Yes, 10+1 denotes a 10 round magazine. The +1 is 1 in the chamber then adding a round back into magazine to make it 10+1. A clip is a mechanism that holds rounds together to load in a firearm then is set aside to reload. A mechanism that stays in the firearm to hold your rounds while your firing the firearm is a magazine. 10+1 magazine fed firearms are legal in NY as far as capacity goes.

yes a 10 +1 gun is NY legal as New York State limits the magazine capacity of new handguns to 10 rounds

Tim, yes it is perfectly legal. All State/Federal laws reference the "Magazine Capacity" only with regards to firearm capacity and not the total loaded capacity of the firearm (which is the +1 chambered round which does not count towards the Magazine capacity limit).

Tim - This is perfectly within the law for the "10 round magazine" states. The magazine holds 10 rounds, and that is where the law applies.
