Do you have dedicated mags just for range?

So at least you don’t clean THEM along with guns shot ?

 

yes. I have a few magoul glock mags i use at the range to save wear on my factory glock mags.

 

No, I prefer to regularly test the function of my magazines along with my defensive firearm.

 

No...I want to know all my mags work as expected and so don't separate them.

 

Yep. I get cheapies for the range & keep my good mags w my armor.

 

I don't have any cheapy mags so they all get to go to the range with me. I do rebuild them with new internals when feeding problems start occurring.

 

Yes. I have a few 10 round mags left over from the 1994-2004 AWB for Glocks. They still function just fine, but I only use them at the range.

 

I use Magpul magazines at the range.

Mostly because they're covered under a warranty

 

Nope, my mags, speedloaders and moonclips all get used everywhere; woods, match, CCW.

 

I save several mags that run perfectly, and a few that are not consistent enough for SD, these are my range mags.

 

I have 12 or 13 Magpul Glock mags for range use only. Load em up the night before so I don’t have to drop live ammo in the dirt at the range. Magpul mags have been so ridiculously reliable I’m starting to trust them like factory Glock magazines.

 

Yes I do have some extra mags kept in the range bag along with a couple ammo pouches with extra rounds. Nothing ruins a range trip faster than arriving without ammo or a magazine.

 

I have enough good 1911 mags that i have a set I save for major matches, a bigger set I use for local matches and the range. Also several just for carry that I shoot a little at the range. It's not neccessary because I haven't had troubles with them but I have enough so I use them this way.

 

Actually, I do have a separate set of magazines for my Anschutz rifle. I shoot small bore silhouette and have a separate range bag that I use only for matches. I keep an extra set of magazines in it. I also have a set of magazines in my regular range bag as well.

 

Yes, for my 1911 I use the factory mags for most range use, the 3 Wilson 47D's and 1 CMC Shooting Star are for carry.

 

I have quite a few 10 round mags from living in CA that I now use as range mags. I still use my standard cap mags at the range as well. Also, I use the 10 rounder for load development. I load 10 rounds of each test load in each mag with a masking tape note on the floor plate indicating the powder charge and bullet. Makes it handy.

 

In most cases, yes- I have Glock, AR15, AR10, and 1911 mags just for the range. I also have some guns that are just for the range that don';t get cleaned too much. My primary carry pistol is a shield 9 and the mags are pretty pricey- no rubber made container of range mags for that one.

 

I have several inexpensive 9mm 1911 magazines i use at the range, None have had a functioning problem yet, durability will be interesting to learn, but a lot of rounds through all has been promising. I also have two non-manufactured mags for my Bersa Thunder .380 that function well for range use.

 

Factory Mini-14 mags are quite expensive, so despite warnings I tried aftermarket mags, none of which work well.

They're good for clearing drills at the range, because inevitably, they will misfeed.

Wish Magpul would get off their butt and make some aftermarket mags for Mini's. lol

 

Sure do. I save my MagPul Glock PMags for the range only since they all have issues in my pistols. I also keep the few ETS G43 mags around for stoppage drills since they are guaranteed to malfunction.

 

Nope. Back in my competition days, I had mags segregated for competition use (they had to be ≥100% reliable). But, range mags? Those just have to hold rounds.

 

No, but being able to ID a particular one when a magazine starts acting up is why I mark them.



Stay safe.

 

If I have a magazine that's not in factory packaging it gets used. The new ones sit until needed.
