What makes a pistol california legal

Having a non-adjustable or pinned stock that does not adjust. In the case of a thumbhole stock, you would need to replace it. Having a muzzle break instead of a flash hider. Not adding a forward grip. If this is not a good option for you, you can keep all the features by removing or "fixing" your magazine so it is no longer "detachable".

A CompMag is a good option in this case. It locks into your rifle with one screw and gives you a "fixed magazine" under CA law. CA law states that to have "fixed magazine" one would need to "break the action" of the firearm to remove the magazine. As the CompMags locking screw cannot be accessed without separation of the upper and lower, this would qualify as "breaking the action".

Law enforcement officers are great wonderful people my father was one but they are human and they can not possibly know all laws. It has been my experience no law enforcement officer knows all the subtle details of the minefield of firearms laws, especially here in California. Accordingly, many officers may look at an AR pistol which most have never seen as being something that just can't be legal, not here in CA.

Of course we sell AR Pistols and there's an obvious marketing motivation behind this write-up, but we also want to help the community not run afoul of the law and to legally obtain what they want.
