Now you are being disingenuous, the grips of most modern hand guns are designed to be as ergonomically possible with the highest possible capacity. The Glock 36 was designed as a concealed carry firearm, not an open carry firearm.

Adequate is subjective since I and many others carry the Glock 26. We consider our body types and clothing when deciding which firearm to carry. I have never heard anyone willingly want less cartridge capacity other than for the advantage of concealability and weight. Much better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it. The saying: a handgun is the tool you use to fight your way to a rifle can also be applied. If it is difficult to support the claim that a magazine capacity greater than 10 rounds is necessary, then why do the police need more than 10?

LOL, I do my best
It is no more silly than compliant mag buttons and mandatory thumb hole stocks.stanc Wrote:Yeah, but the point is moot. We don't live in the 19th Century..
So when our founding fathers studied the history of Greece and Rome governments to form our Constitutional Republic, it was a moot point? It was a perfect example of how insane and ridiculous our gun laws have become.

You got that right!
