Is there a law on how short of a barrel you can put on a AR15 / AR9 pistol in Ca?

No limit on how short the barrel is. It could be 1 inch. -
I believe that's correct... barrel could be so short on a pistol that the bullet tip could be sticking out of the muzzle... wouldn't be a good design, but there wouldn't be a legal issue with it.
Legal issues with AR platform pistols in CA, barrel length is the least of your worries.The one thing worse than defeat is surrender.Comment

You can, but I would avoid anything shorter than a 7.5" barrel. Stick to 10" or 11" IMO.Comment

I don’t get the AK gas piston on the AR…. Except for with short SBR and pistols- the piston seems to run while the DI has some issues...
A friend had an ND into the bed of his truck. Back of the bed- just below the rear window.
It was a really short SBR and it dented the bed... his rifle did not puncture one side of the truck bed...... not enough velocity / energy...

My way of asking - how short is the limit to defeat the effectiveness of the round?
With .223/5.56/7.62- at what point will the bullet stabilize and at what length will it stop being lethal ?Last edited by hermosabeach; 05-20-2021, 5:23 PM.Rule 1- ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED
Rule 2 -NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO DESTROY (including your hands and legs)
Rule 3 -KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET
Rule 4 -BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT

Sure he was. I wasn't replying to the OP. I was replying to Paperchasin's comment. Which was like hermosabeach saying:
This is meant for: bruss01
So, since I was replying to someone else, how come you didn't spank their hand too for offering input?Yes you can have 2 C&R 03 FFL's; 1 in California and 1 in a different state.

There is a minimum barrel length requirement in order to qualify for the single-shot pistol exemption to CA unsafe handgun laws.
In order to be exempt, the pistol must:
1. have a barrel length of 6" or greater.
2. have an overall length of 10.5" or greater.
3. must operate as a bolt-action or as a break-open.
4. must be single-shot.
5. can never have been semi-auto.
There is a maximum barrel length requirement in order to be considered a "handgun" in CA.
If the firearm has a barrel length of 16" or greater, then it is not considered a "handgun".
If the firearm has a barrel length of less than 16", then it is considered a "handgun".
^A "handgun" can also be considered a SBR or SBS, if it meets the CA definition of a SBR or SBS.sigpic

my 10.5"s have been running flawlessly with DI - 5.56
Going under 10" is useless with a 5.56 . Use a .357 magnum if you want shorter than 10"Beans and BulletsComment
