They are going to use a term to describe them. What term(s) do you like?
For pistols:
Standard Capacity = a magazine that fits in the grip of a pistol without extending beyond the bottom of the grip (other than the plate) that holds as many rounds as will fit and function correctly.
Extended Capacity = longer than that.
Limited Capacity = a magazine deliberately blocked from carrying the number of round held by a Standard Capacity magazine for that pistol and caliber.

For rifles:
Standard Capacity = largest magazine size in prominent and common use. (ie: 30 for ARs)
Extended Capacity = more than that
Limited Capacity = less than that
:iagree:

Nicely done, thank you.

Terminology and the mass media

So, I'm at the FoxNews site, reading this story and what do I see? The phrase "excess capacity magazines". In excess of what? Oh, yeah, the gun grabbers' magic ten round limit, I guess. THIS is the exact sort of stuff that needs to be pushed back against. I wish I could have contacted the author of the story, but it is incredibly hard to do that through some media outlets.

Anyway, here is the link to the story:
