Just the fact that "high capacity magazines" is even an object of note in that AP article shows that the war of words is being lost. This arbitrary 10-round magazine thing is one of the most ridiculous things I've seen folks ever latch on to.
I've shot a couple hundred rounds of the Privi, and I think it is fine.
I'm primarily a traditional field positions against steel targets kind of shooter, so I'm not someone who is benchresting and handflapping over the group sizes I get. For my purposes, I saw no practical difference in...
