Are there any 20+ round wondernines?

[StephenT]

With the AWB gone, I'm wondering if there are any wondernines out there with 20+1 magazine capacity? Excluding weapons such as the TEC-9 and the full capacity 30+ magazines that don't fit flush (haven't seen any with more than 17 rounds) Does such a gun exist?

They don't fit flush but Sig makes a 20rd mag for the 226 and CZ makes a 25rd mag for the CZ-75.

Lots of people use +5's on G17 mags, for 22 rounds in the mag.

There are extended mags available for the BHP. The Steyr GB holds 18+1.

I think 18 is about the max for a flush fit mag. The Glock 17 is 17 +1. I thought the Steyr GB was 17+1 as well, but if it is indeed 18+1, then that's the highest I've heard.

Some flush-fit CZ 75 mags will hold 16. It depends on the follower. CZ is coming out with a 18 round 75 mag for a new competition version of the 75, but I believe it extends out a little with a basepad.

FN Five-seveN holds 20 with a flush mag, IIRC. It's hard to think of any wondernines that actually hold 20 with a flush mag, though Glock and Steyr come close. There just doesn't seem to be enough room there for 20 rounds of 9x19.

Does Para have one?

My P16-40 holds 17 rounds of .40 S&W.

 

[Marko Kloos]

With flush-fitting mags, the most you'll get in 9mm is a Steyr GB or H&K VP70Z (18 rounds), or a Glock 17 (17 rounds)....unless there's a 1911 widebody race gun in 9mm out there that can hold more.

 

[StephenT]

Thanks for all your replies, folks. I guess such a beast does not exist yet. It would be great to have that kind of capacity in a reasonably sized 9mm, though.

 

[Island Beretta]

Sure, Stephen.. but then someone could come and say a 25+ would be nice.. where do we draw the line.. FWIW, the new Beretta PX4 will carry flush fitting 20 round mags..

 

[armoredman]

The new CZ SP01, a full size steel duty pistol, comes standard with an 18 round magazine, with a base plate that does stick out a little, like a custom bumper. However, Angus Hobdell, CZ's company shooter, is almost ready to market a kit that converts it to 19 rounds safely, with perfect functioning. Add the one up the spout, and there is your 20.
The SP01 will come in both a decocker and a safety varient, and the first shipment is on the way.

Para makes an 18+1 double stack 1911. With Dawson base pads it should get at least 23 in there. My Para .40 gets 21 in the make with extended basepads.

 

[MoNsTeR]

STI/SV flush-fit (126mm) mags should be able to fit 19 with a +1 follower.

Given that cartridge size didn't change when the ban ended, you're still stuck with the fact that you can only put so many rounds in the space of a gun's grip -- and still hold the gun.

If you want more than 15 - 17 (in a flush-fit), you've got to have a longer grip or a fatter one, either of which presents its own problems.
