Mags, mags, mags...how many do you have? Are they enough?

[22-rimfire]

I have a couple per gun that use detachable mags. Not planning on being in a fire fight and I don't shoot competitively. I have a couple that I only have one mag for. Looking for at least one more, but have not spent the money yet. I can get by with that at the range and plinking.

 

[33-805]

Never counted...

and do not intend to start. Magazines are one of those things that to me, you cannot have enough of. I buy them as I see them and can afford to do so. Same with ammo. "Too many magazines/rounds" or "Enough magazines/rounds" are all meaningless phrases in my world.

Anywhere from 1 to 25. I think have I for my Ruger Mk II. I believe I have around 25 for my S&W 4006. Buds Gun Shop was selling them for $7 per magazine not long ago.

I have 4 or 5 per hand gun (except my 22-45 just 2, and my p3at which I have 3 mags all loaded with corbon, federal and fmj. 1 extra mag on me and another extra in the car) I always have 2 loaded with defensive ammo close to the guns and the others are usualy range mags so I dont have to unload my hornady double taps in my .45 guns and federal in the .40. A quickloader for my revolver, but I think I am going to get some flat loaders that are easier to conceal. I have almost 10 (mostly 30 but some 20rnders) per ak and ar. I have a few 10rnder ar mags with Hornady 60rn tap For 2 legged critters. My bolt guns that take clips are well stocked. I still want more for everything pending funds.

Heck I've got 20 AK mags and I don't even have an AK!

I also have 12 mags for my AR, everything else I have like 3-5 mags for.

 

[Dunkelheit]

Actually not enough. 4 for every handgun and 10 for ever battle rifle.

 

[Polar Express]

I have 30 mags for my AR in 5.56,
I have 5 mags for my AR in 22LR
I have 20 mags for my M1A.
I have about 10 mags for a 1911, and I'd like a lot more, cuz that's what I mostly shoot.

I kinda figure that I've got enough mags for my lifetime, (im 34) but if I want my kids to be able to use them when im gone, I should get more.

 

[Gun Slinger]

As a general rule:

15 magazines per rifle (AK47s)

11 per pistol (Glocks & HKs)

 

[10-Ring]

Let's see, on average -- 10 each

the comment on 'time that i paid for' was probably directed at hourly ranges. There are a few in WNY. You pay by the hour, so down time with magazine reloading does hurt- especially when hourly rates can be upwards of 20$!

My magazine count depends on use. Frequently shot guns have more magazines. For ARs I have 10 or so 30s and about the same number in 20s. For my 1911 I have about 15. For my g17- about 10, and decreasing down from there. for guns that aren't shot often, 2 or 3.

Wow that sucks. The rifle range I go to currently is $60 a year (NRA membership mandatory), and let's you bring guests free of charge. They're also not one of those PC ranges that has rules against shooting at silhouettes.

 

[trickyasafox]

my club in CNY is similar, but 2 dollar guest fee and no silhouettes unless active military or LE. I don't mind- great leagues there.

 

[CCWB]

On average 3

Safety slugs for home

Hollow points for the streets

Range for the range

This way I can swap out the mag and the +1 as needed.
