If limited to 10 rounds, what do you carry?

[mikeruns]

Maybe a Glock 27.

 

[Fastbolt]

That's silly . . .

The whole thing is arguably silly.

However, that's far from the first time some legislators have decided to craft a law that's "silly".

If it's the law, it's the law, until such time as someone has the support to change the law, or a court overturns it.

Sigh.

I have a Smith & Wesson 625-8 Apex Custom 45 ACP/4"

I have a Smith & Wesson 625-8 Apex Custom 45 ACP/4" and I'm thinking of carrying Federal 230gr. HSTs. I currently carry 230gr. Hydra-Shoks. I'm an Elmer Keith type old fart Army vet.


Custom worked 625-8: Full trigger and action job consisting of the Apex Evolution IV parts kit and a level IV ICORE action work, chamfered cylinder, Hi-Vis replacement front sight and fully adjustable rear sight, bead blasted stainless finish, mooning and de-mooning tools, competition moon clip holder, Houge grips, Pachmayr grips, and smooth walnut JM grips, two polymer holsters, a USPSA moon clip rig, the factory case, and numerous moon clips.

 

[Walter Rego]

As I live in California with a 10 round magazine limit and I believe the spirit of the OP's question was what kind of magazine fed weapon would you carry, another vote for a CZ75 PCR loaded with 9mm Gold Dots or the equivalent from another premium ammo maker.
10+1 capacity, a decocker for a DA first shot and an alloy frame for 27 ounce weight.

Or a Colt Lightweight Commander .45 with a standard 7 round mag and one in the chamber. I don't trust the 8 round 1911 mags and don't like mags that have extended floorplates on carry guns.

Springfield Armory XD .45

Well since I also currently reside in the People's Republic of California for the last six years my auto is a Springfield Armory XD .45 Service Model and I purchased some 10 round mags just in case since the socialists passed the 10rd. magazine ban and put my 13rd. mags in doubt.

 

[Muss Muggins]

You argued a bunch of silly propositions. Not real laws. Your argument is silly . . .

The whole thing is arguably silly.

[Sayoc01]

Only 10 rounds....Glock 30s!

 

[Echo40]

The more I've looked into it, the more I'm leaning towards the M&P40c or the M&P40 Subcompact 2.0, which are actually more or less the same gun. I like it because it holds 10rds in a standard magazine, but can also take standard 15rd M&P40 magazines as well. That way, one way or another, I'm covered.

I know that I don't necessarily need more than 6 rounds and .40 S&W is no more effective against "jackboys" than 9mm or whatever, but carrying a gun that can hold more bullets which are larger in diameter makes me feel more secure, much like having a spare tire. So regardless of whether I have to use my firearm to fend off jackboys or persuade them to help me jack-up my car and change a flat tire, I can do so with a bit more confidence than I could carrying my LCP alone.

Ed Brown Kobra Carry 45 acp

Ed Brown Kobra Carry 1911 in 45 cap.

I was carrying a S&W 21-4 in 44 special until the streets became so violent.

1911 seven plus one, a quicker reload and .02 ounces lighter.

And a j frame in the pocket.

 

[IAhunter]

I don't live in a restricted state, but if I were to travel to one I'd carry my EDC. A Glock 27, 9+1.

I would only put 10 in the mag , and have had the mags for years , would any cops even enforce this liberal type law ?????? but 1911 would be my gun if I take it . in stead of MP9 or Glock .

Here, it's about capacity not how many rounds are in the mag. A 12 or 15 round mag with 10 rounds in it would still be in violation of the law. Doesn't matter how long you've had the mag.

Yes, they enforce it. Especially game wardens and troopers. Sheriffs and locals are hit and miss.

New York had a provision of the SAFE Act that restricted magazines to 10rds of ammunition regardless of when it was manufactured or when it was obtained. Meaning if you had what was originally a pre-ban 30rd mag for a AR-15, it had to be pinned or riveted to accept no more then 10rds.

Part of the law that was thrown out by the courts was that it also prohibited possession of a magazine if it is loaded with more than 7rds of ammunition, unless you are at a range.

So if you had a legal 10rd mag for a AR-15 at your home, you legally could not load it with more than 7rds.

Mags over 10 rounds were banned long before the SafeAct. The safe act took away the grandfather clause.

Yes, the high capacity mag would have to be pinned to be legal but must be permanent. It's easier to just get 10 round mags so there's no question.

The 7 rounds in a 10 round mag was deemed unconstitutional in circuit court but the law was never changed. People have still been charged with it but it's usually only in connection to illegal guns.

Yeah, pre-ban mags were legal if they were possessed prior to September 13, 1994. NYS copied the Federal AWB verbatim. And yes, LE has arrested and charged people for violating the more than 7rd deal even after the courts said it was a no go. A number of those arrests were by the very Sheriffs in Upstate that said they wouldn't enforce the SAFE Act.

As for the trouble of pinning mags versus buying new. Some guns don't have new production 10rd mags. So it is pin or remove it from NYS.

 

[Old cop]

Before I switch from my summer LCP to a J Frame I spend time at the range w/the J, at least 100 rounds, shooting self defense & reload drills.

 

[uncleted327]

I know in my section of upstate NY I have never once had any police officer ever inquire about my handgun other than a Game Warden one time, and all he wanted was to see our permits. NY isn't a must disclose state, so I'm not sure how it would even come up commonly unless you have a habit of getting arrested or something.

 

[REM 3200]

1911A1 or just take the 14 round mag out of my CZ 2075 RAMI and put the 10 round in.

 

[TTSH]

I think he answered the question perfectly. I'm the same way. I look in the safe and carry what makes me happy that day.

The whole idea of a "carry rotation" is bad.

Different strokes for different folks. I don't have a safe full of carry guns for nothing. I'd say I'm pretty good for with all of them. I do have my favorites... and where I am going and what I am doing (and wearing) will determine which I choose.

I'm not real big on the instant unthinking automatic reflex action thang. Too old for that. Fortunately, the need hasn't come up yet.
