California has passed AB127, a bill that effectively bans the sale of 'machine gun convertible pistols,' which is broadly interpreted to include Glocks, starting January 1st, 2026. The bill defines these as semi-auto pistols with a cruciform trigger bar that can be converted to full-auto with common tools and a 'pistol converter.' While the bill includes exceptions for firearms already at FFLs before the deadline, those sold to law enforcement, and transfers for repair, it creates a felony offense for possessing such converted pistols. The legislation also highlights California's ongoing efforts to regulate firearms through specific design requirements like micro-stamping and mag disconnects, which Glock models currently do not meet.
