Do these mags have the original factory base plates on them?
There are after market base plates that extend the capacity of the magazines.
or that can be readily converted to accept, more than ten rounds of ammunition
Another thing to be aware of- most prosecutors don't bother with the AW ban charge because most real criminals can get whacked on illegal possession of an LCAFD instead, if they don't have a license. This charge is in a different part of MGL (and has nothing to do with the AWB) and the standard of evidence is far simpler. (you catch a guy without an LTC that has a LCAFD in his possesion, and it's a slam dunk comparatively speaking, to an AWB charge.. )
I honestly think most DAs/Prosecutors don't bother with the MA AWB crap because it's a tough road to hoe with little likely success. They probably use the threat of it though, in some cases. (it's another felony they can throw on the pile during plea bargaining).

ETA: If it was me I would not loose one wink of sleep over my post-ban 10 round mags actually accepting 11 rounds.

Me too neither...
Does any one experienced this?
I'd dump the mags. Despite the fact that they're designed to hold ten rounds of 9mm, they're holding over ten rounds. That means that they're large capacity, and, if not manufactured prior to 9/13/1994, that means you have magazines that are illegal to possess.
Has anyone actually met or know of someone that got caught using a hi-capacity non pre-ban mag?

The thing is if he had a pearce plate on it it would add 2 rounds, not 1. I don't think pearce makes a +1 for the 9mm glock mags.
Here's a real simple potential problem. I have a 9mm that can readily accept and feed 9mm from a .40 magazine, designed to hold the legal ten .40 rounds. It could easily hold more than ten 9mm rounds, without over compressing the spring.
