Does anyone have a definite lead time from S&W or another retailer regarding the availability of the 10 Round Short Magazine #SW19924.

I really don't understand the drive for 10 round shorts. I want a couple for bench, but won't pay more than $20.04 that S&W sells them for directly (and I'd rather get them at discount from a big retailer). But it's not like there's a rush on to get your 10s before they ban 25s, so why are people paying $50-75 each for a 10 short? Is it just a matter of impatience? For me I needed to get my 7 25s before my state bans new mags over 10 (Governor just proposed yesterday and majority of legislature and senate appear supportive). For me the 10/25 was "perfect" because I really could use it either way and because I already own it pre-ban I'm all set. Curious.
I tried the "notify" with all of the retailers and got 3 or 4 notices in the last 2 weeks. I instantly went to the website and "poof" gone already. I got to 44mag when there were something like 60 in stock, but I wasn't going to pay $35 plus shipping for a post-ban 10.
I think I'll just be patient. I have 2 back orders for 25s from late December / Early January. One from S&W and the other from a retailer. If my state's ban goes into effect, I'll redirect to a buddy out of state.

I honestly wanted a couple of the short 10's for bench shooting and for squirrel hunting. I found a deal the other day and bought 5 locally at a much higher price than I wanted to spend but bought them anyway. I am keeping 2 and 3 are on ebay. Hoping they sell for enough to make the two I keep at or below retail for me.
My 15-22 is an all around gun for fun, practice, and hunting so I actually like the shortys as well as the 25s.

I have 4 25's & 2 10's so I'm set for now! If a ban goes into effect I'm still going to use them! To **ll with Obozo and his cronies!
I found your auction on there, and boy did someone drive the price up. If you get what the bid is going for, congrats.

Yeah someone seems to want them pretty bad. Way worse than I do. I have been watching a few sets of three for the last couple of weeks and the price they are at right now is right about where they all end up.

I have 6 of the S&W factory 25rd mags and will most likely get a few more (if they ever become available). The 10rd mags are just more appealing to me. I personally think the 25s are too long -- if someone could make them a bit shorter it would be better. I'm holding out - no way am I paying $100 for a plastic magazine.....

I feel the same way! With the way states are going and limiting capacity to 10-15 rounds, I hope that someone starts manufacturing 10 round shorts soon. As of today Missouri has no restriction but I would rather have the 10 shorts for 90% of my shooting.
I live in NY...10 rounders are all we can use...loaded to 7 only.

The shorty's will be available by the buckets for $16-$17. Just dont get excited. The hoarders will have their fill soon enough.
I just like the look of the 10 rd shorts (have 3) vs. the 25 rd, the 25 looks like it should be in an AK ala "banana clip" (yes I know it is a mag not a clip) I have a backorder pending from Cabelas for one of their 25 rd 3 packs, but once they become available I'll order some add'l 10 shorts, but not at nutty prices...
Would be nice for S&W/someone to come up with a shorter 25-30 rd rotary mag but not holding my breath.

Retailers will no longer be able to sell 10 round mags after that date to/in NY. That will take away from the demand to some degree. Will it affect the price? Who knows.....
Edit: I didn't see you lived in NY.

April 15 10 round mags will illegal in NY. Those who have them before the date will be grandfathered in and you can only load 7 rounds. I bet 7 round mags aren't coming for a while.

Talked to Randy at plinker tactical this morning and he said they were working on making 10 round mags for the people who can't have anything more he said maybe in a month or two.
