Any legit reason to have 33 round glock mag?

[TestPilot]

If someone don't have to pursuade people of the justification of owning a sports car capable of doing 200 MPH on the road with a 70 MPH max speed limit, why should I need to do the same for a 33 round magazine if I live in a state that does not prohibit it?

Besides, doing 200MPH on a 70MPH speed limit road is illegal, but shooting with a 33 round magazine is not.

I was under the impression that this freedom thing was about doing things without having to pursuade everyone why something I do, that does not harm anyone, is necessary.

Is there a practical reason? No.

Is there a legitimate reason? Yes. Because you can.

Any legit reason not to have a 33 round glock mag?

Would not owning a Glock be a legitimate reason not to have a 33 round Glock magazine?

 

[Diamondback6]

Not if you have a Kel-Tec Sub2000.... Besides, while I don't plan to own Glocks I have buddies who do, and I wanna be able to keep them well-stocked when the Mutant Zombie Mall-Ninjas come... lol

 

[Funderb]

well, of course,

for



FUN!

I have two 20 round magazines for my XD-40, they are fun at the range, they cut down on reloads. Secondly, because I can, its my right, who cares how many rounds my magazine holds, and its not about "need".

You don't "need" that Cadillac Escalade, you don't "need" that $500,000 house, ect, ect.

Rant off.

Because I can


(G17L with factory 31+2rd mag & USP 9 with factory 31rd mag)

NWdude83, I think you need to count your ammo as you load your magazine. Even with the +2 extension it is difficult to get more than 30 rounds in.

I've only been able to get 34 into my 35 mag, just not strong enough to get that last one in.

 

[yongxingfreesty]

your mags are defective. no lie

 

[NWdude83]

Often with glock mags the last 1 or 2 rounds are difficult to load.

 

[yongxingfreesty]

i guess you are right......=)

 

[evan price]

Because when I put it into my KelTec Sub2000 carbine, it perfectly balances the rifle.

Plus, since the Sub2K is on the HR1022 list, and the 33-rd mags are on the HR1022 list, I can feel like I am sticking my fingers in BOTH of Carolyn McCarthy's eyes... "Shoulder thing that goes up" ye gods...

@DougDubya:

[edit] Controversies
After a spate of high profile shootings and incidences with the Ruger Mini 14 rifle, along with a number of unsavory associations the Mini 14 had gained with militias and extremist movements during the late 1970s and early 1980s, Ruger expressed a highly unpopular position (amongst firearms owners, users and enthusiasts) by stating his personal views on the "sporting" nature of certain firearms.

In a letter to members of the House and Senate on 30 March 1989, Ruger stated in what has come to be known as "The Ruger Letter":

"The best way to address the firepower concern is therefore not to try to outlaw or license many millions of older and perfectly legitimate firearms (which would be a licensing effort of staggering proportions) but to prohibit the possession of high capacity magazines. By a simple, complete, and unequivocal ban on large capacity magazines, all the difficulty of defining "assault rifles" and "semi-automatic rifles" is eliminated. The large capacity magazine itself, separate or attached to the firearm, becomes the prohibited item. A single amendment to Federal firearms laws could prohibit their possession or sale and would effectively implement these objectives."

In addition to the furor amongst hunters, sportsmen and shooters caused by "The Ruger Letter", Ruger made additional comments during an interview with NBCs Tom Brokaw that angered 2nd Amendment proponents even further, saying that "no honest man needs more than 10 rounds in any gun…" and "I never meant for simple civilians to have my 20 and 30 round magazines…"

Legitimate Reason?

First of all, I DON'T NEED a reason! Second, I DID HAVE ONE! I once moved into a nice rental house on a nice looking street in a nice mixed-race neighborhood. I wondered why the previous residents moved out of such a nice house.

It turned out that the house across the street was a Crip gang safe-house, looking anonymous by day but quite busy at night. They had turned the garage into a bunkhouse and ten to fifteen gangsters lived there. They came and went via their back fence and mostly after dark, making every effort at keeping the location secret, especially from their rivals, the Bloods gang.

Now, I had a double liability: I was a city bus driver, and all gangsters love to hate bus drivers (somebody in a uniform NOT allowed to wear a gun)! And I worked swing-shifts, arriving home at two or three in the morning, still in uniform. Often I would encounter a big car parked across the street full of six or seven armed and coked-up Crips. My legal Glock 19 with fifteen rounds immediately available just seemed a little wanting..................

Is that a legitimate enough reason to keep a thirty round magazine in the truck? My rod and my staff, they comforted me...........................elsullo

 

[dirtdog]

Just plain fun to shoot

or it was till ammo got so expensive.

 

[BamBam-31]

Easier to swing when the bayo's attached.

 

[SoCalShooter]

What if you need to kill 33 flying spyder monkeys?

 

[DougDubya]

evan price - he's dead. It's over. I saw the attributions. Find someone else to hate.

 

[clemsonu0219]

there is really no legit reason to have a lot of guns, or features on guns, that i have... but hey. its fun as hell

 

[SimpleIsGood229]

Legitimate reason for owning a 33-round magazine? The thought simply crossing ones mind is completely sufficient!

That reminds me; I should pick up an extended mag for my P229R.

 

[makarovnik]

I think it's a little silly but if you want one you should have it. Now if it's a full auto Glock then you would definately want one.

 

[NWdude83]

33rds, because 17 is what the French like.

 

[Dan-O]

Because it makes my Kel Tec Sub2k a pretty formidable little mini rifle.

DougDubya: I didn't hate him. I know he's dead. You asked for the info. I provided. How am I the bad guy here?
