To commemorate April 15 2013 as both the day NY state's 7-round magazine loaded limit goes into affect and Federal/State Tax Day lets list all the handguns (and rifles and shotguns if you want) which comply.

Please list all handgun models which have a 7-round magazine or capacity. +1 in the chamber is allowed.

I will start off with the Smith & Wesson Pre-Rail 3913TSW. It has a 7-round magazine.

To everyone living in a free state or even a state with a 10-round limit, don't let this happen to you.

NOTE: Handguns with 8-10 rounds including 10-round magazines loaded to 7-rounds are legal in NY, but are NOT to be included in this post.

If you can still find them;

the early tactical 3913s were 7 rds. and

S&W did make a 7rd flush fit (steel bottom) mag for the 3913/14. IIRC it shipped with the early "Lady Smith"s


LOL but liberals actions always generate just the opposite of their intent......... a lot more people in NY will be getting shot w/ .45s. The gun of choice will be the 1911 pattern in .45apc. !!!!!!!!!

The excellent Star M-43 Firestar. Gun of the Year back around 1991 or so. Kinda like a 1911 scaled down for .380 , yet it's really a 9mmP. Original mags hold 7 rounds. A bit heavy because it's all steel , but it'll handle the hottest +P ammo. Accurate too. Like it so much I own 2.



Remember the New York reload is a second loaded gun!;)

The 1911 and Shield will likely be the autopistols of choice. I'll be carrying revolvers if I go home for my aunt's 100th birthday celebration in October.
 
I agree with all of the 1911 in .45acp fans 100%
My dad told me that when his uncle returned to New York from fighting in Frace during World War I, he brought back a 1911; it worked for New Yorkers then and will today.
 
Last year I bought a Pachmayr pistol box. It had these inside, fit the bill perfectly as there is no way to put an 8th rd in. Just in case I lose my mind and move back north. Joe
 
Sig Sauer P 238 .380....very nice gun. Comes with one 6 round mag. +1. although you can get a 7 round mag.
 
My Springfield XDs .45 has both 5 and 7 round mags available. My Kimber Ultra Raptor ll and Shield 9mm have 7 round mags as well.
 
Sig 239 in 357 Sig or 40 S&W. 7 in the mag should keep them goofy New York libs worry free...... At least for now.
 
If I have to go through NY, it will be with my Colt Officer's Model - 7 rounds of .45 in a concealable package.

Just don't leave it behind at the Motel while passing thru.

South Carolina Man Arrested for Handgun Possession - Rochester



The maid found it under the pillow. The hotel called the Sheriffs/Office. The Deputy had the staff call the guy from the hotel on his cell# he listed upon registering and ask him if he forgot 'something' when he checked out.

He said he did and would return to pick it up. He was arrested when he got back to the motel.

If he hadn't unpacked it and been locked in a case,,would FOPA been in play?
You can't be sure in places like NY.
 
We dont have to buy guns with a capacity of 7 rounds or less, buy whatever you want.

In 15 days we will be "back" to loading "10" rounds - whatever you did before the unsafe act was signed.

I hope so, but you might be too hopeful...

In New York City they are ONLY allowed to load 5 rounds in a magazine.

The 10 round magazine loaded to 7 rounds could stand the court challenge.
 
NOTE my NY State Senator wanted to make it 5 rounds only for the entire state for all guns.
 
My brother in NY is buying a Shield for this reason.

I would think brother will be searching high and low.

At my LGS, they won't even allow me to place an order for the 9mm Shield until they catch up filling the orders they have now.
Even though I was willing to pay the total amount in Cashola.:rolleyes:
