I have 3 magazines that I would like to sell. They are 9mm clips for a Sig Sauer and they are 13 shot clips. I don't know that much about hand guns and don't know if they are considered " hi capacity " or not. Need a little help. Thanks in advance. Dan. (Md)

generally, if the're over 10 rounds capacity, the're considered "Hi Cap"...

Federally, there is no issue. There may be an issue with the buyers or sellers home state though.

They're standard capacity magazines, probably for a P228 or P229.

The political term is "high capacity clip", arbitrarily pegged at 10 rounds nationally to coincide with mag bans. In NY an 8 round mag now is "high capacity". In Colorado over 15 rounds is "high capacity". See how that works? The Sig/Sauer mag that actually is "high capacity" is the optional 20 round mag, because it's not a standard mag.

You could run an ad here and put the usual disclaimer that the buyer must reside in a state where such magazines are legal, and it is their responsibility to comply with the law. But states like California, NY, NJ, and the other usual anti-gun states should send up a red flag.

Also, state that you believe they are for a P-228 or P-229 in 9mm, but they are being sold "as-is".

As far as IDing the mags, I've posted a link to a Midway page for them. Also their price is $40 per mag, so if you set yours under that with also taking some shipping and money order costs into consideration, you should be able to get a buyer. Maybe $25 to $30 each if in decent shape. Maybe a bit more if perfect, never used.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the help. ~~~ Dan.

Be very careful shipping a prohibited item into a state. You may think you are escaping liability by saying "buyer must determine legality of ownership", but you are not. Felonies and hi-grade misdemeanors are expensive to defend. I am not giving you any legal advice, nor am I advising as to what is or isn't legal in the various states. I am just cautioning you to be careful. Assuming you are well-versed in the laws of your own state, and the magazine is legal where you reside, just head to a local gun show and turn it into cash.

Best answer Brian! Thanks

I know the 10 round+ magazine prohibited list includes at least NY, MA, CT, CA, HI, DC, and Maryland.

BTW, gentlemen, it's magazine, not clip. Clip is the device used in M1 Garand.

Clip? What's a friggin clip? It's a magazine, not a "C" clip or any other kind of clip, not even a tie clip. It's a friggin magazine!!!!

 

[Hotrod67]

Kolardude.... Take a pill!!

It's not pop, it's soda!!!
I think it's a regional thing folks.

 

[spritc]

Thanks, feel better now.

 

[Hotrod67]

K-dude that's a great answer, funny as well. I did cover my bases though once I said magazines and the next I said clips. I was right once. (LOL) Thanks everyone for your suggestions. The gun show route seems easiest. ~~~ Dan.

clip.

Still love that every time I hear it!!!

 

[Gussers]

I was told a clip is what you use to hold papers together.

I sometimes use a "clip" to mark pages in a "magazine". !!!

 

[mx8dave]

Wow Willys ,,that must leave lumps in your magazine,,,MX8/Dave

 

[shannon391]

For what it's worth their was a lot of guys coming home from Nam calling them "clips". I feel they earned the right !

 

[Tripod]

Banana clip.

Rick,

Being from Colorado, I'm surprised you left out "Roach Clips".
