High-Capacity Magazines

What Counts as High-Capacity?

The term “high-capacity magazine” is a legal and political term, not a technical one. Standard capacity for an AR-15 is 30 rounds; standard for a Glock 17 is 17 rounds. Some states define “high-capacity” as anything over 10 rounds. In states without restrictions, 30-round AR magazines and standard-capacity handgun magazines are completely legal. We ship to all states where these magazines are legal.
