I was wondering if it's cali compliant.
I'm not a lawyer either but what Chooch said is true. California compliant just means that it's on an approved list for sale. Weapon makers have to pay an independent test lab demonstrate that each weapon offered for sale meets or exceeds California standards for safety and reliability.
The three things that I do know will get you into trouble are carrying your weapon, bringing high capacity magazines into the state, or bringing in anything that looks aggressive or assault weaponish. If driving the pistol must be in a locked container, preferably in the trunk but at least inaccessible to the driver or passengers. It must be unloaded with the ammunition stored separately, and no magazines may be loaded.
I'd suggest leaving your weapon at home if you are staying at a hotel because it will probably get stolen if left in the room.
On a different, more gun friendly note. Nearly every year a southern California range puts on a shooting fair. It's usually the weekend before Memorial Day. Most of the major manufacturers show up and you can shoot (yup it's hands on) just about anything legal for the price of the ammunition. A real hands on try out everything event. A great event to put on your calendar. I go every year.
