I am debating buying my pistol online because im having trouble finding one around here. I have found many online at places like gunbroker. Im curious about your experience with this. My problem is the gun i want comes with 2- 16 rd mags. Can i request they don't send the mags? Im looking at the springfield xdm compact 3.8 inch in a .40... the .45 comes with compliant mags but i think i want a .40. The gunbroker says not to buy if its illegal in ur state. Just not sure where i should look.

Handgun purchases have to go through an FFL so have it sent to one that would be able to pin the magazines for you.

^^^^ what he said, or you can sometimes get them to send without the mags but i doubt theyll take much if anything off the price.

The cx4I bought on gunbroker came with 2 15 round mags and one 20 round mag. I asked the seller not to send the twenty round one and he left it out. Just make sure to ask before bidding.

Contact pk90 and remixer both ffls that have pinned mags

Just wondering, the mags must be 15 or less correct? Is 15 + 1 legal in NJ? Not sure if one in the chamber make it illegal.

One n the chamber is OK.

Magazines have to be 15 rounds or less.

Kinda jumping in on this one. Had a dealer on GB say he never sees the firearms and a message about the mags would never reach the factory. Would it be acceptable to just leave the mags with the FFL when you do the transfer?

I think its a bit unusual for a dealer on GB to "never see" the firearm. Most have them in possession or else how can they sell something they dont have? (your case might be a big fluke). That said, as long as they are willing to transfer it to an FFL in NJ with higher cap mags, that FFL (depending on who they are) can block the mags for you to the NJ legal 15rd limit. FFL's will NOT transfer a firearm that has an illegal mag to you no matter what.

Well i solved this by deciding im pretty sure i am just going to get the 45.

Was just about to say. Go with a 1911 and you wont have to worry about the number of rounds in the mag. I just bought one off of arms list. Worked out really well. You just have to do you due diligence. Took about a week to finally get the deal done but both parties were happy
