But I do concede the same wording about fixed tub magazine holding more than 7 rounds is in the rifle section (I overlooked it)

AW and LCAFD ban are separate.

There is no 7 round limit for shotgun magazines.

A shotgun that accepts a detachable magazine is also defined as an assault weapon according to the unsafe Act.

But if you had one and registered it then you could in fact keep 10 Rounds in it. The 7 round limit on shotguns is specific to fixed tubular magazines.

Does anyone know the legal handgun capacity limit for New York City?

NYC: You are allowed to have a 10rd capacity "handgun magazine", but you can only load up to 7rds in NYC (unless you're at the range.)
Revolver with 8rd capacity. only load 7rds in NYC (unless your at the range).

NYC/NYPD info.

(NYC has different rules for rifles & shotguns- can not have a feeding device of more than 5rds.)

MAGAZINE LIMITS FOR HANDGUNS?
Does New York City have magazine capacity restrictions for handguns?		And we have an answer with citation- thank you. So to be absolutely safe that an ignorant or over-zealous LEO doesn't break my balls, 7 is the limit.

No more than 7 to 10 rounds. It's complicated, with U.S. District Judge William M. Skretny in Erie County & the 2nd Circuit of the United States Court of Appeals rulings striking down the component that had made it illegal for individuals to load more than 7 rounds of ammunition into a magazine capable of holding 10 rounds. However, the law hasn't been changed.
New York prohibits the manufacture, transportation, disposal and possession of any large capacity ammunition feeding device, which New York law defines as a magazine, belt, drum, feed strip or similar device that:
  • Has a capacity of, or that can be readily restored or converted to accept more than 10 rounds of ammunition;
  • Contains more than 7 rounds of ammunition; or
  • Is obtained after January 15, 2013 and has a capacity of, or can be readily restored or converted to accept more than 7 rounds of ammunition.
There are exceptions for attached tubular devices designed to accept, and capable of operating only with, .22 caliber rimfire ammunition or a feeding device that is a curio or relic. There are also grandfather provisions for devices that have the capacity of, or that can be converted to accept, 8-10 rounds, so long as they were lawfully possessed prior to January 15, 2013, and do not actually contain more than seven rounds of ammunition.

Actually, I wonder what NYPD is approving on the purchase authorizations. Are they even approving handguns with capacity over 7 rounds?
