I have a chance to pick up a couple Ruger 9E at a very good price - the deal is they're the MA version - does this mean it's just a stunted magazine or have other 'stuff' ( esp trigger foolishness ) been done to them?

10 round mag, and possibly a heavier trigger.

Mass spec requires a > 10 pound trigger, so price a trigger job into your "very good price".

Not exactly true. It is one way to meet the AG Regs, but they allow other options such as the requirement to have 2 or more processes before a gun can fire substitutes for the horrendous trigger pull option . . . that is the way 1911s qualify with very light triggers.

So the 10# requirement is only for double-action handguns? Interesting.
