🏪 Where to Buy the Glock 34 OD in California
Under AB 1127, California dealers can only sell a new Glock 34 OD from stock they acquired before January 1, 2026, so availability is limited. A used one can still be bought through a private party transfer (PPT) at a licensed dealer. Every handgun purchase in California requires a Firearm Safety Certificate, a DROS background check and a 10-day waiting period. Find a California FFL near you →
