Wow, you must be super duper extra serious... I mean all those collectors and target shooters definitely aren't SERIOUS shooters, and their guns aren't SERIOUS either.
What a condescending load of crap.
Lighten up, Francis.
If you'd read/understood what I wrote, I said for collector guns, fun guns, etc, 2 can get you by. Yet you inexplicably extrapolate that into something I did NOT say and then attack that!....
But for the "serious" guns owned by "serious" shooters, you'll simply need more.
Among other things, I shoot competition. For some gun divisions, I need 5 spare mags on the belt. That makes 6 total. If I have 12 mags, that's two sets of 6. I can rotate them, or have them loaded and ready to go if I need to shoot back-to-back, or if I had to dump my mag into the mud or sand on the previous stage, it saves me time. I merely have to pluck mag #7 out of the box and can put mag #3 in the side pocket to be cleaned when I get home.
Or, if you're taking a class, it really sucks to only take 3 magazines with you. You'll be spending more time loading than listening to the instructor, missing some of the information you paid to hear.
Ok, so someone owns a "serious" gun, say a Glock 17. But they only shoot it once a year. They also can get by with 2 magazines, possibly even ONE magazine. Glad it works for them, but they are not "serious" shooters in my book, no matter how stern they are when they shoot!
Are you one of those guys that thinks you can have
too many mags, especially hicap mags?
Or are you one of these guys that doesn't think hicap mags will be
ever outlawed and therefore, if you ever want to buy one, all you have to do is go down to your local gunstore? If so, you might want to reflect on the AWB of 1994....
