What he said

[ap3572001]

The term HI CAPACITY is incorrect.

My duty Glock 22 GEN4 was DESIGNED with a 15RD magazine. That is a STD magazine for Glock 22 . Its not HI CAPACITY or LOW CAPACITY.

I also carry 2 Glock factory 22 round magazines that were made by Glock for G22.

They are called extended magazines. When they are inserted in the pistol they make the gun look different.

They are still not called HI CAPACITY.

In LE we do not call 10rd magazines for 1911 or Sig P220 HI CAPACITY.

We call them 10rd magazines OR extended magazines.

I worked with a partner once who carried a Beretta 92FS with 20rd magazine that was sticking out about 1 1/2-2"

We just said , "He carries an extended magazine in His gun" .

Never said anything about capacity.

Words like ASSAULT WEAPON or HI CAPACITY magazine have no real meaning.

They really dont mean anything.

It's the shoulder thing that goes up.

I still hear fellow gun owners call magazine's clips. So if they can't get that right, I would never expect them to not say high capacity or anything else like that.

When discussing specific language in laws, such as the ban on import/manufacture of "large-capacity magazines" (term as written in the law) it is useful to use the language as written to avoid confusion. In normal conversation though I agree with the OP.

^^ This.

High, low, standard are all 'gun centric' and mean different things for each gun.

In California, 'large-capacity' means the same thing for every gun.

I like the phrasing "full capcity" magazine to describe anything over 10 rounds.

[wjc]

I still like "standard capacity".

My M14 yearns for 20 rounders....
