Semi auto fixed magazine pistols?

[BillM]

Local gun grabber idiots are at it again, and their latest petition specifically
lists "semiautomatic handguns with a fixed magazine over 10 rd capacity"
as evil.

What's out there in a semi auto with a fixed magazine? There is the C-96 Mauser and the Roth Steyr 1907, both stripper fed. Couple of Bergmanns that use clips--but that's not a fixed mag. Gyrojet fed from the top--but what else?

LOL, stupid lawmakers don't know what they are talking about so "fixed" magazine can mean anything they think of.
Fixed as in remade?? Fixed as in locked into place by the magazine button??

If I repaired the magazine base plate on my Shield, does that mean that it's finally fixed?

Let them pass the law! "Fixed magazine" means not removable from the gun.

P-10 Grendel, I had one and wasn't unhappy to see my ex-wife take it.

Any other fixed mag pistols? Heck--even the 93 Borchardt had a detachable magazine---

They're just trying to make sure that there's no possible way to get around the capacity restriction they want to pass.

In other words, trying to come up with a "bullet button" type work-around for the capacity restriction won't work because of the way the law is written.

What he said!

Using a fixed high cap is a work around they are trying to prevent.

During the 94-04 ban, I was planning on building an AR pistol, with a 7.5" bbl, and a fixed mag. The idea was to pull the rear pin, lean the upper forward, an load the 30rd mag with stripper clips. It would have been ban compliant. With a detachable mag, any pistol with its mag in front of the grip could only have a max weight of 50oz.

I ended up just waiting until sunset and building what I wanted because the whole build was really just a way for me to thumb my nose at the law, anyway.

I think the point is to make bullet buttons untenable rather than to ban museum pieces.
