Robert, nothing special othe ryhan it has been submitted by S&W and has passed all CA requirements. Revolvers are easier to certify than Semi-Auto's. Here is the CA DOJ approved list for S&W : oag.ca.gov/firearms/certified-handguns/search?make=151003 --------- Many manufacturer's have given up on CA's madness and there are a ton of firearms that have since been removed as attested here : oag.ca.gov/sites/oag.ca.gov/files/pdfs/firearms/removed.pdf

Robert, The short answer is that Colt paid for it to be tested and certified by the california DOJ. Look up california Code of Regulations, title 11, section 4070 for more details on the requirements imposed.
