YES, they use the exact same magazine that is interchangeable. The 10 rounds are there for restricted states. I hope this helps

Trim nailed it. You are able to do as stated. It was my pleasure to assist you.

They are the exact same guns, the only difference is the one worth the 10rd magazines have a block installed in the magazine that limits how many rounds you can load, the 10rd mags will work in either pistol as will the 20rd mags. The full capacity model is in stock here https://www.sportsmansoutdoorsuperstore.com/products2.cfm/ID/246117/16401/ruger-ruger-57-5.7x28mm-full-size-pistol

Yes you can. 16402 is the state compliant model, same gun, just comes with a 10 rd mag. https://ruger.com/products/ruger57/models.html

Gerald, absolutely yes. Most manufacturers including Ruger 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 as the pistols that ship with higher capacity mags but, just have 10rd mags included. The pistols will also accept any standard/higher capacity magazines just fine. Cheers and stay safe!
