A firearm magazine includes a housing defining a cavity. A resilient
member is disposed in the cavity. A cartridge support member is movably
supported on the resilient member and configured for moving downwardly
into the cavity against increasing tension of the resilient member when
the magazine is being loaded. The resilient member when under tension
urges the cartridge support member and cartridges thereon to move
upwardly during a feeding operation. An adapter converts a firearm
magazine from multiple cartridge capacity to single cartridge capacity,
and is configured to be removably coupled to the upper housing to cover
the cartridge support member of the housing. The adapter includes an
additional cartridge support member. The housing and the adapter
cooperate to prevent the additional cartridge support member of the
adapter from being moved downwardly into the cavity.
