What calibers does the Aegis come in?

It's chambered in 9mm Luger and .45 ACP, depending on the version.

Can you buy one in California or Massachusetts?

California and Massachusetts each keep their own list of handguns approved for sale, and a gun has to be on it before a dealer there can sell it to you. State rules change, so check our California and Massachusetts pages before you buy.
