What do you mean by "plugging" them, one of those aftermarket deals that restricts the follower beyond 10rds isn't going to pass in Kommiefornia because the conversion needs to be "permanent"-- not something you can remove later or it's still a felony. I believe the general consensus is rivets and/or welds to convert the standard cap mags to 10 round mags.

I am pretty sure you can take them out of the state before the deadline, but you can't ever bring them back.

Librarian probably has a better explanation than I do. My beef on this is the money I have invested in mags makes this feel like an imminent domain deal. There should at least be some state tax credit for forcing me to destroy CAPITAL INVESTMENTS made by me decades ago.

post #5 is probably most relevant.

What needs to be done to mag a blocked magazine permanent has never been defined by the penal code or any regulations put out by the DOJ. Neither has any court ruled on it. Nobody knows.

Again, the DOJ released proposed regulations in early January and then quickly withdrew them.

Ultimately, nothing is permanent. Even magazines designed to hold only 10 rounds can easily be modified to hold more than 10 rounds.

I have several Glock G26 mags that are designed to hold 10 rounds but because I have used them so many times the springs are lose enough that I can now load 11 rounds if I use enough pressure. With 11 rounds they feed just fine. These are standard, unmodified mags.

I had a Glock armorer tell me this is well known by Glock and yet nothing is done because when new, they only hold 10 rounds.

Ultimately, it depends on your level of comfort. There are still many companies that are selling blocked mags to CA so at least some are comfortable that there is a way to block them to meet a legal definition of permanent.
