Not all small handguns are being banned. There are some what used to be
called Smith J frames that are still able to be sold. The DOJ target was the
Jennings & Davis family who made cheap handguns and had a real inventory
control problem. 50,000 Davis handguns were released without a seriel number
and sold to the gang crowd.

Yep.  Ruger .357s with 2"barrels.

Basically, no guns small enough to be concealed.  They are, in the law,
called "unsafe." Guns with a barrel less than 3" or under 6" over-all length
is considered "unsafe."  Not because they blow up in people's hands or shoot
off accidentally, or anything that I would consider really unsafe, but
because and only because they are small.  Women generally have smaller hands
than men.  Older people aren't as strong.  Often people in those two
categories buy small guns so they can handle them well.  I did.  I believe
that I am safer with a somewhat smaller gun that I can handle without a
problem than with larger guns with which I fumble a bit because they are
larger.  One day, I may become strong enough to handle a .45.  Until that
time, I'm safer with the smaller gun. Thus, outlawing small guns simply
because they are small is discriminatory against women and the elderly.

This is the same law that required drop testing by the manufacturer.  We've
been told Ruger has done drop tests, but still, these revolvers are no
longer available for purchase in CA simply because they are small.
