Is a M&P 45 considered non large capcity. I'm only a class B citizen. I live in a black town
Can't it be considered high cap?? Its not the pistol itself that makes it capable of holding more than 10 rounds, its the magazine. You can probably find extended magazines for any semi auto handgun that is in production today with ease.

I'm not positive on how this works... Just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents..
The M&P45 is ten rounds even in free states. It is not large capacity. And no extended magazines are available for it, so you can't make it large capacity even if you want to.
Whoops.
Still, the point stands that it's sold with ten rounders and its standard magazine capacity, unlike an M&P9, 40, or 45, is ten rounds. Therefore, it should not be marked down as a large capacity firearm unless you have one of those factory frankenmags or until such time that it is added to the Large Capacity roster. Of course, some dealers don't even like to sell any semi-autos to B-holders, so good luck with that.
BTW, Len, where did you get a 45MM magazine? That makes the firearm a destructive device, I'm pretty sure...
More than a few FFLs have pretty much enacted their own policy against selling anything other than revolvers to B-holders.
That's pretty absurd, given that even most of the larger ones in MA will gladly sell an LTC-B holder a large number of semiautomatic handguns.

Just reporting what I've seen posted here multiple times. It seems like some dealers insist that even a single-stack 1911 is verboten for B-holders.
M&P45 is not considered hi-cap? I don't get it..... seems pretty clearly defined in MGL Chapter 140 section 121... excerpt:
“Large capacity weapon”, any firearm, rifle or shotgun: (i) that is semiautomatic with a fixed large capacity feeding device; (ii) that is semiautomatic and capable of accepting, or readily modifiable to accept, any detachable large capacity feeding device;....."
By that definition, it seems that all semiautos for which hi-cap mags are available qualify as hi-cap. And the AG would probably argue they're all hi-cap even if nobody makes hi-cap mags for them today.
What am I missing here?

And from what I've seen in the classifieds here on NES, more than a few people don't want to risk playing around with selling to someone who has an LTC-B.
