No magazines over 10rds unless they are "preban".
how can they tell?

Depending on the manufacturer, by looking at it. Many manufacturers make design changes that your average customer doesn't pay attention to, but someone looking to make a case would be able to find out. Glock, for example, has made a few changes since '94 that are readily discernible and are detailed on this and other forums.

magazines are pretty bland
I remember the ubiquitous AWB "LEO only" stamp on some mags... but who's to say, since this isn't a nation wide deal?... Why would people make DC post ban mags?
If people are still making mags that are the same as they ever were.. just because DC makes a 10 round limit, doesn't mean everyone is going to start stamping their mags PRE or POST for one corner of the nation... So if in current production for the rest of the US... how do you tell?
-Glock not withstanding... I can't speak to that since I have no knowledge of them. But other firearms have been the same for quite some time. And after market mags...

CA too. The unfortunate thing is until those precedences are broken, no changes in favor of standard capacity mags will see the light of day.

"The District currently allows residents to register revolvers, which typically hold six or eight rounds and cannot be modified to hold more. Lawmakers and public safety officials said they want in part to limit gun owners' potential to overpower police."
for some reason, this statement scares the crap out of me...

So who will register the first AR15 in a pistol configuration?

I say just keep making it hell for D.C. by registering things that force them to rework their laws. I want this magazine capacity crap to go away though.

90 days ago, all privately owned guns were illegal in DC. Now people are upset by a 10 round restriction. I am ecstatic. We are winning. The antis are on the run.
Sure, we need to continue the fight, but how can anyone say that we are not taking the fight to the enemy?

Except that many people with pre-ban mags get rebuild kits (it's legal in all the states I know of) that incorporate the newer features into the old mag 'shell'.
I don't live in a restricted state, but a few of my G19 mags have newer followers in them.
At least they're honest: KNOW YOUR PLACE SERF, bow to your overlords.
The decision has nothing to do with stopping crime or permitting self defense for the non-uniformed people. It is all about protecting the king's men.
They do NOT want you to fight back when they kick in your door at night.

Well sorry D.C. but that is the entire point of the Second Ammendment - to be able to outgun the Oppressors....

IF One Cannot . . .
Three shots from an accomplished, practiced shooter should be sufficient to quell any impending disastrous situation. Restricting an unpracticed, frightened lady about to be beaten and raped to merely ten rounds sounds as unAmerican as it gets! I recommend all ladies to join a shooting club and practice. Maybe one well-placed shot would then suffice. cliffy

He will have to. He has no grounds to continue it since DC has accepted that he DOES have the right to the firearm he wanted to register, IE a 45 cal 1911, because it's a single stack magand does not exceed the 10 rounds "limit".

If you read the proposed regs, it's not the pistol that's the issue, it's the magazine. He could register that pistol, but could only own magazines for it that hold 10 rounds or less.
Now, the press release language and the language in the DC code may be totally different. We'll have to wait and see what passes.
FWIW Heller shouldn't drop his lawsuit just yet since 1) Congress hasn't passed anything (only the House has; the Senate hasn't taken up the bill and may not), and 2) DC hasn't changed their laws.

Odd that they would be more afraid of the law abiding citizens of DC than they are of the criminals ....

Dick Heller has registered his .22 revolver.
DC's new temporary regulations should allow Heller to register his 1911.
I hope Heller has a Beretta 92 waiting to be registered.

And a Calico Liberty 50 after that.
In less a calendar year, DC has gone from a total ban, to being more lax than CA, it's not over, but it's progress. Here in CA we have the 10 round mag cap, one per month (private party sales excluded) an approval list, etc, etc. We also have a fairly ridiculous "assault weapon" ban and definition thereof that deprives us of any modern carbines or long guns with detachable mags ( makes the SKS carbine about the best you can do for a semi-automatic weapon for defense).
I'm happy for DC residents, I certainly hope the national trend towards restoration of gunowners rights reaches us here in California sooner rather than later.

Someone buy Heller a standard capacity Glock 17 and have him try to register that. Is there a better "common use" standard capacity pistol?

Just for that I'd register a S&W .500!
