The bane of semi auto firearms.
You have to have reliable spare magazines or the gun becomes a hard to load single shot,,,
Provided it doesn't come equipped with a magazine safety.
Lose your magazines in this case and you are truely screwed.
Many manufacturers are following Beretta's leed of altering the magazines slightly on newer models so older models won't work in them and then discontinuing the older models completely and stopping the manufacture of spare parts and magazines.
Pure genius from a marketing standpoint and a source of constant irritation for the rest of us!
