If we can have high-capacity 9mm pistols with 18 round mags., why are all .22 mags. limited to 10 rounds?
With staggered mags. using the same space as a 9mm, we should be able to get 25-30 rounds minimum, no? Even if not staggered, you would think that 20 rounds would at least be possible.
Is there a legal/regulatory hurdle in the way?
Is it the rimmed case?
The light weight of the .22 requiring a special spring?
I can't believe it would be as simple as manufacturers being a bunch of sheep and just blindly following some unwritten convention of 10 rounds "because that is what it has always been."
This is a pressing concern, and clearly one of the biggest issues facing modern society. Anyone have any insight on this?
