I've recently moved to a state that restrict magazine capacity to 10 rounds and is a "may issue" state.
Would those above restrictions change your choice in handguns? For example would you still carry/use a 9mm handgun that when only allowed 10 round? Or would you switch to a 45acp?
For me, I have M&P 2.0 with several new unopened 17rd magazines that I can't sell within state (can't buy high capacity mags within the state, either). So I guess I'll eventually have to pull the 10-round mags.
I chose a Glock 30S which is the trim model 30 utilizing the model 36 slide and barrel. I have never regretted the choice and could never be sold on less caliber for its purpose.
You are correct in regards to being able to get a carry conceal permit in a state that has magazine restrictions, from what I can gather is that's a snow balls chance in hades for citizen to get cc.
Thus I am thinking along similar lines as you, get a handgun that was designed only to have 10 round capacity (or less) rather than carry reduced rounds for those intended for more rounds.
From google searches, I can't find any IDPA, USPSA, etc type shooting matches around here anyways.

No, as all 3 of my semi-autos were built for/with 10-round or less magazines (Baby Eagle .40S&W, Sig 938 9mm, & Mauser model 1914 7.65Br {.32 ACP}).
The Baby Eagle has 10-round mags.
I do use the 7-round mags (Sig-made) for the 938 rather than the 6-rounder it came with.
The M1914 has 8-round mags.
Pretty cool.

Yes - it is very fun to shoot. It came with 2 magazines... both correct* to the late 1921 production date (by serial number) and both serial-number matched to the pistol!
* The baseplates etc went through a number of changes over the years - the ones on my magazines are the pre-1923 type, so they are not later magazines with false serial numbers.

Nice. Quite a collector's piece. I notice that the safety release looks like a modern day mag release, but the actual mag release is of the heel type so common in European autopistols till recently.
Yes - but let me tell you that the spring on that heel release will NOT allow accidental release of the magazine - it takes deliberate and definite force to move that catch.
The slide does not have a release - the slide locks back on an empty magazine or if the magazine is removed and the slide then racked, and can only be released by inserting a magazine (empty or full) fully - or by inserting a long thin tool into the opening in the slide to depress the slide release in the right-hand area to the rear of the opening in the slide.

Inconceivable!!! My condolences......

My little 365 that is currently on me has 13 rds on board with another 15 waiting in a mag in back pocket.
With that said and all kidding aside, I would probably go back to something in a 45ACP flavor in the winter and a lightweight 9mm with 10 +1 in it during the hot summers. And, I'd have several spare mags with either.

The nationwide 10 round magazine restriction was one of the drivers of the resurgent popularity of the 1911 (not that it was ever unpopular) and other ‘10 or less’ round handguns that were typically larger than 9mm. Starting from scratch with no ability to get >10 round mags, I would say lots of folks would try to:
a) get the smallest gun they can that holds 10 rounds - or - b) get the biggest caliber they can in their chosen platform that holds 10 rounds.
