Para Ordnance still makes high cap magazines (or has them made). They are a Canadian company that sells pistols to police agencies in the US, and civilians worldwide (in markets that have not banned high caps). They included a coupon with pistols manufactured prior to the AW ban that can be redeemed now for two high cap mags.. at about $40 a pop. Delivery of those mags takes 8 to 12 weeks, therefore, I suspect that they are being ordered and manufactured to order - not being sourced from a warehouse.

Atticus -- while it is true that Para-Ord currently manufactures LEO magazines, I doubt very much that they are passing off 10+ round mags recently made as being pre-94.
Such action would violate numerous federal laws, and would almost certainly be much more expensive in terms of legal defense and/or fines than their profit.

Re Benjamin's comment on Para Ord "Hi-Cap" magazines, how about FACTORY STANDARD, as opposed to what one might quite properly refer to as the Bureaucrats Special, I suspect that prior to the 1994 legislation going into effect, Para as well as other gun and magazine makers, were working "extended schedules" and pounding out as many magazines as they could.
I also imagine, for whatever it might be worth, that the current LE only magazines come from the same source as the earlier ones did, whomever/wherever that might be.
As for the scheduled demise of this idiotic legislation, and the possible return to more sensible times, gentlemen and ladies, when did you last "speak" with your elected things on this, or any other matter of concern to you? The answers to that question, that you might come up with could well prove significant.

Good point GSB! They are STANDARD caps! The 10 round b.s. should be called the Clinton restriction editions. I am a new member and think that this forum is great.

Welcome, britinaz...
I'm looking forward to the AWB sunset too. And buying up some dirt-cheap 10-rd. mags...
(...& a few std. caps too.
