Does the compensator screw on to a threaded barrel? As far as I know, that would be the only thing which would make a compensator illegal in CA on a pistol, but others here may chime in differently.
And when you say "building" a glock- if by building you mean, "from a stripped or 80% frame", I'll assume you are familiar with those laws. -
Compensators, no problem.
Threaded barrels, however, PC 30515 in relevant part
(a) Notwithstanding Section 30510, “assault weapon” also means any of the following:
...
(4) A semiautomatic pistol that does not have a fixed magazine but has any one of the following:
(A) A threaded barrel, capable of accepting a flash suppressor, forward handgrip, or silencer.
(B) A second handgrip.
(C) A shroud that is attached to, or partially or completely encircles, the barrel that allows the bearer to fire the weapon without burning the bearer’s hand, except a slide that encloses the barrel.
(D) The capacity to accept a detachable magazine at some location outside of the pistol grip.ARCHIVED Calguns Foundation Wiki here: http://web.archive.org/web/201908310...itle=Main_Page

I think Strike Industries makes a comp that doesn't require a threaded barrelComment

As long as the compensator is permanently attached the threaded barrel is fineComment

Is Pina nd weld an option with this like on rifles?Comment

Randall can probably pin and weld it for you. Won't be able to fieldstrip it anymore though.
There are only a few cartridges that will benefit from a comp on a Glock. 9x25Dillon most notably.It's not PTSD, it's nostalgia.Comment

Buy an extra slide and threaded barrel and keep it as an upper? This was the idea behind legalizing suppressors in California too.Comment

Frame mounted compensators for semi-auto pistols are CA legal, because they do not require a threaded barrel.sigpic

There are also barrels available that have a compensator cut into a barrel.Thermidorian Reaction . . Prepare for it.We know they are lying, they know they are lying, they know we know they are lying, we know they know we know they are lying, but they are still lying. ~ SolzhenitsynComment
