We know what happens when you limit the magazine to ten rounds. We already tried this. What happens is:

1. People buy pistols in bigger calibers (10mm, .45) since they can't have bigger magazines

OR

2. People buy very small compact pistols in the smaller calibers.

I wonder if the Glock 26 would have even been made if it wasn't for the 1994 ban? However, it is worth pointing this out to people who support magazine bans since both are pretty well documented - even by the antis themselves (see VPC's Pocket Rockets scarefest)
