I'm thinking about the last few, pre-October 1 purchases. Seems to me one of the things I need to be thinking about are those handguns that BOTH:
(1) Normally come with +10 magazines
AND
(2) Extra magazines are almost impossible to find at regular retailers or gun shows, you basically have to order them from the manufacturer or find them on-line if you want one. Not just temporary shortages because of the panic, spare mags are just routinely impossible to find anywhere except from the manufacturer or the occasional on-line seller on Gunbroker or whatever.
This is where the 10 round limit is going to be a real issue. You can get spare Glock magazines in the correct capacity for the gun practically anywhere. But not everything is so easy to find.
If you own or know of a handgun that you think is GREAT and the correct, 10+ capacity magazines are going to become basically impossible to buy after October 1 - take a minute to call it out for me and the rest of the group. Maybe it will end up on one of our last purchase lists, something we haven't thought about effectively losing the ability to buy in 10+ before October 1.
For what it's worth, right now I am thinking about a CZ85 and possibly another XDm, both in 9mm, but I am wondering what I might give up the chance to own (at least in its 10+ configuration) if my last purchases are this conventional/mainstream.
