Not sure about the particular model you are looking at, but if it doesn't have a firing pin safety, it won't pass the California drop test unless the manufacturer changes out the firing pin (for a lighter firing pin) and/or puts in a stronger firing pin spring. Some manufacturers go through that process for some of their models. Others do not. Some buyers will not purchase a 1911 that originates from California because they don't want those "safety" features. I've also heard of Californians who have been forced to buy a particular model in a particular finish, and then they immediately send it back to the manufacturer for the finish color they prefer. Thankfully I don't live in California.
