So there are 4 model numbers of the p238 that are CA compliant. All of the CA approved models have CA in the model number this one does not, and is not CA compliant List of CA approved https://oag.ca.gov/firearms/certified-handguns/search

Unfortunately no, this model is not California compliant/legal. Sorry and hope this helps.

Deanne, unfortunately no, as it MUST be on the CA DOJ approved Roster to be legal in CA. I highly recommend the S&W Shield : https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/83345/smith+&+wesson+m&p9+shield+7%2b18%2b1+9mm+31+california+approved
