Colorado magazine capacity

[Chris C]

Heading to the Denver area over Labor Day weekend and just wanted to make sure I am interpreting their laws correctly that the new magazine capacity is limited to 15 rounds?  For some reason I thought it was lower than that.  Can anyone confirm for sure? 

Thanks

This is just my opinion, not legal advice IANAL


I am relatively certain that 15 is correct, but there is the totally ambiguous "can be readily converted to hold more than 15 rounds" crap and then there is the clause  that  previously owned and continuously held magazines are exempted, yet I know of no way to prove either requirement if you are forced to do so by LE, and would not advise possessing magazines over 10-12 rounds in Denver

Here is an interesting article about the provision I mentioned above

I believe that's the basis of one of the legal challenges active right now - any magazine with a detachable base plate can be easily extended, so this effectively bans all mags.

This is 3rd party information, nothing concrete...

But according to some people claiming to be from the Denver area, they said 10 rounds.

However, according to HandgunLaw (http://www.handgunlaw.us/documents/NoHiCapChemSpray.pdf) it is 15 rounds.

Man this is a bigger mess than I thought.  Can’t take my main M&P9 so I figured I could take the G23.  If it comes down to 10 rounds my XDS is the only reasonable pistol I have to CCW that would fit those requirements and the damn thing for some reason won’t fit in my Dale Fricke Archangel made for the full size M&P9 but the G23 will.  ha

Called a indoor range in Denver and they said indeed there is a 10 round mag limit in Denver.  Off to the Bullet Hole tomorrow to buy a new Archangel.
