In 9mm I'd probably stay with my HK P2000s and just use 10 round mags as the 10 rounders I have are reliable . I very much would want to stay in a mid-sized gun. If I needed to scale down in size the P2000sk would be my choice.
For 45acp my solution was the HK45C as it's very similar in size to the P2000.
If I was legally limited to only 10 round mags, I'd carry two spare mags instead of one and carry on.
I have an opportunity to pick up a lightly used P30 v1 for $700.
I was set on picking up a couple G26s and solely focusing on those two. But, I'm having a hard time passing it up.
The P30 would give me the trigger I'm looking for, hammer for AIWB, and reliable 10 rounds mags. I'm just wary about detail strips. I like that I can do it with Glocks no problem. I don't want to anticipate doing it oftern, but is it doable without an armorer's course?

With a 10rd mag limit I'd go to a SIG P239/P225 and never look back.
I currently don't have a G19 on hand, so I don't think I want to go that route, unless I found a really cheap used G19.
I have considered it, but I should be moving out of the state in about 3 years. So, I'm leaning to the P30 now (if I jump on that deal) since I'll be able to use full capacity mags after I leave.
I really think I should just buy that P30, and train. I really like the idea of the LEM trigger, it has reliable 10 rounders, hammer for AIWB, and I'll be able to switch back to full capacity mags when I leave.
I think I'm going to do it, so I can stop worrying about equipment and just train. Now need to find a AIWB holster and extra mags.
Good deal, I'll check it out. Thanks.
Where I live we don't have such arbitrary restrictions and I'm glad of that but if it did become Law I'd just start open carry of my favorite 10mm S&W 3rd gen 1006 or try hiding my just aquired 1026 large frame .

I feel that it is very possible that the USA will be facing another federal Hi-cap magazines ban in not so distant future... Maybe I am wrong but we might be facing it just after the coming elections. Do you believe it that happens that the 1911 will become even more popular and used as a CCW even more than it is today? In such event would you rather carry a 10 round 92FS, P226 or CZ75 or even a G17/19 (I hope Glock will design a reliable 10 round magazine) over a 1911 in 9mm or .45?
