I'd like to get a high-capacity 9mm or (preferably) 40S&W handgun before it becomes illegal for me to buy greater than 10 round magazines on January 1 (guess what state I live in!). Anyway, I'd appreciate your recommendations and opinions.
Here are my criteria: Pre-ban high capacity mags still available, rust-resistant finish (stainless preferred), good quality, double AND single action capability (i.e.-traditional double action-not a Glock, Sigma, etc.). Light weight and low to moderate cost would also be big plusses (although not mandatory).
Here are a few I've considered:
HK USPc (can I get legal high-cap mags?)
S&W/Walther P99 (high caps available?)
CZ75 compact (stainless available?)
Beretta
S&W Chief Special (not too fond of design)
Para Ordnance P16-40
Ruger Autos
Thanks in advance for your recommendations.
PS-I've edited my list, per the comments below.
