Dunham's selling state restricted guns in PA - 10 round Taurus TX22 for example

[windowman]

Last month Dunham's had a sale on the TX22 (with a coupon) for $279. My local store in Monroeville was sold out, so I went to W. Mifflin, they had "several" in stock. I've been shopping for this gun for over a year, so when I finally found one I just wanted to get it fast. I didn't inspect it close enough, but I did notice they brought out the model with a safety. I wanted one without, but all they had were ones with them. That should have tipped me off.
Only when I got it home did I realize I received a state restricted 10 round mag version. I called the manager. He explained the local stores have no control over what firearms they receive - they come automatically from HQ and they don't get to pick and choose. He checked his stock, hoping to swap mags, only to find that ALL of his stock is state restricted!
It's unbelievable that this is happening - I could not conceive of a store in PA selling guns that are for (fascist, anti-2A) restricted states.
Buyer beware..

There*s no magazine restriction in Pa, if that*s what you meant by *state restricted*. If not, what did you mean? I know of zero state restrictions.

I think the point of the message is that the feds and corporations have something in the works that we are not yet currently aware of.

My take on it is that you could get a 10 round mag when you are expecting a 13 or 15 rounder. I don't know what other restrictions might be on those weapons but the safety he speaks of could be one clue.

OP probably just meant a gun that has the 10 round mag for states that have that restriction. I suspect retailers/dealers are taking whatever they can get from wholesalers/distributors right now. I wouldn't read any more into it. Yet.

But perhaps go buy some standard capacity mags in the near future...

If your interested converting your mag this is from the Taurus forum.

Well,I have seen a lot about converting the 10 round magazines to 16 rounds.
The simple version is to remove and discard the thumb stud from the follower.
Next cut the plug on the locking plate. It is easiest to just cut it flush but if you leave a little bit it will be easier to reassemble the magazine.

I’ve seen this at more than Dunham’s. Sometimes it happens because it’s what they can get in.

Jesus. May as well call his mother a whore while you're beating him up for alerting you of something to beware of.

Why, is she going out at night in short denim skirts and red high heels, then returning at the break of dawn?

Happened to me when I got my TX22 out at Sportsman*s Warehouse near Harrisburg. I noticed it when he brought it out for me to see and he then went in the back and switched out the magazines for me. I ordered 4 more magazines from Taurus. I got them on sale I believe for $14.00 a piece. They were selling them in packs of 2.
