The BS of "10 mags per Gun"

Glock mags are the only mags I've worn out.
It's one of the reasons I stopped using most Glocks.
To me the only models they have worth choosing over others guns are the 10mm models.
I've worn out and replaced mag springs on Glocks, SIG's, Beretta's, 1911's, and more. Also AR mags and I've had AK mags that used to work go bad on me. In all those cases, a new mag spring and I was back in business. Sometimes I have to replace a baseplate or follower as well. I keep spare mag springs for most all the guns I own.
With a Glock mag, it is possible to eventually separate the polymer shell from the metal lining, under long term heavy-duty use. I've done that, too. In that case, mail or carry the mags to Glock and they replace them for free.

I need to pick up some mags for my LCR and 686. I don't have any.
Convert 'em to moonclips!
Nah. Too much trouble for not enough benefit.
Seriously though, I buy mags when I see a good deal and when I have the money. I think I have somewhere around 200 1911 mags (been buying them for about 10 years now), 100 AR mags, only 50 AK mags, but I've only recently gotten back into AK's, and about 40 229 mags. I only have a few mags for my other pistols/rifles that I wouldn't grab in a SHTF situation. I don't feel the need to buy a shit ton of mags for guns that won't see heavy use should the need arise, like the OP said.

Six per firearm mostly because my cases have six slots and my OCD won't stand for seeing them empty. To shoot GSSF you need six, so it makes sense for the Glocks. As far as extras, like @2001SportTJ I buy them as I find deals whenever I come across them. How else can I charge more than retail prices on ODT and make a healthy profit? LOL.
