Curiosity question about mags

[Saudade]

OK, so we seemed to go "off road" a bit. The 2.0 Fullsize grip is essentially the same as the 1.0. So mags from either gen will work regardless of their capacity.

The 2.0 Compact grip is a bit shorter thus the 15 round capacity. The fullsize mags will fit but have a gap. That's why they come with the spacers. So the 15 round 2.0 mags will not fit the fullsize of either gen (too short to lock in and feed). They will fit in a 1.0 Compact with a gap.

Just to make things more confusing. S&W does offer fullsize mags blocked to 15 rounds for the 1.0/2.0. These are still 17 round bodies for states like CO, and NJ (NJ limits recently changed to 10). The SKU is 3000247

Has your brain exploded yet?

I blame base ten.

Well since most states don't mention the numerical base value, I suppose you could put in 16dec which is 10hex.

I have an M&P 2.0 9 compact. If I were to move into or out of a 10rd state, could I simply swap out the mags? That’s basically what I was wondering.

That's one way subject to the length constraints discussed earlier.

Option two is to block the mags BEFORE you move to a restricted state using something like this:
