A: Yes this is California compliant. I live in California and I know. I'm glad I was able to assist you. Good day.

A: Adam, they are essentially equal in feature, function and reliability. Taurus has recovered from some quality control issues from a few years ago and are in the running in the handgun categories again. I own and EAA snub 357 Windicator and a Taurus 5 Shot snub and like both equally well. If I absolutely had to choose, it would more than likely be the Taurus.
