Roster of Handguns Certified for Sale
Effective January 1, 2001, no handgun may be manufactured within California, imported into California for sale, lent, given, kept for sale, or offered/exposed for sale unless that handgun model has passed firing, safety, and drop tests and is certified for sale in California by the Department of Justice. Private party transfers, curio/relic handguns, certain single-action revolvers, and pawn/consignment returns are exempt from this requirement.

CA requires drop testing ... worried about a discharge? See if the model passed the CA drop test ... if on the list, it passed and you can drop your gun all you want (not recommended ! - it will scuff the finish)
I spoke to the gentleman who manages this database and he is not aware of ANY modern gun that has failed their drop testing requirement. In fact, I use the stupid testing requirement of CA as evidence to prove that guns are safer than spoons. The antis hate this argument ~ using liberal inspired results to support RBKA.
Now, just because your gun's model is not on the database list currently does not mean anything really - its a current list of new guns for sale on the current market. I guess you could ask via a FOIA request for the entire database that is tucked away somewhere. The guy I spoke to said about 10,000 model guns over the years have been tested and passed.
