I want one, but it probably won't be submitted for Kalifornia's drop safety test to be certified for sale. 

Should not be a problem, Is the S&W 442 available in Ca.? only differance is some engraving.

No problem then, it's just a 442 - 1 with laser engraving and they will start taking orders monday.
 Just heard on Gun Talk podcast, under $500 according to the guy from S&W

Anybody want to buy a S&W 637 so I can get a Commemorative?

[kmitch200]

The price isn't a deal breaker.

A STUPID LOCK IN THE FRAME IS!

S&W should send one to Scalia, Roberts, Kennedy, Thomas and Alito.  ( Maybe they should send Stevens, Souter, Ginsburg and Breyer each an empty box.)

If you went on vacation out of state and bought one, could you bring it back into Kalifornia?

[DDMac]

Now Rastus, you tryin' to get him in trouble? Boy can't buy no handgun out of State anyway.

In Kalifornia, if they add anything to the name, such as …commemorative, it has to be resubmitted. This happened with Para's "Gun Rights" pistols. It took us a while just to get those on the list. If anyone can think of a hair-brained idea for a "reasonable" gun law, it can get passed in CA. When the masses hear the word "reasonable" from a politico, they seem to believe it to often. I wonder what percentage of people really have an idea how many gun laws are already in place and that they aren't doing a thing for anyone's safety already.

[Jim Urban]

Some gun trivia... CA gun laws account for 15% of the total pages in BATF's "State Laws and Published Ordinaces--Firearms"

And CA is still trying to pass even MORE Gun Laws.

This is just one of the reasons the wife and I will soon be full time residents of Carlsbad,NM.
