What's the longest mag you've ever seen? I'm talking about those 30 rounders for 1911's. The longest I've seen is a Sten mag that was like 4 feet long and held 200 rounds.

Any copy of "The Atlantic". It just goes on and one. One ponderous article after another, whiny East Coast Eloi--stop your bleating, please!

I've seen a 33 round 9mm mag in a Glock 26. That looked pretty funny!

I saw a 20 round magazine for a Colt Mustang. Several magazines chopped and welded together from what I could see. I have no idea if it actually worked.

My friend used to have a 33 round mag for his Glock. It looked pretty silly, but was fun at the range!

I have 30 round magazines for my S&W 59 & 5906 and for my Beretta 92. Also have a couple of 40 round magazines for my Mini-14.

Snail magazine for a custom chromed 1911.
I think it was 30 rounds.

This gun had a foregrip, muzzle brake, folding skeleton stock
(see skorpion) and was about the gaudiest thing I had ever seen.

I've seen the 20+ rounders for the SIG 226 and the 30+ rounders in the Glock 26. Kept staring thinking...huh? :scrutiny:

Weirdest I've seen is the Type II Snail Magazine for the Luger. They're a steal these days at $1150.

my friend was pondering the idea of an AK as a truck gun or buying more highcaps for his glock. the g23 mags were $100 bucks a piece and the 29 rd. mags was $100. so he has 15 rd.s in the gun and 29 at the ready. they might "look" funny but who cares when they work what they look like. i'll bet if it were blasting at a group of goblins not a single one would stop and say "hey look at that funny magazine sticking out of that glock".

I think 10-rd 1911 mags look ridiculous. :barf:

I have seen 33 round glock mags, and I once saw a pic of a 100 round AK mag, not a drum but a magazine. It curved all the way back to the front handguard. It looked kinda silly, but in a gunfight it would be just dandy.

If you watch the news on segments concerning the abu sayyef in the Philippines, they may show some of the recent footage of them. Usually, a few of them have M-14s and M-16s with modified mags (20 rounders). The feed lips of the mags have been shaved off and the bodies welded top to bottom. Some times they'd have at least five mags welded together. The modded mag hooks upward towards the barrel. Looks pretty goofy. Not sure how well it works.

Yes the ruger pc9 and pc4 use p series mags. And while I don't have a ruger pistol I do have a pc9 and some 30 rounders but they tend to be long so I use the 20 rounders more often.

Glock 17L + Bubits shoulder stock + 33rd mags = a nice substitute for an MP5 PDW + a lot of fun at the range

Grr, to bad that EVIL shoulder stock is outlawed here in the states. It makes that an evil assault Glock capable of killing wheelchair bound grandmothers and soccer moms keel over at just the sight of it. :rolleyes:

Yeah, it's almost a wonder that it isn't banned here. :what:

There are some AKs at a local gun shop. Not SARs but the other, single stack models. They have 50 rnd. mags on them and they are absolutely lewd.:barf:

Characteristics
Magazine capacity, rds 100
Large capacity semi-round magazine. The cartridges are arranged in double-row checkerboard order. There is a loop in the magazine front part to couple it with the barrel. In the rear part there is a follower with a catch for the magazine release lever.

I would not want a 150 round drum for my Beretta 950 .25 ACP. However, if someone else wants one, and someone is willing to manufacture and market it, they should have the right to do so.

It's only illegal if you haven't paid the NFA tax to register the Glock as a short-barrelled rifle. Once you do that, notwithstanding any state laws, you're good to go.

Seems to me the govt. would want to ENCOURAGE making a pistol so it's more accurate and less concealable, but then who said laws had to make sense. :shrugs:

Thanks for the clarification... I was pretty sure I'd read that they aren't being imported except for Mil/LE use... Thanks.

I think that the 33rd glock mags were originally for the Glock 18. It is basically a select fire 17. The high rate of fire would mean that big mag would be better.
I have also seen 15rd 1911 mags. I read somewhere that they were made for pilots duirng WWI. I read that in the early days of air combat, pistols were used. They also used things like dynamite, cognag bottles, and bricks.
Sounds like they had a good time.
But are bricks legal under the Hague or the Geneva Convention?:confused: :D

I once saw a 100 rd mag for a 1911.
It was 4 or 5 feet long.
I haven't got clue whether it worked or not, but it looked clumsy.

I've got one of these in my truck, never have to worry about reloading, but manuverability is severely impaired:

I've got 36 rounders for my TEC-9. Takes me about 8 hours of reloading to fill them.

Nice not having to load mags at the range. Load em up at home, pack em off to the range, and pop em off.

Problem is... a "day at the range" only lasts about 5 minutes.

The 36 rounders are a good fit if using the screw on "flash suppressor" (more of a barrel extension IMO, but it does knock the fireball down quite a bit). I've not felt that the 36 rounders are "too long", just right I'd say. They do make 50 rounders for the gun, I've not felt the need for any.
