Chase, yes, they will work just fine. Most manufacturers including Glock make firearm packages that have 10rd magazines so their pistols can also be sold in states that have magazine capacity restrictions. The pistols are exactly the same but just have 10rd mags included. The pistols will also accept any standard capacity magazines just fine.
yes you are correct and the mags are interchangeable
Full capacity magazines will absolutely fit and function 100%! However, if you insert a 17 round magazine into your "CA legal" Glock 17 within the borders of California, the first thing that will happen is the gun will malfunction by failing to strip a round into the chamber. As long as the magazine is in the gun, even if you single-load a shell and drop the slide on it, the gun will fired only once and the slide will lock back. At the same time as you insert the 17 round magazine, your location will be instantly recorded and transmitted via sat-feed to local police, the highway patrol, ICE, and BATFE. Your location will be visually recorded using an NSA "keyhole" type satellite which can read the words on a dime from 150 miles up, even through clouds and smoke thanks to quantum thermal imagery. At this point attempting to escape is futile as the LEOs will be converging on your position within moments and will have exact images of you, your car, everyone with you, the gun you are h
