California's DOJ Certified Handgun Database
Cal Gun Roster is the most comprehensive searchable database of all 932 handguns currently certified for sale in California by the Department of Justice. Every firearm listed has passed California DOJ testing requirements including firing tests, drop tests, and required safety features.
Our Mission
Navigating California's complex firearms laws is difficult. The CA DOJ Handgun Roster changes constantly — models get added and removed, manufacturers stop renewing certifications, and new legislation creates uncertainty for buyers. Cal Gun Roster exists to make it easy for California residents to find what they can legally purchase from a licensed dealer.
Who We Are
Cal Gun Roster is operated by a team with deep experience in California firearms retail, DROS processing, and compliance with California Penal Code Section 32000. Our team includes professionals who work with the DOJ Handgun Roster daily and understand the complexities of California firearms law firsthand.
Why Trust Our Data
Our database is sourced directly from the California DOJ Office of the Attorney General's official Roster of Handguns Certified for Sale. We cross-reference manufacturer data, verify calibers and specifications, and use AI-assisted enrichment to provide complete specs including capacity, weight, and MSRP for every model. The database is updated regularly to reflect current roster status.
Disclaimer
Cal Gun Roster is an independent information resource. We are not affiliated with the California Department of Justice. All firearm purchases must be made through a licensed California FFL dealer and are subject to California's 10-day waiting period, background check, and all applicable state and federal laws. Roster status can change — always verify current certification with your dealer before purchasing.
