CLWS produces a line of pistols, and carbines. Calico firearms feature a top-mounted, helical-feed, high-capacity (50 or 100 round) magazine that ejects spent shells from a slot in the bottom, making a brass catcher more practical.

Although reviews of the product line were very favorable, Calico has yet to secure big military and law enforcement contracts. Sales were severely curtailed by the introduction of the Federal assault weapons ban in the 1990s which limited magazine capacity of newly made firearms to ten rounds. Now that that particular legislation has expired Calico is producing firearms again. Calico weapons are sometimes seen in science fiction films due to their futuristic appearance. The company tagline in the 1990s was ''A Revolution in Firepower!''.
