Glock 26....it's already my carry gun. If our"betters" decide we need less than that, I might get a .44 Magnum carry gun just out on spite.

Statistically speaking, the probability of having to use more than 3 rounds during a self-defense situation is highly unlikely in our country today. I'm not offering that up as a disarming comfort, just an understanding of what the average person "usually" faces when forced to defend.
I've been doing a bit of reading lately and decided that while I like carrying a mid-capacity gun, Taurus G2, I recently purchased a single stack, 7 round Taurus 709 to lighten the load . I always carry an extra magazine, never think of walking out the door with just the gun. So far my strategy is fairly simplistic; if I'm going to be out most of the day, I'll carry the G2. If I'm running in and out on a quick errand, the 709 should fit that need. We'll see how that goes for a while. Sorry you have to make these considerations. I really thought that things would go a bit smoother for us all for a while.

My sweet spot for carry is already 7-10 shot autos. I very rarely carry my 14rd CZ75 Compact. My Walther P99C is the cat's pajamas for me, a very sweet shooter!

I like a chance to shoot the new SIG P365; 10 round mag in a single stack sized gun; otherwise my G26. Kahr, J frame, and on and on

I'm a 1911 guy, so single stacks are no issue. And I have a few 10-round magazines for my Para-Ordnance double stacks.

The only gun I have that has a magazine that holds over 10 rounds is my CZ75b.
It came with one 15 and one 10 round magazine back in the Clint** era. I would vigorously oppose any and all legislation that would attempt to lower the magazine capacity of anything - mainly because it desn't effect me directly. What does have a direct effect on me is: It was tried before - it's been in effect in a lot of places for years & guess what? The overall situation of violent use of a firearm against masses of people has just gotten worse. There's a well know rule in troubleshooting that says, "restore to the last known working condition". This is what we should be fighting for. Get rid of all the bad laws that have been written since these mass shootings began. |

G29 though consideration would be given for the G32.

Still have some 10 round Glock 23 mags from last foolishness. So would probably go that route.
Carry a Glock 43 in warm weather so no need to change. Or at least till they decide to ban these also |

I have several choices I could go to if we were limited to 10-rd mags, however, since I already have decades of experience carrying a 1911, I'd likely go ahead and carry my 1911 commander in 9mm, or my Shield9.

Star Ultrastar M205 in .40S&W would probably end up as EDC...

I rotate between a LCP, P64, 1911, or Springfield XD sub compact 9mm. The only one it would affect would be the XD. IF they wouldn't grandfather in mags over 10, I'd pin or block them to lower the capacity. But fingers crossed I'll never have to worry about it.

It wouldn't impact my EDC. I carry a G27.
