bullpup Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I am thinking about buying a double stack 1911 of some sort in 9mm. This is just an initial thought process, I don't know if I would start off very base with something like an RIA(if I can even find one) or go up to something like an STI. My problem is this, I live in Colorado so I can't purchase magazines that hold any more than fifteen rounds. Is there anyone that makes blocked magazines that would be legal for me to use? This will determine if I even stick with this idea, or just buy a single stack 1911. Thanks for any help. BP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike21STI Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 They make 10 Rd mags for the 2011's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 If your limited to 15 rounds I would just go a single stack 9mm with 10 rounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spearogun Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 You could use 10rd or 15rd mags and just shoot Limited 10. You will be more competitive since most of the Limited shooters have 21-24 rounds in their mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robb315 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) We block them for customers in restricted rights states. What is your method for blocking STI mags and can CZ mags be blocked? Edited March 5, 2014 by robb315 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullpup Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 Thank you all for the information! I may actually decide to pursue this idea now. Loves2Shoot-Thank you and if I decide to go this route I will be contacting you. JMB-as much as I would like to move some days, I've spent my whole life in a small town in Colorado. Other than when I went to college, I have basically lived, coached, and been a teacher in the same town. It would be hard for me to pick up and leave even though I don't like what's going on in my state right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loves2Shoot Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 We well a piece of metal inside that blocks the follower from coming down past the desire round number. We do this often for those in NY who can get the guns, but those guns don't come with reduced capacity magazines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pre-ordered a STI DVC Open (with deposit) and then discovered "NO" 15 round magazines. A 10 Round alternative would put me at such a disadvantage in USPSA that I was thinking of backing out of the purchase altogether and forfeiting the deposit. An out-of-state gunsmith was my Plan B but I was concerned that without experience with a 2011 magazine and STI characteristics, I might have so many FTF & FTE that I again, would be clearing more than firing. I know of Springer Precision and am now totally jazzed over my decision for the DVC !! (Immediate Attitude Change --->) STI WHERE IS MY DVC OPEN ?????

jcc7x7 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 It's already been said but Get the gun you want then deal with, having or doing it yourself, the capacity for your state. I have base pad with dowels in them for restricted states and regular ones for non commy states Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reason I ask, the typical method that I have seen would be to install a polymer block, and then epoxy the block/basepad together, essentially renedering the magazine unserviceable. Being able to disassemble would be huge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loves2Shoot Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Yes, you can not remove the follower, but you can replace the springs and clean it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
