If the firearm is not submitted it is the same as failing the tests. Some gun makers like Colt have actually stated that they find MA laws confusing and contradictory so they won't even try to comply.
Not sure if that's the reason for the Springer XD but it could easily be the case

Sounds suspiciously like the California "safe" gun roster...
Manufacturer pays an extortion fee for the state to test it, and then it's legal for an FFL to sell. Then it's up to the manufacturer to ensure the extortion fee is paid again every so often to keep it on the list.
The crappy part about the Cali one, is that if the company (say Sig) makes a black P226 and a silver P226, but only sends the black one, the silver one is illegal to sell, regardless of being the same physical firearm.
We just recently got the LCI and magazine disconnect added to the requirements. Ugh.
