The list is merely a list of what handguns that a dealer may sell to non-police. Guns who's manufacturers have paid to have them drop tested and function tested. New additions to the list must also have a loaded chamber indicator and a magazine disconnect.

A police officers are exempted (strong union) and can buy anything from a dealer. For the rest of use you can still own anything not considered not considered an assault weapon. And you can still buy off-list pistols from private parties.
