Hugh, good job. Clearly stated, the P.08 magazine should hold eight rounds. I know I have had mags that held only seven, which was due to the spring not being able to seat fully in the indentation of the clip bottom. Also there was the Powell cartridge counter (only counts to seven). There was speculation the 'eighth round' might have been the round in the chamber..but "eight round magazines" is clearly called out. Thanks.
