Bummer, I see the S&W Mode 10 (10-14) is once again set to expire from the list.

Not sure how California worries so much about what was once the most common handgun in the country? I suppose S&W could paint them pink to make the feel more friendly, but maybe not. Wifey has an old Lorcin L-24 with a grip that color, and that too is now a taboo metal tool in Kalifornia. Gun saved her life during the Rodney King Riots when somebody who was having mental health crises over current events tried to carjack her at a filling station in North Long Beach.
 
"Set to expire" doesn't necessarily mean it will expire. S&W can renew.
 
What, if anything, is going on with the lawsuit challenging the roster?
