This is nothing new to me. I know you can squeeze 14 round of 9mm in a .40 mags Years ago! I'm not a member of the CSSA anymore so hasn't seen the printed article but telling people about it doesn't make it legal. :S Wasn't there some letter about LAR mags people had printed and carried with them if stopped/asked my cops?
Did you know? 14 ROUNDS LEGAL

why not just buy a .40 S&W firearm of the exact same type as your 9mm and "cover your ass".
"huh? oh, darn, i must have loaded my rounds into the wrong magazine. it looks the same and it fits into the grip, so i presumed i grabbed the correct one. i guess the stamping on these things is a bit hard to read at times. i'll be more careful next time, officer. thx!"

both are legal - one may just be easier to deal with on-the-spot than the other, that's all i'm sayin'.
and besides, everyone on here seems to own a half dozen firearms anyways (someone even has 4 glocks, and is on his way to 6 or 8 glocks)
anyhoo, just a thought

hey, how about this - TWENTY rounds is legal!!! 100% perfectly legal, indisputable in court no matter how you slice it.
it's easy - just use two guns, 10 rounds per. hey, you've got 2 hands, right?
sorry, are we still beating a dead horse here..?

Is this dead horse still being beat? Can't we just go back to 9 vs 45, or how great glock/1911/fill in the blank is?

ok, but should the "new" topic be Glock chambered for .45ACP versus 1911-style chambered for 9mm? or has that one already been done in the past?

I nominate this topic for inclusion with the great never-ending discussions, such as:
Can't we just go back to 9 vs 45, or how great glock/1911/fill in the blank is?
Glock vs. 1911
9mm vs. 45
XCR vs. AR
Springfield M1A vs. Norc M14s
Can I shoot 5.56 out of a gun marked .223?
Can I shoot 7.62 out of a gun marked .308?
Can I use pistol mags in a rifle?
What's the best bear defense gun?
I don't necessarily care if my 40 mag can fit a few extra rounds of 9mm and work. Don't get me wrong, I do do that occasionally. Those extra few bangs can be fun. What annoys me is the fact we have to use loopholes, workarounds, or whatever you call it to do these things. Why can't I have 17 rounds of 9mm in my Glock17? Those magazines exist, yet I'm stuck with ten, or thirteen if I use a loophole. Same with the ar15/LAR mags. Oh joy, I can legally shoot ten rounds instead of five. Ten? The average is thirty. Why can't I legally enjoy shooting thirty rounds out of my ar15 without having to change my mag 3 or 6 times? The loopholes in the law don't annoy me, it's the fact we have the law which frustrates me. As a law abiding citizen, I live by these rules. I don't want to, but surely don't want to give any ammunition to fuel the antigun politicians. So I won't own the illegal NORMAL capacity mag, but I will use the legal loopholes to allow me to shoot more rounds in my firearm without having to change the mag.
Mods, please delete what I'm about to write if you deem it necessary.
I've worked in Toronto doing construction. Some of my coworkers liked to get high during lunch, break or work. I did not, please don't accuse me. Some of the dealers would come to the site and sell. And some of those dealers sold guns and high/normal capacity mags. It's not that hard to illegaly obtain high/normal capacity mags. The criminals won't care if their 33 capacity mag is illegal. The criminals won't care if their f###ing firearm is illegal. That's what makes them criminals, they don't care. We responsible firearm owners care, which is sadly why we also tolerate these laws to a point. Do you know what this means? It means that we legal and responsible firearm owners can be trusted with the 33 round pistol mag, or the 100 round drum rifle mag. We have no intention nor will we ever use the mags and the guns in a crime. The criminals will, and likely already own them.

I can see watching the same discussions come up over and over again being annoying to CGN veterans - but the repetition of some of those topics is a good thing. Take this topic for example, it means than new members, possibly new gun owners have joined and are now learning a little gem of information for the first time. I know that before I joined CGN I had no idea that you could use 9mm ammunition in a .40 magazine or the LAR mags in an AR. However, that being said I see no need for any opion threads such as "what gun to buy next" or "which gun is better". If we want to see less of these threads try to keep your posts tidier. Jokes, arguments, and sarcasm just clutter things up; in the future someone wondering which .40 magazines work well with 9mm ammo who searches for it might find this thread, but since there are only a small handful of posts with useful information scattered through pages and pages of useless posts, the person is less likely to find what they are looking for and more likely to start a new thread, repeating the question. If you see someone raise a question which has been covered before just post a link to the previous thread and move on.

FTW!!
And as far as I, and the law is concerned, its legal! The LAR mags are stamped with something like "Intended for pistol use only". As stated before any device that is made "legal", either it be restricted or not, in canada can be used to its full potential. Including some un-intended uses. Such as tuck tape and plastic for car windows.
Personally the restrictions put on products by the "protectionists" are ruining society, economy and basic well being. That being said, do what ever you feel is legal, just be prepared to explain your self if someone comes asking.
