Currently it looks like NO Rugers are legal for sale in CA.

I'm moving somewhere else in a few years. I bought the S&W M&P Shield .40 not as a first choice, although its a nice piece, but out of a dwindling selection of what I could legally buy in CA. As it is, I had to buy it from a shop in Kentucky and have it shipped to an FFL here. The FFl's here wanted to wait list me for their allocation for 3-6 months. IIRC I paid the FFL $75, so my net over S&W list was like $15, who cares. Without actually seeing one, I think I would have preferred one of the Ruger LC9's.
