Hey Folks. I have a question about buying magazines. My primary pistol is a Walther P99 chambered in 9mm.
I have the 2 15rd factory mags that came with it. I want more, but I am a poor medical student. Looking around, I have noticed that the 15rd mags average $40 (gunbroker) to $60 (S&W). The 10rd mags can be had for ~$20 on gunbroker.
My thought is this: If I pick up 2 of these, I can load up an entire 50rd box at once.
The counter-argument would be, "train with what you carry," and I only carry 15rd magazines. However, when I'm shooting, I rarely do a full 15rd dump at once. I usually do 5-10rd drills.
So this seems like a financially-viable option for me. Any feedback or suggestions?
