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

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, 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. budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/california_restrictions.pdf ..... Have a great day!
