Disclaimers:
1) Yes, I know that if you are dealing with a high cap magazine charge you probably have other problems.
2) Yes, I know that the prosecution would have to prove it wasn't pre-ban.
3) Peace of mind and a happy spouse is worth something in this endeavor.
4) I've done a fair amount of reading on this topic. I'm not asking for the basics, I'm wondering if I'm missing something.
So, I want a pistol that takes pre-ban high cap magazines, preferrably provably pre-ban magazines.
I don't want a Glock. I don't like them and the older magazines are failing with plastic cracking. Also not interested in Ruger P series.
I know that OEM MP5 magazines and other HK magazines usually have date codes on them. For pistol mags it seems there is primarily USP mags available? And they seem pretty rare.
As far as I can tell there isn't a way to prove beretta 92 mags are pre ban, unless you have a paper trail or possibly original packaging.
There are ways I've read to prove Sig p226 mags are, but it still seems to be a bit wishy washy, unless you have the paper trail or possibly original packaging. I'm looking into getting some copies of sig catalogs from the time to see if there is something there that could be useful.
Are there other options or ways to prove pre-ban status that I'm not aware of yet?
Is my best bet a sig p226 or beretta 92 with some sort of paper trail?
Thanks!
