My personal bet is that the HK P7M13 returns to these shores priced only slightly higher than the M8.

The Glock 17/19 might profit.

The XD .357SIG/.40 might take off. This isn't really a comeback, I know.

The Walther/SW99 might become way more popular.

Any other candidates?
 
I once heard a rumor that Glock has quite a few full capacity mags in storage Smyrna in anticipation of the sunset.

Same rumor says Gaston is upset that people are paying over $100 for a mag.

My guess is that he's upset that Glock isn't seeing the profits of these exaggerated sales.
 
Not handgun related, but there will be a whole bunch of fun to be had with 10/22's with lots of capacity.

Glock 17 and 19s for sure. And most wondernines too. I doubt it will happen. I won't pay $100 for a 15 round 19 mag. I have a cheap 18 round 17 mag (USA) that I won't use.

I would love to have hi-cap 17 mags just because I am so lazy when it comes to loading them on the range.
 
Even if Federal law was repealed, I'd still have to see what would happen to CA laws

Same here. I'm in Granola Land too. The chances of Granola Land repealing the high cap magazine laws is zero. Even if the Federal law is revoked after the 10 year limit, Granola Land will still ban hi caps IMO. :(
 
Tee hee hee! :D

A couple of things to keep in mind.... If anyone thinks that once the AWB dies that there will be cheap high cap mags will be sadly disappointed. My guess is that all of the manufacturers know what people have been willing to pay for pre-ban hi-caps. SO the days of $16 hi-caps are gone. Most likely factory hi-caps will be around $30 a piece.... :cuss: ( just a guess, but I have no doubt that the hi-caps will be higher than the 10 rounders......)

Greg L, Hell will have to completely freeze over before Ruger makes hi-caps available to civilians. If I remember correctly, JeffOTMG asked the Ruger reps about this at the SHOT show and the Ruger reps replied that they would not make hi-caps for civies...... :rolleyes:
 
The double-stack midsize nines that were so popular before the ban might stage a resurgence; 13-15 rounds of 9mm in a G19/P-229 sized package is a strong temptation to a lot of folks.

Most definitely. A 15 round 9mm is very tempting.

I'm pretty much SOL though, since regardless of what the Feds do Granola State will NOT revoke its own ban on high caps.
 
I don't know that the "wondernine" will see a resurgence. I do think that the long term tendency is to make the 9mm the new mousegun round. Now, having full cap .357 SIG, .40 S&W and 10mm duty size weapons might bring those cartridges into their heyday.

If the mag ban dies, I predict the .45Glock dying into a curiousity with it. the .45G is designed to take advantage, in part of the perceived leveller of restricted high caps. Why on earth would anyone want a .45G when they could have 10+1 of the real article or a 12+1 HK USP?
 
Not a handgun, but if the magcap, I just might go out and buy me one of them Siaga 12 gauges and a handful of 40rd mags for it.:D


Hey, you know some crazy American is going to try it if nobody else does.;)

We need to seriously push this part of it. There are ALOT of people out there who are occasional plinkers and have no idea that you can't buy new 10+ round mags for 22 rifles.

I was at Wal-Mart the other day buying some ammo and a customer came up and asked the kid behind the counter for a brick of ammo and a couple of .22 "clips" and when the worker handed him the ten rounders, the customer said "No, can I get some that hold more".... he was really surprised when told that there was a law forbidding it.

If everyone like that realized what the AWB really was all about, then hopefully they could be convinced to write their reps too! Too many semi-gun people think it's a ban on full auto weapons and a great thing to have. Once the sunset draws closer, I hope the NRA starts a good advertising campaign explaining what the AWB is really doing to honest people.
 
With as much proliferation of quality guns and good defensive ammo in 30ACP, I'd like to see a G26/G27 sized pistol, but thinner, that holds about 25 rounds of 32ACP with a magzines available with a spacer to properly hold HP ammo.

And I think a lot of guys that paid $85-$100 for 'standard cap' Glock magazines are gonna be kinda PO'd when they're only $20.
 
If we could just VOTE those liberal mouth-breathers out of office, we could get our rights back here in the PRK.

Remember, Reagan was Governor here for like 200 years or something... There's GOTTA be some more conservative folks in this most populous state!
 
Not sure so much a comeback but maybe a huge expansion I'd say HK.

Most the usual suspects (Glock, Sig, Ruger, S/W) have hi-caps if you really want them ($$$), but HK was pretty much left out in the cold. Also really the only gun fullsize/compact pistol I can think of that seems to be gaining popularity.

Rumors of HK being the new Border Patrol pistol, lots of Federal State arms now in the stage of needing replaced. Always mumblings about the M-16 service rifle while all seems quiet from nations using the G-36. More rumors of an HK-USA plant being planned. If I was looking for a firearms company to invest in....
 
Blueduck,

That may be because the nation (Is it actually plural?) using the G36 hasn't actually, you know, had to shoot at anybody with them yet. I've seen plenty of anecdotal pining for the G3 from soldaten. Groovy as the G36 looks, I hesitate to let "HK fan" enthusiasm run away with me... :scrutiny: ;)
 
Tamara, I believe Spain and Nepal have adopted the G36, there may be others as well.
 
One word: Calico!

Forget 15 rounds! How about 100 rounds in the .22.
What was the capacity of the Calico 9mm? 50rds?
Cool! :cool:

Ruger 10/22. Quality Mini14 mags.
I'd buy another Glock.....
