California's DOJ Determines Microstamping Technology is Practical for Firearms by 2028
July 20, 2025 - 11:48
A recent report from California’s Department of Justice has concluded that microstamping technology, which imprints unique codes onto shell casings, is a feasible solution for enhancing gun traceability. This innovative approach is set to be mandated for all new semiautomatic handguns sold in the state by 2028.
Microstamping is designed to aid law enforcement by providing a means to link fired cartridges back to the specific firearm used, thereby improving crime scene investigations. The technology has garnered attention as a potential tool to reduce gun violence and assist in the identification of illegal firearms.
As the deadline approaches, manufacturers will need to adapt their production processes to comply with this regulation. The report highlights the importance of advancing firearm technology in the ongoing efforts to enhance public safety and hold individuals accountable for gun-related crimes. This decision marks a significant step in California's commitment to innovative solutions in gun control and crime prevention.
