Au Contraire, it most certainly DOES amount to a ban.
You CANNOT obtain proper capacity magazines for new production handguns, period. There AREN'T ANY for guns in 357 SIG, for instance, that aren't marked LE USE ONLY and thus ILLEGAL TO OWN.
HK was forced to design a DIFFERENT MAGAZINE for its "sporting" SL8 that will only accept 10 rounds, and the GUN is compromised in design PURELY BECAUSE of the 94 Crime Bill.
It's a stupid, dangerous and ridiculous law that makes it clear who is in charge (The Government) and who is Subordinate (The People).
I agree.
