S&W SD9 VE vs Ruger 9E

OK, I understand what you're asking.

No, there has never been a double-stack SW9-series pistol with a shorter grip than the SD9, so there is no readily-available shorter magazine.

The only subcompact 9mm Sigma is the single-stack SW9M, which is a different design in virtually every respect (and is widely regarded as a POS, but I digress).
 
The SD 9 versions have 10 round mags available so they will be Kalifornica compliant.

So, if you buy one in Kalifornica it will have 2 ten round mags in the box.

If you buy one in Texas, it will have 2 sixteen round mags in the box.

Also, both mags are available from retail sellers as well....for a nominal fee of course.

You can see the options on the Smith & Wesson website.

I think we've established that TruthTellers is after a physically shorter magazine, not necessarily one with lower capacity. The 10-rounders have the same outer dimensions as the 16-rounders.

My hunch is that the question primarily concerned the availability of cheap used or NOS mags at gun shows, Fleabay, and so forth. That's usually the reason that folks ask about mag availability for a currently-manufactured pistol; it's a given that you can get new full-price mags from the gunmaker, the LGS, Brownells, and so forth, but the question is whether they're available cheaper elsewhere.

More along the lines of which are just more commonly seen in the event that 10 or 20 years from now, after the pistols have stopped being made, if mags will still be easy to find.

Like with Ruger P series mags. I know the guns are fairly common, but the mags I have no idea.
