Why I/we need A LOT of magazines - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...a-magazines-per-handgun.929140/#post-12865225
NOTE: I have modified some of the reply words to make the responses more pertinent to 2024
But in 2024, need to engage and defend against large groups of looters on multiple occasions has been well established/witnessed after past several natural disasters like Hurricane Andrew/Katrina or mass mob protests where police/911 response and "law and order" were not immediately available and home/store owners had to defend themselves or got robbed/looted/raped/killed.
So for me, I need to have enough magazines on hand for defensive pistols/rifles to fend off multiple waves of looters. (Hey, "life" happens ... Some people got robbed/looted/raped/killed ... I don't prefer to get robbed/looted/raped/killed so I chose to arm myself to protect myself, family and neighbors. Maybe being a medic in the Army influenced how I see realities of life )
Because, you don't want to end up like this guy during a fire fight.
Be safe.

For a fighting gun I like to have [A LOT]
I like to load all my mags before [fire fight]
If you take the example of engaging multiple targets at match, need for multiple magazines will make more sense. If you factor number of loaded magazines needed to finish all the match stages without reloading, you get closer to number of magazines you may actually need to engage all the targets.The easy method of determining how many magazines you need. Take ... your gun and your mags to the [match]. Shoot all your mags up.
Then ask yourself did I have enough ... magazines [to shoot all the stages without reloading]? If no you need more mags.

Gun owners like Burt have guns and ALOT of ammo. But after fighting many of the Tremor Sub-species and used all of his ammo. (turned commenting on at June/8/...
