Mag count

[Tonyt915]

Was organizing mags today and was curious what everyone thinks is enough mags? I try to have 10 mags for each gun I own “with the exception of my Remington R51 and RM380”. Certain ones like rifles that use STANAG mags I have more than 10 per gun. With the current administration, I definitely feel like I need to be buying more but I only have so much room

10 minimum, less for range toys

Ten is a starting point. Twenty or more is better.

 

[Tonyt915]

Got some more mags on the way

In light of possible magazine bans I would recommend buying as many as possible. Too many is better than not enough.

What is this too many you speak of? No bueno

More and higher capacity is good 21rd

If standard capacity mags were banned, would prices plummet before the ban takes effect, or would demand rise to meet supply?

I'm one of those that thinks you can never have too many magazines.

price would increase due to much higher demand. I think a couple should be enough.

How many shoes does your wife have?

And @Vaquero comes back later with knots all over his head from his wife!

You should also think of magazines as being expendable. If they get bent, or dinged or damaged, they need to be replaced. Some magazines also have welded floorplates, so consider those as having a limited lifespan.

I have 2 -5 per handgun
I have 6 for one AR
I live a Calm life. Wink!

Good point. I need to buy about a 100. Do they come in different styles and colors too?

 

[thescoutranch]

As many as you can afford, to be honest.
Most likely, in the future, the magazines will not get cheaper than they are today, they will probably only go up in price

Lots and one of the best places to buy "large capacity" Magpuls is directly from Uncle Sam if you are a veteran at https://www.shopmyexchange.com. I did not need to retire to get exchange privileges. Can only shop mail order, no sales tax, free shipping over $49 order, great prices.

I’m in the thousands realm, with the fraudulent elected Bolshevik currently playing dictator in chief via EO I’m sure I will reach the 10’s of thousands before to long.

When I get asked by a new firearms owner my rule of thumb is:
semiauto home defense rifles 20 quality mags
carry pistols 10 mags
any common range toy or something like a FN PBR five mags.
safe queen/family heirloom three at least.
If the mag in question is imported or out of production I would say N+3.
for instance I don‘t carry my Walther PPQ M5 but since the mags are imported I will probably get at least 10 for it.

If you know exactly how many magazines you have, then its not enough
