rather than the product’s manufacturing date or the age of its wider family. [1] DOJ’s introduction expressly recognizes that other California prohibitions can remain relevant, so the recorded addition is not an unrestricted determination about every related circumstance. [1] Configuration and purchase rules depend on specifics, this is information, not legal advice.
