In general, yes, handguns are legal in California, but are subject to more restrictions than most other states. For instance, under most circumstances, you can only have a 10 round mag for a semiauto pistol.

Can you buy Handguns online in California?

Perhaps, but certainly not legally. Actually, it's perfectly legal in all 50 states to purchase handguns online as long as you have the handgun shipped to a local licensed dealer as a transfer, and as long as the handgun meets the requirements for the state in which you reside. I say the last part specifically because California has some laws that other states don't, such as a magazine capacity limit.
