This statement is not correct. CA-based FFLs cannot sell guns in-state that are not on the approved list even if they are already in CA. The cited language lists importation as only one of the restricted activities. Add to it the sale, lending, etc. as separate no-nos (that's a legal term). They cannot take the gun into their inventory (for example, for a consignment sale), but they can do private party transfers.
The whole list business is idiotic. I have a 1960s-era High Standard Model 106 Citation tied up at an FFL because DOJ has not yet approved the gun for the Exempt List of Olympic Pistols (even though Citations have been used for NRA Small Bore for over 50 years, and even though High Standard - the original company - went out of business more than 20 years ago). Other High Standards are exempt, although the gun that won several Olympic Gold Medals, a slant-grip Olympic, is NOT on the exempt list. Neither is the 10X (a custom-tuned version of the Citation that is the most accurate pistol High Standard ever built). The Sharpshooter - a field gun with fixed sights - is on the list. Go figure.
USA Shooting is supposed to provide the CA AG with a list of guns that should be exempted, but they haven't gotten around to adding various High Standards that have been used for Olympic-style shooting for more than five decades. I've been bugging them since late-2004 with zero assistance. Why they are so non-responsive is a mystery to me.
The P22 is not going to get on the exempt list, since it's basically a plinking gun (nothing personal, but that's a fact).
Good luck on this project, and be sure to comply fully with the law.

Quoted: The buyer is in Ca. The seller is in another state for school, but it seems claims Ca. as home. The buyer and seller are on different ends of the state and it seems they can't meet face to face for the PTP transfer where both parties must be at the FFL to do the transfer. Since it is going FFL to FFL it needs to be on the list. The only way to get something not on the list is to get it FTF, PTP.

Wrong. The firearm is already in the state so the certified list has nothing to with it. The certified list is only for firearms coming into the state.
Edited to add from the DOJ certified list webpage
Effective January 1, 2001, no handgun may be manufactured within California, imported into California for sale, lent, given, kept for sale, or offered/exposed for sale unless that handgun model has passed firing, safety, and drop tests and is certified for sale in California by the Department of Justice. Private party transfers, curio/relic handguns, certain single-action revolvers, and pawn/consignment returns are exempt from this requirement.
