The law is totally idiotic, but its just one more step to the eventual banning of all guns not deemed by government to be "safe". But that's just what the morons in the Cal Legislature thought when they passed the equally stupid "gun drop test". Over 90% of the guns submitted to that little tax boondoggle passed and are now deemed "safe" by the Cal DOJ.

I predict that nearly all major gun manufacturers will adopt and engineer such features into their product lines soon, anyway. We live in a world dominated by lawyers and liability. The M2 Mauser, the Bersa .380 Thunderer, and even the Browning Hi-Power already have these features, although the Hi-power can be altered. I figure even the venerable Model of 1911 can be modified. The Springfield 1911A1 already has a new barrel with a loaded chamber viewing port cut into the top of the barrel hood. These barrels are a lot better quality then those used by Springfield only five years ago. Springfield also has a new key-operated hammer/trigger locking mechanism built into the mainspring housing. That little goody can be replaced in about five minutes of less with any one of a dozen or so after market units.

How do they intend to do this with revolvers ?

Almost right. What they're really after is:

but its just one more step to the eventual banning of all guns
