A: Hi Justin and welcome. No difference. A gun has to be submitted to the state of Cal for testing. If a model is not tested, it will not be listed as Ca compliant. Some manufacturers just don't bother with Ca anymore due to their draconian gun laws and $ spent to have it added to the CA Handgun Roster. Cheers and stay safe!
Author: James G.
A: CA compliant models are ones that the companies paid the state to be on the CA DOJ approved gun Roster.
Author: Jason L.
A: Hi Justin, Taurus paid Dictator Newsom the $200 extortion fee to have it put on the CA approved handgun roster, that's what make it CA compliant. Stay safe & have a great day!
