WTH.... buncha revolvers on that list.

Can't fathom the s*** that gets some of these guns banned. What, no lock or something? Screw California.

My understanding is that back in 2013 they passed a law saying all new gun models sold in the state must have technology that stamps the cartridge case in two places with the serial number of the gun.
Of course that tech doesn't exist.
So anytime a manufacturer introduces a new model that doesn't have that tech, it can't be sold in CA.
And; if a manufacturer makes a change to a current approved model, then it becomes a new gun, and is dropped off the list for not having the stamping tech.

That's what I read a few weeks ago anyway, but I'm old and may be confused.

Here's something I just found from 2014, but I haven't read it thoroughly.

The turdness of commiefornianever ceases to amaze me. The Bond Arms derringer? Really?
As if a 4 inch nickel model 58 S&W wasn’t already high priced!

There was an effort that was attempted in several states to enact laws that would require micro stamping of the firearms brass when fired. After reading some of the statues, I found that the manufacturer of the micro stamping company was the entity behind the proposed laws. If they could get the laws passed, business would be booming.

If it were enacted, there would still be problems trying to identify the shooter. Imagine a bad guy going to the gun range and picking up a few handfuls of brass then doing a drive by and throwing the brass out on the scene.

I was in California for a couple of days in 1994. So far I haven't had any need to go back.

@Parks 788 can probably explain this.

Curious to hear what our pal @Parks 788 has to say about it.
