After the last election, I believe that it’s a matter of when—not if—Washington state adopts a 10-round magazine limit, and I’m looking at the next gear evolution. Moving van aside, what are my options?
I’ve been a Glock guy since 2010, and I have hundreds of dollars worth of tools, mags, parts, holsters, etc. on hand. I carry a G19 with G17 spare mags, but I don't trust 10-round OEM G17 and G19 mags. I’ve spent significant time on the G26, but mags hang up on my hand instead of dropping free of the gun and I want to run a WML, so it’s out. Doc’s G19/G26 surgery (https://pistol-forum.com/showthread....-rd-mag-limits) would let me use a reliable, widely available 10-round OEM Glock magazine that drops free on reloads AND have a light. I've cut G17s to take G19 mags before and can do this work myself, but I'd rather avoid this if I can.
My current thinking is that the best case scenario would be for Glock to unfuck the OEM 10-round mag situation.
Next best would be to find reliable 10-round aftermarket 9mm G19 and G17 magazines. Is anything like that available yet?
Next best case is to switch from Glock to a brand with reliable 10-round magazines. I’d like to stay with a striker, but would consider SAO or DAO. Not super interested in TDA just yet.
HK looks promising, especially the VP9sk. CZ is out due to safety/decocker ergos. DAO Beretta might work.
What am I missing?
Thanks,
Okie John
