A: Alex, the M9 A3 has not made it to the CA DOJ Approved Roster yet. I expect it will soon : https://www.oag.ca.gov/firearms/certguns?make=Beretta

A: Hi Alex, No, Unfortunately the M9 A3 isn't Ca Compliant. Here's the Ca legal Berettas - https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=2084_1153_1796&filter_id=86

A: Steven, no that gun is not compliant. The threaded barrel is the issue, without that it would be fine. Here is a list of Buds' compiled regulations for CT: https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/feeds/state_reg/connecticut_restrictions.pdf

A: No, it is not. The threaded barrel would disqualify it for Connecticut, since it has a detachable magazine.

A: Steven, no, the non compliant "Threaded Barrel" prohibits Buds from shipping this pistol to CT.

A: Yes, any sized Beretta 92 style magazines will fit this. The firearm is exactly the same as the standard capacity version, this just has a pinned magazine for states with magazine capacity restrictions. Hope this helps.

A: Oscar, yes Sir. Most manufacturers make 10rd models so they can be sold in States with capacity restrictions. The firearms are the same and will take standard capacity magazines no issue. Cheers and stay safe! 17rd Magazine here : https://www.beretta.com/en-us/gun-accessories/handguns/magazines/beretta-m9a3-sand-resistant-magazine-9mm-17-rds-unpackaged/

A: Oscar, yes sir, the mags that come with this gun are pinned to 10rds for anti-2A states draconian gun laws. It will accept the larger capacity Beretta 92 style 15rd mags . Have a great day!

A: Michael, magazine capacity is the only difference Sir. Most manufacturers including Beretta make 10rd magazine packages so their firearms can be sold in States with magazine capacity restrictions. The only difference is the magazine (10rd) compared to the standard model package higher capacity magazines. Both pistols will accept either capacity magazine. Cheers and stay safe!

A: Michael, yes Sir. Beretta says Model J92M9A3 is Made in Italy : -- https://www.beretta.com/en-us/m9a3/
