No. I bought a Model 84 Llama target pistol in Calli in 1995. It's a target version of a Beretta 92.
Even though it was purchased in CA. It couldn't be sold there, because it is a hi-cap. Same as the Beretta.
My FFL told me, that he would have to send it to a FFL in CA. Who would just send it back, on my dime. No matter that it had a 10 round magazine. it was able to take a hi-cap mag.0 -

Sending the pistol is not the problem, anything can be sent to an FFL (that is the advantage we have for being licensed) the issue is transferring it to an unlicensed individual. Generally speaking; the off list pistol must be in the exempted class of Single-action Revolvers with 3" minimum barrel length and 7.5" minimum overall length, a Single-shot Pistols with 6" minimum barrel length and a minimum overall length of 10.5" when assembled, an Olympic style competition pistol (there is an actual list so you can't sneak in a Ruger target .22) or a Curio and Relic.
Otherwise you need to be an LEO...They can buy anything.0 -

More information would help - what pistol is being sent and to who?
In general, an off roster handgun cannot be sold in CA via conventional FFL sale unless certain legal exceptions are met.
C & R eligible handguns are exempt from the roster, as are single action revolvers with a 3" barrel and OAL of 7.5" or more. Single shot break action as mentioned and listed Olympic pistols are exempt. Inter-familial transfers are exempt. CA LE are exempt, our AG has recently decided FEDERAL LE don't qualify for the LE exemption. Regarding the single action exemption, this applies to what most would consider a DA revolver such as a Ruger or Smith & Wesson IF the DA sear is removed, even temporarily.
A semi-auto pistol would not be "off roster" just because of its magazine - the magazine can't be sent in, the gun can be sent in (if on roster or otherwise eligible) and the mag left behind or a 10 rounder substituted.
Again, more info would be worthwhile. Sometimes there is a way to legally work around the "in general no" answer.0
