Beretta 10rd mags are garbage. I live in Massachusetts so we also have the high cap ban, but it is absolutely in your best interest to try to find 15rd preban mags. If you cant find them, maybe try mecgar 10rd mags.

The 10rd mags that came with my gun are extremely stiff, and the rounds will sometimes nosedive and not feed. I found three 15rd mags and haven't experienced a single problem at all. Even trying to unload the 10rd mags by hand half the time the rounds wont come out and the case rims just jam up on the feed lips and require a smack on the magazine for them to free up. I had four 10rd mags and every single one did this.

Basically what Beretta did was instead of just adding a spacer on the bottom of the 10rd mags to keep them in the same configuration as the 15rd, they added a dimple up the length of the magazine body turning the top 2/3's of the magazine basically into a single stack. As a result, the magazines suck are extremely stiff and don't feed right.
No can do, if you didnt registered your 15 round mags by Jan 1,2014, they are illegal to buy OR bring into the state.
I suppose you could take a chance, but it isnt worth the risk.
