    No restriction other than Philly trying to enact a law for I think any mag that holds 16 or more. They tried that last year...it was not legal to do so... I'm not sure if it's still on the books or not, or if they have tried to enforce it.

    As many as you can squeeze into the darn thing.

    Heck, I carry a 40 caliber magazine in my 9mm subcompact cause it lets me carry 13 rounds in the magazine. Not bad for a subcompact. (Oh, I also have an extra mag on me. Just in case.)

    Just be careful around the water. If you fall in you're probably going to drown.

    yup... the only time its possible to be carrying too much ammo is when you're trying to swim or you're on fire.
