How may mags is too many

[Shazam]

Just trying to get an idea as how many mags you have per handgun?

5 per handgun is good if theyre ten rounders as that matches the 50 round bo of ammo pretty well.

No less than 10 mags/gun.

Which reminds me, I'm short of .45ACP mags.

Too many mags? I think it's the same as with handguns ... i.e., the only time you could have too many mags is, perhaps, when you are swimming.

Good Point DM

Otherwise there's no such thing as "too many"

In the moment I have 5 for my SIG. But there's a gunshow next weekend, where I most likely will pick up some more.

We have 13 g17 mags ATM.
Kinda cool to be able to a level 1 or 2 and not need to reload mags.

I used to like to have enough loaded mags to finish two stages of NRA Action Pistol without reloading. That meant 16 mags.

 

[NaOH]

Never enough mags.

 

[Popurhedoff]

I have at least 5 for each pistol

Never enough mags.

Never enough *good* mags...

One thing I like to do and found it helps for IPSC is to use a Feed mag. That way you do not have to bother trying to top up glock mags. As we all know they can be a pain.

 

[bluesclues]

My preference is 7 per pistol

what's a "good" magazine?

I never broke a pistol mag so far.

A *good* magazine is one that works well with your pistol, feeds cartridges reliably & the follower engages the slide stop and allows it to lock back the slide when the mag is empty if it is meant to do so...

I've never "broken" a pistol mag so far either but I've encountered more than a few that have not operated correctly. Usually they have been the 'cheapie' ones...

[Max Owner]

I have 8 for my IDPA gun.

I plan on getting a 1911 (a few actually) that will be used for tactical and IDPA stuff. I will hopefully get 10ish for them.

[IM_Lugger]

[Strangeday]

I have 34 mags for my .38Super...LOL...I get tired before I run out of ammo

 

[skycrane]

i try to keep 10 mags per gun...but its easy to get carried away with mags...than again...you can never have enough for some reason. its much like guns.

 

[Jeff/1911]

I can't seem to keep a gun "in stock' long enough to accumulate very many mags for it.
