First off I'm new here so hello to all. Now this may be a dumb question but why is there a 10 round limit on a handgun mag? I don't understand the difference between one that holds 10 and one that hold 12 or 14. I'm going to do my PAL/RPAL in the spring and being new to the scene my buddy in North Carolina suggested as a starter to look into the Walther PPQ 9mm. I looked into it and realized the barrel is too short by our laws so I was looking at the PPQ .40 not to purchase just looking at specs now and the barrel is long enough but it holds 12 rounds in the mag. Can somebody explain to me why the extra 2 bullets makes this a prohibited weapon.
Reasoning behind 10 round handgun mags?

You are talking Rational Thinking by Politicians.
Now if your going to start with rational thinking I am going to have to speak with the administration and see about getting you banned!
( did the tongue in cheek sarcasm come through? )
Just be thankfull it wasnt one round per.
Tight Groups,

I have no paperwork to back it up (looking right now for my personal reasons @ http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/F-11.6/ ), A freind of mine VERY MUCH in to all forms non, res and prohib told me you COULD have a luger with an original snail mag.
Let me know if you find it before me!

i HEARD that part of the reasoning of being capped at 10 rounds was to give police an extra advantage in any type of shootout situation as they have higher capacity mags...
Don't flame me! Just something I heard, I don't stand behind it at all but it was the only opinion I heard that shed any logical reasoning to a portion of our absolutely DUMB gun laws!
...end .2 cents here...

Close but not quite...............newbie.
It is actually WRONG to kill more than 11 people. You forgot the one up the pipe.
Killing 1 to 11 appears to be just fine.
They kept the .22s, banned the 25s and 36s (Have I got that right?)
and kept the .357s, .38s, .40, .44s, .45s and .50s.
I'm sure I missed a few.
Don't even try to think what about those two calibers makes them deadlier and scarier than the rest.
Boy you're going to love the stickies on this site. Lots of cool stuff you didn't know was legal and lots of legal head scratchers too.
Baking Powder??? Squeeze Me??? The criminals already don't obey the laws and have illegally acquired unregistered handguns, what makes you think they will comply with the 10 round mag limit? They will get their normal fully capacity magazines the same place they get their firearms, through the criminal channel of nefarious means. No Flaming.
The Government's only intent was to take as many guns out of the hands of the law abiding gun owner as possible. This way, if they catch you with a normal capacity magazine of 11 rounds (or more) for your handgun, not only can they take your 25's and 32's, but every gun you own and give you a weapons prohibition as a bonus.
To the OP, welcome to the wonderful world of legal gun ownership in Canada. Feel like a criminal yet? That is their intent with all their laws and hoops.

You can have all the mags you want! provided its pinned at 10 or made to capacity of 10!
An no the .25 .32 cals as i remember correctly the "excuse" given by the libs at the time was ".25's .32's were preferred criminal calibers" "Which was usually chambered in their mid-night special of choice" Which is B.S. What was funny right after the 1995 legislation came into law. They had to exempt the .32 for Olympic training. Because the .32 was the preferred cal to train in able body Olympics.
Anyone who owned these cal were to have them destructed or it became a wall hanger or safe queen prohib.
The Antiques you speak of are any handgun percussion or flint made till present day. Or any handgun made before 1889 "correct me if wrong" its close to 89? That is not chambered in 32 l/s .45 C .38 .44-40 .44mag. so on.
