California has some of the strictest firearm regulations in the United States. Whether you're a new gun owner or a seasoned enthusiast, understanding which firearms are compliant with state laws is crucial. At AmmoJo, we provide reliable information and access to California-compliant firearms to help you make informed purchasing decisions.

What Makes a Firearm California Compliant?

Handguns

California maintains a Roster of Certified Handguns that lists all approved handguns for sale in the state. To be included on this roster, a handgun must pass rigorous safety tests, including drop and firing tests. Additionally, new semi-automatic handguns must feature microstamping technology, which imprints a unique identifier on each spent cartridge.

Rifles and Shotguns

California classifies certain rifles and shotguns as "assault weapons" based on specific features. To be compliant, a rifle or shotgun must not include prohibited features such as:

• Pistol grips

• Collapsible or folding stocks

• Flash suppressors

• Detachable magazines (without a fixed magazine modification)

A fixed magazine means that the firearm requires disassembly of the action to remove or insert a new magazine, making it compliant with California law.

Magazine Restrictions

California limits magazine capacity to 10 rounds for both rifles and handguns. Possession of larger capacity magazines is generally prohibited unless they were lawfully owned before the ban.
