2.3. Magazines and ammunition
Magazines
The magazines supplied with the
pistol have a total magazine capacity
of 20 rounds (10 rounds where
restricted by law).
With an additional round in the chamber,
the pistol has a total capacity of 11 or
21 rounds. However, as we recommend
that, unless shooting is imminent, no
round should be loaded in the chamber
of the pistol, the recommended maximum
carrying capacity is 10 or 20 rounds in
the magazine with the chamber empty.
This magazine is unique for the Five-
seveN
®
pistol and should not be used in
other pistols and no other magazines
should be used in your Five-seveN
®
pistol.
The left side of the magazine has been provided with four openings
which allow you to estimate the number of rounds left.
If the base of a round is visible in the hole ‘20’ (or ‘10’), the magazine is
fully loaded while the other holes simply offer you the possibility to estimate
the number of rounds still in the magazine.
