The Smith & Wesson 10XX guns utilize a 9 round single-stack magazine. The 45XX guns utilize an 8 round single-stack magazine. This all makes sense, given the smaller cartridge diameter.
Current production .45 guns, like the P220 and the 1911, most commonly utilize an 8 round magazine, usually with a slightly extended plastic base plate.
Why do the equivalent 10mm guns only offer 8 round capacity magazines instead of 9 like the original S&Ws?
