NO the law is not just for NEW GUNS...Colt series 70 1911's are not legal for sale by a dealer in CA, they can be consigned and be sold privatily however. The rule is that the gun has to be 50 years or older or be classified as a C&R to be legal for sale. (Any gun over 50 years old is basically considered to be a C&R). Other wise the drop test is mandatory.

Colt S&W etall are not going to submit a discontinued gun for a drop test...that is why so many guns are not legal for sale by dealers.

Ask me how I fking know, I dare ya!
