If limited to 10 rounds, what do you carry?

[Echo40]

I'm curious what folks who live in states with restrictions on magazine capacity are carrying or otherwise what folks would carry should they move into a state with said restrictions.

I've been considering this lately and I've narrowed it down to either a Smith & Wesson M&P40 Compact 1.0 or an M&P45 Shield, but I'm curious what some other options might be.

What do you or would you carry?

EDIT: For the record, I've reached my decision and ended up somewhere inbetween with the M&P40 Shield 1.0 Performance Center.

 

[Richard Simmons]

Star PD in .45 ACP.

 

[biku324]

Browning High Power in 40 S&W.

 

[CQB27]

I kid, I kid.

Some days I carry a pistol/revolver with a less than 10 round capacity and I live in a state that doesn't restrict capacity.

 

[Truckman]

What do you or would you carry?

The same 1911's, or variations of the same, that I've always carried...Currently it's a Kimber Ultra BP10......Ben

 

[Rpg]

Colt 1911 in 45 acp.

Seven or eight rounds in the magazine is plenty for my purposes.

 

[Mule Packer]

Model 1911...either in .45 acp or 9mm. I have both.

 

[haywood]

Two J-Frames as usual.

Hmmm...interesting question. I live in a state with a ten-round limit, but older mags are grandfathered in, and if you have a carry permit you can use them.

At the risk of speaking heresy here on the Forum, my own first choice in a carry gun would be my Colt Commander, or my SIG-Sauer P-220 Legion SAO in Condition One with a 7-round magazine.

If you're thinking specifically of competitors to the M&P, with similar construction, the SIG P320 in .45 holds ten rounds, and the P365 holds 10 round of 9MM.

And then there are revolvers...I would feel well-protected with my 2-1/2" Model 19 or my 640 Pro...

 

[BAM-BAM]

Go to the guns I got back/settled into in the early 1990s some in anticipation of/insurance against the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban and/or its expansion.

S&W 3913/14s....... 8+1 9mm......I also have some of the flush fit 7rd mags for the 3rd Gen 39xx guns

Beretta 92 Compact Type-M single stack...... 8+1 9mm

Sig 245 Compact version of the 220 6+1 .45ACP spare mags for full size 220 with X-grip.

Sig 220 .45acp which replaced my 1911s in 1988 as my carry .45

S&W 3 inch Model 65 and 66s.


That said I've heard good things about the Sig 365. Edit: Just can't find a reason to justify getting into a new carry gun, backup gun,"extra" mags, holsters and mag pouches......

Here in Massachusetts, pre-ban (pre-1994) >10-round magazines are still legal, so the folks who wish to carry a pistol with >10 rounds tend to carry guns that can accept pre-ban magazines.

For those who prefer to carry newer design guns for which pre-ban magazines are not available, there are a ton of pistols that get you to 10-rounds. You do not have to carry a native 10-round mag capacity pistol. You simply use a 10-round crippled magazine.

Now, if you are talking about native 10-round mag capacity pistols only, I think the Sig P365 is the current big winner in the small concealed carry category.

Prior to the P365, I liked the Ruger SR9c as a smallish modern plastic pistol that was 10-rounds mag capacity native. You don't hear much about them anymore.

Bottom line: Tons of options. No one favorite, but the P365 is selling here faster than pancakes.

What do you or would you carry?

Same I carry now just with 10rd magazines.

But from your options I'd probably go with the Compact. I had a 9mm Compact and liked it very much. There was a TALO version that came with night sights I believe and X-grip extension so you can carry with full size magazines. Not that it matters to you, but I still bite myself in the rear for not having bought one when they were available.

 

[mrchuck]

My normal carry is a Kel-tec 9mm pistol. Or a Kel-Tec 40sw pistol.
Both have the waistband clip.
Both have seen action.

 

[K Frame Keith]

I live in PA and carry pursuant to a PA permit with no weapon or magazine restrictions. However we live near the people's republics of NY and NY, each with differing restrictions. There I carry pursuant to LEOSA permit but still must comply with state law. the PRNJ has a 10 round limit with no hollow points. The PRNY has a 7 round limit.
Usually I carry my 1911 with Hornady Critical Defense or a Chief Special with the same ammunition. I've changed all my carry ammo to the Critical Defense/Duty so I don't have to switch out every time I travel to Jersey.

 

[Old cop]

J Frame & one speedstrip.

 

[MP-5]

A ten shot revolver

 

[lawandorder]

No problem, a 5 or 6 shooter.

 

[PPS1980]

M&P or P226R in 357Sig. If you're limited in round count you might as well go with something a bit more stout than 9mm.

 

[Rob613]

Glock 26 or Shield 9mm with Magguts +2 so 10+1 with a reload in the truck for whichever one I’m carrying. It’s usually the Shield.

NY has no grandfather clause.

 

[Wyo]

Dan Wesson RZ-10 or Colt Delta, both in 10mm. Once in a while, and especially if I’m out in the mountains, I carry a Single Action Army in Colt 45.
We have no magazine restrictions here. These just happen to be the guns I like to carry.
