Large Capacity Firearm ?

[hrach015]

Are there any downsides of registering a firearm as a large capacity firearm vs non large capacity firearm? I have a Class A Large Carry LTC

The MA definition of ''Large capacity weapon'' is unclear and the large capacity seems the conservative option to go with on the FA-10 for a 2011 that was manufactured to accept 10+ round mags by default but I will be only getting 10 round mags.

It is one or the other. Was it made to accept more than 10? An ar15 with 10 round mags is still a high cap rifle

Had this conversation twice with someone over the last 3 days. He picked up a few PCCs. He was concerned the SKU for one was the 17rd version.

I just had to give up.

If it takes detachable mags, then generally speaking yes.

I remember there was some debate years ago about whether a 10/22 is considered high capacity due to the fact that for decades it never shipped with anything but 10 round mags, and therefor it was not “designed” to accept high caps, depending on how you want to define “designed”. This was kind of an edge case anyways.

IANAL

It's model was named because it's a 10 shot 22.

Is my revolver high cap if I own a speed loader?

I forgot to clarify that this is for a handgun.

Agree confusing af. For instance a Glock 43x is 'designed' for 10 but can take a nut sack mag.

ProMag 9mm 50 Round Drum Magazine for Glock 43X, 48 Pistols | The Mag Shack

This is the Promag 9mm 50-round drum magazine for G43X/48 pistols. While everyone else loads 5 magazines to get 50 rounds, you only have one drum to load.

It's what the standard cap mag is. If it was made to take >11 round mags, it's high cap
