I'm not a handgun guy, but I've been considering getting one. I know we have a 10-round limit on magazines for all firearms, but what I can't figure out is if this applies only to the magazine itself or if it applies to the pistol that's designed with a "standard" magazine with more than 10 rounds.
For example, a Beretta 92FS holds 15 rounds normally. I know they make 10-round magazines for it to comply with state restrictions, but how does this work when someone buys it new and wants to register it? Does Beretta make a version that comes from the factory with a 10-round magazine? If so, is the pistol itself any differnet? In other words, would it still accept a "standard" 15-rounds magazine? If so, does that cause any issues with registering it in DC?
