Ordering pistol online question

Most likely they will not ship a pistol with mags that hold more then 10. They will either swap them out for you or not sell you the handgun. In any case you cannot take possession of the magazines if they hold more than 10 and you do not have an exemption from the law ( LEO or FFL exemption).

Yeah, but don't you feel "safer"? (or is it "more safe")

What handguns are you looking for?
I was looking for a M&P 2.0 and wound up finding and buying one at a LGS that had 17 Rd mags but will be pinned when I pick it up. My problem was a lot of stores I went to had none in stock and sadly some did not even know what a 2.0 was so I went online and could find none that would ship with ny mags.
As has been said you will not be able to take possession of a pistol with standard capacity mags unles you are LEO. Most online stores won't ship a pistol with standard cap mags to PRNY regardless. Some will ship without mags without discounting price so do your homework.
Speak to the seller, speak to the FFL, and lastly, speak to the manufacturer, some will swap out the correct mags with the FFL... And lastly, look harder, most manufacturers sell to match municipality restrictions, ie, CA, MA, NY, etc.

Like others have said, the FFL has to agree to pin the mag. Alternatively the seller sometimes will just not include the mags. When I ordered my 2.0 online, I verified my FFL (Sharpshooters in Pulaski) would pin the mags (slight charge, think it was $10/mag) and I mentioned that in the ordering comments. Come to find out they actually called my FFL to verify and notated it on the invoice. It delayed shipping by a day but I still had it within a week.

Try grabagun. They usually offer the same pistols in both 10 round mags and whatever comes standard.
yes I did find that but it was 45acp which I think is standard cap. I was looking at 9mm but thanks for the link

I also wanted to add about the pinning, at least when Sharpshooters did it, they expoxied the bottom of the magazine, so you cannot (easily) take the magazine apart. Still usable for range duty, but I wouldn't eject it into mud/dirt/snow etc as it would be difficult to clean.
