Part of the problem with the CA list is there is also a $500 fee to test the pistol. The pistol has to pass the test before it can be put on the list. To add to the insanity every variation that is to be sold has to be tested. So a compact 9 will have to be tested as will the full sized version. Then the 40 will have to be tested. On top of that if the trigger group is different or if the slide is a different color it has to be tested. That's $500 per pistol.
I'm not familiar with Ruger semi autos so I'm going to use Smith and Wesson as an example. SW will have to pay to test the MP9 full size and then pay again and have to the compact tested. Then the 40 and 45 have to be tested both in full size and compact. Want to sell a long slide 9 for competition? Well need to pay and submit that for testing. I don't know how many pistols have to be tested in each version but they are supplied at the company's expense so CA isn't even buying them.
