California Compliant Guns

What is the CA Roster?

The CA Roster, officially known as the California Roster of Handguns Certified for Sale, is a list of firearms deemed safe and approved for purchase by the California Department of Justice (DOJ). To be included, firearms must pass rigorous safety and functionality tests, ensuring compliance with state regulations.

Key Features of the CA Roster

• • Firearms must include microstamping capabilities.
  • Must pass drop safety and firing tests.
  • Limited to handguns; other firearms follow separate compliance rules.

You can check the official CA DOJ roster to verify if a firearm is approved.
