Shoulder Stocked Handgun

I'm considering buying a shoulder stocked handgun of the Inglis P35 or Mauser Broomhandle type. Useless that they may be, I think they're interesting and fun and smack of "that can't be legal in CA". Which leads to my question - how is it they're legal in CA and since they are, why don't companies make a new manufacture version for wide distribution?

They're only legal because they are an exempted, listed, curio and relic.

A new manufacture version would no longer be a collectible C&R but instead be a short-barreled rifle and subject to NFA controls.

Please read the Calguns Wiki

Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.
