A guy from my work wants to buy my .357 and I am wondering if I am required to transfer the gun title into his name? I know you dont have to for shotguns and rifles, just wondering if it is any different for handguns?

Not only a bill of sale, also get the driver's license number.

Selling a handgun with just a Bill of Sale is an extremely foolish thing to do..friend or not. That Bill of Sale will offer you NO protection what-so-ever if the gun is stolen or God forbid,winds up being used in a crime, or a criminal act.
Pay an FFL Dealer to do the LEGAL transfer and transfer the GUN and the LIABILITY for it's use or misuse OUT of YOUR NAME! The Dealers fee for the transfer is well worth the peace of mind and protection that the legal transfer gives you. If you do otherwise, the responsibility is YOURS and yours alone....Not worth risking your home or your bank accounts and savings..Worth thinking about, don't you think?

No but if I were you I would take it to a gun store and have them do it for you. There is a fee just call around it will cover your butt if he does anything stupid with it.
