Rhode Island Magazine Limit: 10 Rounds

Rhode Island General Laws section 11-47.1-2 defines a large capacity feeding device as a magazine, box, drum, tube, belt, feed strip, or other ammunition feeding device that is capable of holding, or can readily be extended to hold, more than 10 rounds to be fed continuously and directly into a semi-automatic firearm. An attached tubular device capable of holding only .22 caliber rimfire ammunition is excluded.

Section 11-47.1-3 gave a person who possessed a covered device on June 20, 2022 a 180-day choice to permanently modify it, surrender it, or transfer it to a licensed dealer or an eligible out-of-state recipient. The statute did not create an ongoing general possession grandfather.

There is no federal magazine capacity limit; the 1994 federal assault weapons ban expired in 2004.

Federal baseline verified 2026-10-20. Scope: Detachable magazine round-count restrictions for handguns and long guns. States not listed have no capacity limit.
