Bought a new Glock 23 from local firearms dealer. Mag cap is originally 13rd but its "blocked" to 10rd. Does Glock block it to 10rds or is it done at the local dealer?  I'm assuming its still legal because if it wasn't, they wouldn't have sold it to me!  Am I correct? Thanks folks!

Moderator....can you move this topic to "firearms and accessories" section. Thanks!

 

Most are done at the local level.  But only a few shops block mags. Most dont want the liability.

I see!  I have 2 mags that i got from Midway USA that are factory Glock Parts that are 10rds!  I'm probably just gonna use them and leave the blocked ones home! 

It doesn't matter who blocks the mags, it just matters that the mags itself do not hold more than 10.
All of this info can be found in the FAQ under HRS 134.

so does that mean a retailer can legally send say.. a glock 17 with two 17 round magazines to a local ffl and leave it as yours or the ffls responsibility to block them? because ive been told otherwise when trying to buy pistols online that have full capacity mags.   
i know california can get parts kits of magazines, but those same shops wont ship a magazine parts kit here. confused.

i know local gun shops sometimes sell guns with blocked mags.. im wondering if they get sent standard capacity pistols only because the distributor is out of the factory 10 rd mags.
i much prefer the blocked mags. better spring tension, better looks, and better resale value. 10rd mags blow.
