I was meaning that I like to own excessive capacity mags because they have more bullets.
I have no desire to own anything other than 30 round mags for my AR and standard mags for my pistols. 15 rounds of 9mm being the most I have in a standard pistol magazine.

I don't like the bulk of stuff hanging out of the grip or the excess weight throws off balance.

I have some 5 round AICS mags for my Remington 700, but I'd really like to get a few 10 round mags too.

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
