10 shot handguns.

[Mike.357]

Someone who lives near me has been shooting a lot today. I am guessing they bought a new toy at the gun show.

Ten rounds every time they fired. If there had been some longer delay I might have figured it to be a Hi Point but the repetition was always the same so there were no failures.

So anyway, what handguns hold ten rounds in the clip? It sounded like a 9mm or a .40 maybe. I don't think it was a .45 or .32 or .22 just based on the sound of it.

Who knows maybe it was a Hi Point.

Glock 26 comes to mind

Maybe they found a Kalifornia gun.

How sure are you that it is a handgun? My wife's Hi-Point 995 9mm Carbine holds 10 in the magazine and until a recent problem with the extractor and a feed ramp issue (both of which Jim at Hi-Point is making right as we speak!) it never had any troubles firing 10 shots in rapid succession.

Tight groups, too.

[Mike.357]

Yeah thats it, it was a 995, planet of the apes model from the sound of it.

Maybe the shooter has OCD and will only load 10 rounds in his gun so they have an even number of uses in a box...now the possibilities are endless.

[VERO1]

Since it may be a new gun, maybe their fingers aren't strong enough to load their magazine completely! Perhaps they bought a pair of J frames?

I load 10 in my mags (G17) when I'm at the range to help stretch the ammo. I also have 10 shot groups as opposed to 17 or 18 for comparison. But like JohnyFox said, I'm also OCD so that's probably the main reason.

[bubbadavis]

They probably bought a used, infinitely safer handgun from the Clinton hi-cap magazine ban days...

[Sidinman]

CZ 82 holds ten rounds.

[TGO David]

It's not necessarily that that mag capacity is 10rds. I often load my handguns to 10rds at the range for plinking because ammo comes boxed 5 across in most trays. I'll grab two rows worth on my hand, load a mag, shoot, repeat.

Just be glad there's another gunny.

[deerslayer]

9mm 1911.

In addition to those listed, Ruger SR9 & SR9c

[Mike.357]

I never thought of anyone loading just ten rounds to keep it all even. Now there is no way to guess what kind of pistol it might be, LOL.

A few years ago I was the only one shooting around here, now there are several people who shoot guns somewhere near here. Seems I always hear gunfire on days there has been a gun show. Sometimes I will hear one guy shooting, then in short order I will hear another guy shooting. Sometimes I start shooting to answer their call. I am glad there are other gun people around here. I always kind of assumed everyone here has something in their house that goes bang.

Next time I am gonna shoot my 995 to confuse them

[Proscene]

In additiion to those mentioned above, the SR9 & SR9c

[bigwakes]

It might be that he has several 5 round magazines loaded and is a fast reloader. So what guns have a 5 round magazine?

[Mike.357]

not five rounds mags, the cadence of the shots is exactly the same every time.

I at least switch it up and do double taps, LOL

[oldogy]

Little old cheap KelTec P11 also fits the ten round if you just load the magazine.

my 223 pistol came with a 10 round mag, though it takes the bigger ones. All old guns from the ban years were 10 or less, and still are in CA if not other states (?). A number of compacts are 10 shots; my cz rami has a 10 round small mag and extended mags that hold more, too many to list it could be *anything* -- including downloaded mags. I often just put 5 or 10 in my mags even when they hold more, easier to keep track of the ammo on the range.
