Got a citation on the law that says that? I'm not in California, but a friend of mine is an attorney and NRA-certified instructor in CA, and I have never heard of any way to get around the fact of a gun's NOT being listed on the CA DOJ list of approved handguns.
You do understand, I hope, that California's listing is of specific models, not just makes. If the list includes a Rock Island 1911 with a 5" barrel and stainless steel finish, the exact same pistol with a blued finish is NOT legal unless it appears as a separate item on the list. For that reason, I don't see any way you can take a gun that's off-list, modify it, and have it magically become legal. California does not allow you to manufacture your own handguns. You cannot buy a bare frame in California and build your own pistol on it. You can buy ONLY completed handguns, and if new they MUST be on the DOJ list.
