Does Kimber or SA sell in California?

That state has the same destructive testing - except that it's required every year! Moreover, a gun that meets the CA test has met most of the MA requirements, making this state almost a "freebie" by comparison. Once on the MA list, a gun stays there; no re-testing required.

SO, if a handgun is sold in CA, about the only reason for it not being on the EOPS list is manufacturer inertia.

Note that there is NO destructive testing required for the Target Roster and the AG is almost entirely out of the equation.
