PPT with 12 round mags

[wyrm2021]

I need some help or just a refresher on this, I will be getting a pistol PPT that come with 2-12 round mags. Now if I`m not mistaken i`ll have to put limiters in them? Correct....?

correct. 10-round mags max, even for PPT.

The seller could disassemble the mags and that would be legal, but there needs to be a functioning magazine available to do the Handgun Safety Demo.

You have to receive the mags disassembled.

Also this could be a problem when doing the safe handgun demonstration, where you chamber a snap cap, and then clear the weapon. Hopefully the FFL works with you.

Actually following the law he legally cannot even include the mags (hi caps) in the sale to you.


What he can do is TAKE APART the mags into pieces and include them in a baggy as rebuilt kit parts.

And you should buy a 10 round mag before the pick up date to do the required safety check. (given by the FFL)

I suggest he hand you the rebuild kits in a baggy outside of the FFL and you shove them into your car trunk for future rebuilding of your soon to be purchased 10 round legal magazines. Sometimes showing up inside an FFL causes FUD and PANIC by FFL's that are unfamiliar with the law.

Have fun

I thought so, but as far as the FFL freaking out, this I doute will happen since I`m getting from a hole in the wall shop, they were awear of the fact at time of purchase. Worst case scenario I`ll do the safety check then disassemble them before I leave the shop. I`ll look on line for a few 10 round mags for it over the weekend so I have some legal.

One time,I did safety Demo with Store Display pistol,because I took mags home on PPT day.

No, a cable lock will NOT work, unless used to lock a fully-enclosing case.

The locks FFLs are required to verify before releasing the gun have done their entire job after the FFL checks it off in his paperwork. After that, the buyer/transferee can return it for a refund, throw it away, use it for a paperweight -- but it does NOT satisfy the 12026.1/12026.2/16850/25610

You can do the handgun safety demonstration with a pistol in the store or from another one from home. Upon pickup, do the demo with the one you brought from home.

Thanks Librarian, locked container it is. And as far as the safety demo goes I`m not worried about anything I`ve bought a gun from this shop before they didn`t do everything by the book then and I`m still here, no serious mortal self inflicted bullet wounds, I think all will go well this time also.
