The Smith Wesson M&P .45ACP has an excellent ergonomic grip and it has a ten round capacity. I’d have one in the nightstand for sure in a ban state.

 

I live in New York and I carry a p365-380, because the low recoil makes shot placement super easy

 

10mm hard cast. Not only will it kill your attacker, it will kill most of his relatives within a 3 mile radius. 💩

 

Wouldn't the heat generated in the proximate area you describe post an extreme risk of igniting massive wildfires?

 

Let’s just ban the banners.

 

No, I wouldn’t. When I have to travel to NYC or Chicago I carry my G19 with the standard 15 round magazines. I keep it concealed and don’t go anywhere with metal detectors and I’ve always been fine.

 

IL. is 15 rounds. I had a magazine place swear up and down it was a 10 round state but it isn't. No matter where you are in it.

 

I dont travel to ban states on my own dime, so that is my first defense. However, if we go back to the idiotic idea that the number of booolets will save lives, I'll probably go back to a 1911 pattern or an updated version there of in 9. I dont see caliber as that big an issue with modern ammo development.

 

This is all hypothetical, because I will never even visit such states let alone live there, but considering the scrutiny you would face for any kind of SD in those states, I would go old school; 38spl...it would be very difficult for an over zealous DA to crow about the "terrible destructive power" of the lowly 38, or the "high capacity" of my 6 shot, 686

 

Just make sure to buy Jerry Miculek's dvd series "How to run a revolver like a full auto".

 

My answer would be the same as it was when the topic was on the minds of a lot of people during the '94 federal ban and then the 2000 CA law.

.38SPL, .357MAG, 9, .40 & .45ACP. The only difference now is that I've added .380ACP, since the diminutive .380 pistols I own can fit in pockets that are too tight and short to accommodate my 5-shot snubs.

Higher or lower ammunition capacity doesn't influence my selection of handgun caliber. That's rabbit's foot thinking.

 

My EDC gun is my WCV Gen 5 Glock 19. When I travel (covered under my LEOSA Retired Officer creds) I take 10 round mags for it or carry my grip reduction Gen 3 Glock 26 with 10 round mags. In the past I have had my plane/flight diverted to "commie" 10 round states. Also, I used to live in WA and my mom still lives there, if I go to visit now - it will have to be with a 10 round mags.

I wouldn't live in a 10 round capacity state - unless it was the last state available for me to live in. (Not likely!)

 

Same as I carry now, Glock 30. 10 in the mag, 1 in chamber and 10 in reload. So far has not gone totally off the rail so I could carry something with a higher round count but don't. I am confident in what I carry.

 

10 rd limit- 43x, G30sf, Lcp max

8rd limit- 43, Shield 9/40, g36, 1911, p32/lcp

Non-expanding - .38 w/wadcutters, any of the above with Lehigh style bullets. P32 with fiocchi/S&B 73grain fmj.

 

Would you change calibers if you were limited to 10 rounds? Or 8 rounds in NYC? What caliber would you carry if you had a mag limit like that?

I must not understand the question. There are other calibers besides 9mm? No seriously, if I could only have one bullet, I'd still only carry 9mm. There's nothing any other caliber can do that 9mm doesn't do a whole lot better. Just kidding!

 

Would you change calibers if you were limited to 10 rounds? Or 8 rounds in NYC? What caliber would you carry if you had a mag limit like that?
Personally to me if I had to have less BB's in the mag I'd rather them be bigger ones.

Probably not. Caliber doesn't as much for me as platform and specifically shootability and size/weight.

 

Currently in a restricted state. My most carried caliber is .40. I prefer compact size for daily carry. Sig P229, sig P239, Glock 27, CZ P-06

I also carry a Glock 29/30 depending on my mood.

I moved to larger calibers when the “Safe Act” made me get rid of my grandfathered standard capacity mags

 

50 BMG, make your visit to their judicial system newsworthy 😂

 

I'm not in a ban state and I already carry 10+1 9mm or 7+1 .380 (with backup mags).

So, I don't think I'd change anything.

If I couldn't have JHPs, I might pick up a Shield .40 and maximize it with MagGuts spring kits.

Do any of the ban states limit the number of magazines carried? Or the number of guns carried?

 

CT doesn’t

 

Glock 30SF or HK45C

 

Good choices 👍

 

The only difference in my carry choices would be a G23.
Otherwise G30s, kimber ultra carry II, G27, G43 and a snub. Been in this state for 56 yrs, I’m obviously still here.

 

I would also look at a Gen. 3 or Gen. 4 Glock 23. 10 is not too far off from 13 and they are a nice balance for CC handgun all things considered.

 

Without some kind of significant context shift, no. I would carry 9mm.

 

If I could only have 10 rounds I want to make the most of what I'm able to use. 45 or 10mm.

 

My EDC strategy doesn't change. Glock 26 Gen 4.

 

I’d still carry a Glock 29 with a couple of spares. And I don’t live in a restricted state.

 

Glock-23 gen 3, with a 10+1, mag if restricted, and 180 gr Win PDX-1 in it.

 

40 S&W. Either a Glock 27 Gen 3 or a S&W Shield. Both are lighter and more compact than any 45 and have pretty much the same ballistics out of a short barrel when you compare non-Plus+P 185 grain 45 to 180 grain 40. And in spite of what those who are Recoil-phobic say, recoil is no worse with 180 grain 40 than 9mm Plus+P.

I know everyone is supposed to hate the 40 these days but it's really the most logical choice for concealed carry in a limited capacity gun that is lightweight and concealable.
