North American Arms Mini 1.13" 22 Short Revolver

A: Ben this would work for this "Close Range" task just fine. You would have a better bullet selection/more dispatch power with the 22lr version. but this is sufficient.

A: i would look into a small 357

A: Scott, no it is not on the CA DOJ approved handgun roster. The CA compliant models are out of stock. >>> https://www.budsgunshop.com/search.php/type/Firearms/exclusive/ca/manu/152

A: Sorry its not on the CA DOJ approved list and the gun is to short to qualify for the Single action exception to the DOJ list *Permissible handguns that are NOT on the handgun roster: ✔ Single-action revolvers that have at least a 5 round capacity with a barrel length of at least 3 inches and an overall length of at least 7½ inches are permitted. ✔ Single-shot pistols that are top-break or bolt-action with a barrel length of at least 6 inches and have an overall length of at least 10½ inches are permitted. https://www.budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/california_restrictions.pdf

A: Sorry but this is not California compliant/legal. Hope this helps.
