[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Why does the Colt 6920 come with 20 round magazines?

Not sure if this is the right place.

Something I've been curious of but don't know the answer. Do most police departments only allow 20 rounders to be used?

Curious why they wouldn't just include 2 30 round mags.

Anyone know?

Not all states permit the 30 round mags, so it's probably better for Colt just to sell them with the 20 rounders.

ETA: Certain distributors will sell them with 30 rounders depending on where you're ordering from.

It's an ordering option. 20 or 30 rounders. Most dealers seem to order the 20 rounders. Don't know why.

So they can sell you more thirty rounders.

I just bought a Colt 6920 and it came with two 20s. I don't care I got some HK mags ready to slap in it as soon as I get to the house. The 20s will be cool to have to throw in my pocket or shoot around. Anybody know how much I could sell the 20s for? It can help relieve me from dropping $1300 on the 6920
