9mm Sig-Sauer P228, one of the many handguns made less efficient by magazine capacity restrictions. As you can observe, crippled 10-round magazines are more fragile than the proper 15-rounders. People who oppose gun ownership
by others call any effective weapon
"assault gun" and try to ban it.
If a weapon is less effective, it
is a "Saturday night special" and

One such consequence is the trend towards more potent chamberings. So long as no magazines over ten rounds can be produced (and the prices on the pre-ban magazines rise to astronomical levels), many have decised to go with thinner guns which use single-stack magazines. Improved ballistics of .357 Sig (10mm case necked down to take a 9mm bullet) partly compensate for the smaller number of rounds carried. Sig 239 is representative of such designs. |
