Buddy is looking at picking up and XDM 3.8 Compact .40 after handling mine.

Range Master where he qualifies (he's a LEO) said he will have no problem with the 16 rounders.

 

I do not think that is correct.

 

Does he need to have them pinned even tho he is active LEO?

 

I believe he is buying the gun direct from SA (police package with 2 fs mags) and they will be sending to his FFL.

15+1 would be 16, I belive that the glock 22s they carry in monmouth county corrections are 17+1. So ido, I carry a 21 with 13+1 and my soon to be off duty 23gen4 is also a 13+1. That being said retires leos may have some restrictions, I know they have to qualify.every 6 months, and can't carry hollow points

Active LEO's do not have mag restrictions for firearms that they are Qualified to carry by their departments. IOW, Duty and Off-duty carry weapons. Weapons that are NOT intended for "Duty" purposes still fall under the same restrictions as everyone else. Once they retire or quit, any mags have to then be compliant. For example, ALL of my AR mags are pinned, and If i ever get around to getting my Fn 5.7 I can only have the reduced magazines since it doesn't fall within my dept guidelines as an acceptable O/D weapon.

So if he uses the XDM to replace his G26 as his off duty peice, he can use the 16 rounders?

 

Interesting. I will pass it along. Thank you.

Correct. he MAY have to get a signiff letter from his Chief for it, so let him know about that as well... I carry 1911's so i dont have that problem

I don't know if anything has changed but when the 15 round limit first came out we were told that it also applied to us (cops). Enough of a stink was raised by agencies that issued the Glock 17 (only gun at the time to have a mag larger than 15 rounds) that the attorney general sent out an opinion that said we could POSSESS and use magazines that were owned by our employing agency but we couldn't own or purchase them ourselves.

"High capacity" magazines are listed in 2C:39-3. Police are not exempt from possession, except during the performance of their duties.
