DROS= Dealer Record Of Sale, I think that is a federal requirement but I could be wrong. If you have any questions about or just want info on CA's gun laws check out calguns.net also a very friendly site for general info.

Thanks for the info on the gap, I'll try and do for you. Yes private party to private party any handgun is ok (except short barreled shotguns, like the Governor (whole nuther bitch)) Private party sells "off list" to gunshop must be sold out of state. Private party puts on consignment "off...

I paid $600 plus DROS for my 4" here in california, as previously mentioned it mostly a sellers market here for "off List" guns. I'd say mine is at least 95% and the seller was the original owner with all the original packaging and paperwork. I do have one concern though the C/B gap is about...
