10 round restricted magazines

For a pistol like a CZ75BD 9mm I purchased here in California with 10 round restricted magazines, is it just the magazine that's been modified to restrict it to 10 rounds or did they do something to the pistol itself so it can't except the 16 round magazines that come with CZ75 9mms sold in states where there are no such capacity restrictions?

There's an electric switch in the bottom of the mag that notifies Nancy Pelosi whenever you try & stuff in that 11th round. [;)]
Actually, as mentioned the mag not the gun is different. If you examine the mag there's probably a crease or indent somewhere down the side that restricts the follower from dropping down too far. Some makers like Browning use a 2 piece mag with a plastic bottom unit, some even use a roll type spring, attached to the top of the mag, that uncurls to a length as to allow only 10 rounds.
