Colt decided not comply with the Kalifornia government's requirement that all handguns to be sold in the state under go an extensive and utterly worthless test before they are certified as "safe".

I believe the term the use is "not un-safe". They'll never designate a pistol as safe. Sorta like doubleunplus good(1984 EngSoc)...

I believe that some of these test requirements led Kimber to change the firing pin block mechanism in the last year or so. Their 1911 models that have the new mechanism all carry the II suffix in the catalog. Unless I'm mistaken Colt is no longer producing handguns, and this 1911 would not have this new mechanism.

The Kaliban strikes again!
