Do you have any idea of how he's rated by the NRA or GOA?

One author sarcastically referred to these new handguns as "Clinton compact pistols."

Got me one'a them. Lots lighter to tote around, less felt recoil, and the same number of rounds of .45 ACP as my 1911A1. Actually a spin off, since it still doesn't come up the 10 round "limit", but is the same basic design as lesser caliber handguns with 10 rounds of magazine capacity.

The only mags that you cannot own or buy have the restricted LE only markings clearly stamped on them.

Mostly true. I have read that some mags made after the date have no markings, but even though owning one is technically illegal I can't imagine anyone trying to make a case on that (I mean, we're not psychic). Others just have a date stamped on them. But yes, by far the majority of mags by reputable manufacturers are stamped for LE use if they are restricted. The main thing a buyer needs to look out for is unscrupulous dealers at shows selling mags with the LE Only lettering sanded off. This does happen.

I mainly buy standard-cap mags (as opposed to the postban crippled mags) from places I trust: Cruffler.com, Dillon's Blue Press, etc. BTW, Dillon's has some nice new-in-wrapper steel 30 rd AR-compatible mags from England.

Vito Fossella is rated B+ according to the latest NRA survey. There is room for improvement, but I'll take him against Nadler, McCarthy, Weiner, etc...

When I was living in Rockaway Park I had Chucky and then Weiner. Where are you Brooklyn or Staten Island?
