California enacts nation's first ban on machinegun-convertible pistols
Assembly Bill 1127 bans sale of Glock pistols convertible to fully automatic guns, affecting tens of thousands of Californians and sparking legal challenges from gun rights groups.
- On October 10, 2025, Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 1127, banning commercial sales of most Glock pistols in California starting July 1, 2026.
- Amid concerns over illegal `Glock switches`, the bill targets pistols convertible to fully automatic fire, citing that `there was just too much damage because that Glock 'switch' was a killing machine`, Deborah Grimes said.
- The law reclassifies certain handguns as machinegun-convertible pistols based on a cruciform trigger bar, exempts law enforcement officials, and allows firearms dealers to sell inventory received before Jan. 1.
- A coalition including the Second Amendment Foundation, National Rifle Association, and Firearms Policy Coalition filed Jaymes v. Bonta Monday, arguing the ban violates Heller and Bruen precedent.
- As part of a wider package, AB 1127 accompanies bills that change parts and carry rules, including SB 704, which mandates barrel sales through licensed firearms dealers with background checks and a $5 fee per barrel transaction starting July 1, 2027.
