Yeah there used to be a work around to get them there called single shot exemption where the dealer sells it as a single shot pistol with some extended barrel. The buyer was then free to convert it back after. The other "options" are rare and include (I may be wrong) new transplants to CA bringing them in and registering them or law enforcement selling them after purchasing them because they are exempted from the "safe gun" roster. It isan extraordinarily complicated mess which just serves to arbitrarily restrict what gun owners can buy. There is also some crap about microstamping chmabers which makes it even more cost prohibitive (manufacturers had to submit guns and pay money to CA for testing of the roster pistols for CA's safety rules). CA DOJ obviously is unaware that man has developed these things called tools which can alter the microstamp and that one could just buy an aftermarket part. Then again these things are meant to just be barriers to entry for gun makersto reduce availability inside the state and are only meant to help prevent or solve crime at face value.
