Frequently Asked Questions
Learn about California-compliant handguns and legal requirements
What is a California-compliant handgun?
A California-compliant handgun is one listed on the California DOJ Certified Handguns Roster. Semi-automatic pistols must meet specific safety requirements including chamber load indicators, magazine disconnects, and microstamping. Revolvers are generally exempt from roster requirements.
Are revolvers subject to the California handgun roster rules?
Revolvers are treated differently and are generally easier to buy in California. They are not subject to the same roster restrictions as semi-automatic pistols.
Which CA-compliant handguns are best for home defense vs. concealed carry?
For home defense, consider full-size options like the Sig P320 or Springfield Echelon for their capacity and shootability. For concealed carry, micro-compacts like the Sig P365, Springfield Hellcat, or S&W Shield Plus offer the best balance of concealability and performance.
What is the waiting period to take home a handgun in California?
California law requires a minimum 10-day waiting period from the time of purchase. The DOJ has up to 30 days to complete the background check.
