Ted, it meets all of the requirements established by the state, AND Rock Island paid the $200 extortion fee to get it put on CA approved handgun roster. https://www.budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/california_restrictions.pdf ..... Have a great day!

Ted, this model is Grand Fathered from previous certification until that certification expires. All new candidate handguns must have a loaded chamber indicator and a magazine disconnect safety. This is the CA Handgun De-Certified list which is quite extensive so purchase while the getting is good : -- https://oag.ca.gov/firearms/de-certified-handguns

Ted, easiest explanation is rock island armory paid the $200 fee to have this put on the California approved list. Hope this helps.
