How many mags are enough mags?

[Shemp]

Like the title says, how many mags are enough mags for your pistol? Your rifle?

Depends on the gun... 10/22 mags are cheap and tend to wear out, so I treat them as if they're consumable items (specifically referring to Butler Creek mags).

Carry gun is a G26, so the G17 mags overlap and I don't care about having more than two for the little carry gun.

AR mags... 10 minimum, or 5 per rifle.

SP5K... they're damn expensive. I only have the two mags that came with it.

I'm trying to decide how many mags to buy for my Z43p. I have 5 right now and a decent deal on 5 more popped up, just debating whether I need them or not given the current political climate.

I have 5 UMP mags so far.

Also, very jealous of that SP5K

I sold a lot of stuff to pay for that one. Still don't regret anything.

if you’re swimming in mags then not enough.

you gotta be drowning in them.

 

[Cudruln]

I don't really keep track of my mags. Rough guess

Ak 20+
Arx39 20+
300blk 5+
308 just one. Need to get more for this guy

You're always after my package.

Yes

I bought the SET AR mags just to have a way to identify my 300 BO mags.

KISS principle fully in use!

 

[SouthernSlammed]

10 is a nice round number, that's per gun!

My thought is on a range trip I'm not reloading mags! That's for sitting in front of the TV!

I typically keep A MINIMUM of 6 mags per gun type. That's the chest rig full and one for the weapon. But I prefer to have more. More is always better.

I just had that issue with my 10/22 mages. I do believe they not made to keep loaded, that flat tape spring seems to get weak. Its a pisser that Ruger since they come apart would sell the internals.Thing is my rugers failed before the bulter creek.I use the steel lips ones

thats for anal retentive guys,do 11 just to see if you can handle it.

There is a simple formula for how many mags you need for each gun.

x = y + 1 Where x is the number of mags you need and y is the number of mags you have.

 

[Laufen]

Pccs: 20
Ars: 50
Ccw:3
Rimfire pistols: 5
Other pistols: 15-20
Other rifles: a few

Always adding more here and there

 

[AtlMedic]

I have 5 for my M&P and I’ll pick up a couple more if I find a good deal. If not I’m ok with 5.

I have two for my Glock 43 but want a couple more.

I don’t know how many for my AR, at least 40 and I still buy one or two a month when I see a deal.

I need a bunch more for my .22 pistol though. Like I want at least 10 total.

Only times you can have too much ammo is when you’re drowning or on fire.

How do you store/transport your mags?

I use these for AR and AK. Black for AR and tan for AK. Holds 13 mags I think?

Has a nice window so you can label the caliber/etc.

The "wallets" on the same page work great for pistol mags.

Free shipping over $35.
