Several other types of standard-capacity magazines (i.e. Beretta 92 or Sig P226) were made before the state law's cutoff date and you can legally own those magazines. If any of those magazines worked in an M&P, your M&P would not be limited to 10-round magazines.
Are you sure that modifying other pre-ban magazines to fit the M&P would not be viewed as "manufacturing" a magazine with respect to the state law?

Thanks for understanding my issue! As long as the magazine is not modified to the extent that it no longer works in the originally intended pistol, I'm totally legal (it is the same standard as the Federal AWB). So, if I need to cut a new mag release slot, but the old mag release slot still works in the original gun, I haven't manufactured anything, because it is still a 92fs magazine.
