I'm not carrying a pistol designed for more than 10 rounds with a 10 round mag.

Thinking along those lines, theres no need to carry a spare mag or reload at all, for whatever might happen, stoppage, run empty, whatever.

I don't own any handgun mags that are 10 rounds or less, and I don't foresee myself buying any. I guess in that situation, my screen name says it all.

Was thinking the same thing ...

Good luck with that. Some of us still have to work for a living. Guessin' you were never a 1911 guy, eh?

First, I have to amend my previous post. I actually did just get a Buckmark that came with 3 ten round mags. So, I do own a few.

Second, I get your point, we all gotta work. I guess it depends on what you have to do for a living. I work alone 90% of the time, just me and groups of dogs, I don't think they will say anything.

And, no, never was a big 1911 guy.
 
Carried a full size Beretta 92 for years. May go to a 96 as they only hold 11rds and giving up 1 doesn't bother me as much as giving up 5 or 7 (new Beretta mag option).

I see .40 and 45 making a come back. If you can only have 10 you may as well have 10 large ones. Saw that happen to some extent with the AWB in 94. That did little good but sell more guns.
 
I could foresee .40, .45, and revolvers in general making a comeback given the criteria for a second nat'l AWB.
 
Astonishingly, New York has a 7 round limit, and Kimber .45s hold exactly that. I parted with a Steyr that was never imported with a full-cap mags.
Wouldn't think of justifying limiting mag capacity, but my carry stuff maxes out at 10.

@halfmoonclip: for future reference, NYSRPA v. Cuomo invalidated the 7-round limit. The limit is ten rounds since 2015. Here's the link to the ruling.

I doubt we'll see this happen but for the sake of argument I'll play! Back in the AWB days it didn't affect me all since I carried a BHP at the time and had 20+ mags for it (and 3 BHPs). My other guns at the time were a Star BM, Star PD and Colt Commander in ,38 Super none of which held more than ten rounds. My two most carried sidearms right now are my HK P2000 (13 rounds +1) and Beretta Nano (8 rounds +1). If for whatever reason I was limited to 10 rounders I can find those pretty easily for my P2000 and the Nano wouldn't be affected. The sidearm I'd planned getting next is either an HK P30sk or VP9sk, both of which just hold ten. I doubt I'd go out and get a gun designed to hold less ammo although maybe I could use that as an excuse to get an HK45.:D

It's unlikely that I'll ever go back to a 1911, or any other SAA. Doctrinally I have been won over to the notion of having no safety or other control save the trigger needed to bring the firearm into action. It took a long time to get to the point where my thumb isn't swiping at a nonexistent safety lever!:rofl: But I'm not going to train that step back in without a fight. The LEM is ideal for me; no safety but I like having a hammer.

On rare occasion I will carry a wheelgun, and I suppose that would continue to happen in the same situations I carry one now.

I carry an LCP2 380 6+1 or a XDM 45 9+1 (I do have 13 round magazines for the XDM, but don't carry it with them). I also carry revolvers. I don't have a huge concern for more capacity.
 
To actually answer the question asked, what I have that is "ten rounds or fewer as it left the factory" is a Glock 30, a Colt 01091 (.45 ACP) and a Smith & Wesson 27-2.

BUT...I am stuck with 10 rounds in NYS. So all of my autoloaders are covered.
 
Cheers! No one may be called upon to carry a ten round mag in a pistol designed to carry more than 10 rounds. This is because pistols that can accept any magazine that can carry more than ten would be included in the upcoming "buyback or tax-it restrictions". The upcoming legislation wouldn't be like the Clinton Sunset Laws. They're going to close that "loophole" by including the gun's sheer ability to accept a magazine that goes beyond a 10-round capacity. So, for example, a Beretta 92FS would still be designated for sellback or taxation even if it only carries a 10-round mag.
 
I think Glock designed the 43x and 48 with incompatible magazines to any normal Glock just for the reason Zeabed stated.

This is the point most are missing, gun is being defined by capable capacity not mag capacity.
 
Many (MANY) of us will be forced to sell our guns to the government (confiscation) or pay $200 per gun and $200 per magazine. Criminals pay zero. Probably won’t be a problem with social workers replacing cops. Everything will be defused and we’ll ride unicorns to work.

Lots of people think 10 rounds is enough and that’s fine, but we should be unified in the fight against an unreasonable government confiscating and taxing the hell out of law abiding citizens.

This is the first I have heard of this as far as handguns go. Y'all got a link to show me where it says that?
This guy explains things pretty well. Or at least what Biden is proposing. Nothing is written in stone yet.



Funny how the NRA seems to be mute on this, but maybe they are just waiting to see how best ot maximize their mailings for money.

With even, or a R Senate (depending on Georgia) and losing a huge chunk of their lead in the house, I doubt Biden tries anything first two years and hope to get more in '22.

Even so, I expect cities, counties and entire states to tell the Feds to pound sand if they go through with his plan. it started with Sanctuary Cities but it cuts both ways.

Edit: to stay on topic, the more I consider it, the more I think I'd get a lightweight 1911 in 9mm or finally use it as an excuse to branch into .38 Super

Dan Wesson Guardian 9mm.... 9+1 in an alloy commander-style 1911. I think it’s probably about as good as you could get under the constraints. Sadly I don’t own one, just got to play with one earlier this year. And they’re apparently discontinued now -but I bet they’d be back in a hurry in the case of a non-political nationwide idiotic ridiculous magazine capacity restriction :D

The Sig P365 is a great gun too. And its flush-fit mags are 10 round.

A hypothetical capacity restriction really doesn’t impede CCW as much as, say, home defense. And if I’m not going to be packing it then I don’t care if it’s heavy... so for that use case I’ll take a full sized steel 1911, in its proper caliber. Not too many folks looking down the muzzle of a .45 are going to say “what? Only 7+1 rounds? This will be a pushover...”
 
I think whats being missed here is, its not the capacity of the mag thats the problem, its if the gun itself can "take" a mag of more than 10 rounds. And for many guns, that will be the issue, including things like any of 1911's, and a lot of others.

To be realistic here, its looking like youre going to be limited to autos that dont have any mags available over 10 rounds, and revolvers.

I don’t see how this is possible. A semi-automatic’s capacity is theoretically only limited by the cowardice or prudence of the aftermarket suppliers. In other words, an LCP could theoretically be fitted with a 75 round drum mag, IF somebody developed one. But if you outlaw mags that don’t fit flush, all you do is effectively mandate that guns are more concealable... it criminalizes stupidity or inefficiency. If I design a new gun with a fat, ergonomic handle for the western male to get a full five finger grip, and I chamber it in .32, because it’s a recreational target pistol and I like that round.... are they going to declare it illegal because somebody could theoretically make a flush fit double stack 20rd mag? Or a non-flush 200rd drum, to replace the 10 round single stack I ship it with?
 
Just an FYI, ProMag makes a 15 round mag for the LCP. No LCP for you! :p

No 1911 either. ;)

Instead of letting that guy tell me what it says, I went to the website itself, read the entire "gun control" policy. Nowhere does it state that there will be a NFA registration for handguns with capacity over 10. There is enough on there to be worried about without adding false claims.

I’m not sure they factor in aftermarket mags but what gun was designed for.

FWIW the Biden campaign has changed their website about gun control

what I read in August is basically what’s in the video above.

Nefarious or not they changed how things were listed and now it appears to link to the Gabby Giffords plan.
