Glock Ban Goes Live July 1
California’s Glock ban takes effect July 1, 2026 — but there’s a massive loophole that has FFLs confused and DOJ silent.
In the latest installment of CRPA TV, Matt Cubeiro, partner at Michel & Associates, breaks down both AB 1127 (the Glock ban) and AB 1078 (the three-guns-per-month law) — what they actually do, how they actually work, and what lawsuits are coming.

The Glock ban only affects sales, not possession. Pistols delivered to FFLs before January 1, 2026 are exempt and can still be sold after July 1. DOJ hasn’t released a list of affected firearms. Glock hasn’t gotten new V-series models approved on the California roster.
And nobody knows exactly how the system will flag these transactions after the implementation date.
Matt also recaps AB 1078 (three guns per month), which took effect April 1 — and makes note of something most people missed. The bill quietly removed the private-party transaction exemption that existed under the old one-gun-per-month rule. That alone could be the basis for a new lawsuit, especially after CRPA’s Nguyen v. Bonta victory.
Plus: why California created this problem in the first place by freezing manufacturers out of design updates, why manufacturers may finally need to go on the offensive, and what the Boland lawsuit could mean for the entire roster system.
There really are a LOT of balls in the air and CRPA is ready to fight wherever we are needed.
