Yes. As required by California law, exemplars of the CA320 made by Franklin Armory, Inc. were sent to a third-party testing facility licensed by the State of California for testing, such as drop tests and tests of how the gun works. The CA320 samples passed all of the tests, so they were sent to the California Department of Justice to be looked at and added to the list of handguns that can be sold in California. The California Department of Justice approved the CA320 on January 11, 2023, and put it on a list of handguns that can be sold in California.

The CA320 is a single-shot pistol.

No, the “single-shot” exemption only applies to handguns that aren’t on the list of handguns that are allowed to be sold in California. And, as we’ve already said, the CA320 is on the list of handguns that can be sold in California.

Even though the CA320 is on the list of handguns that can be sold in California, Franklin Armory, Inc. can’t say anything about how legal it is for customers to change or modify handguns. So, we tell people in California who want to change or modify a handgun to talk to an attorney or ask the California Department of Justice or an attorney who knows California’s gun laws for more information before making any changes.
