Does This Constitute a Problem?

[Wabatuckian]

Am I the only one who does this? Those mags are stacked two deep, and I have six or seven more not in that box.

Only problem: it’s easier to shoot when you get to the range so you blow through all your ammo before you know it.

Not sure, is this the only box? If so, it may be a problem of not having enough. Especially with those single stacks.

I feel like I’m hearing Celine Dion singing “you are not alone, I am here with you”.

I have a minimum of 10 mags for all of my favorite guns. But if we’re talking Glock 17 round mags, I have 40 or 50 of them. $19.99 is such a great price for reliable mags.

And I love loading things up before I go to the range, so my 1 hour of range time is 1 hour of range time, and not 48 minutes of me loading mags.

I've always told people the minimum amount of handgun magazines should be 6.
More is best.

 

[SnoopLoggyDog]

My rule is minimum five mags per handgun and 10 mags per rifle. Of course, for the CZ75 and Glock 17, that handgun mag number is doubled.

Whats the reason for keeping them loaded?

 

[Robert Richardson]

I feel a lecture coming.

LOL, nope, I just wonder what the reason really is?

Reason I go six is if the firearm you have goes our of production and many years later a magazine part goes bad you'll have several left and you can save the bad ones for parts in the future. I'm thinking of some of the Gen 3 S&W semiautomatics.
It's getting hard to find magazines for them nowadays. I'm sure there are other handguns that fit that category as well like surplus foreign military handguns magazines are getting harder to find as well.

The night I come home from the range all the mags get reloaded That I used.

Well for me, All my mags for my CC and nightstand gun stays loaded, Oh and one certain rifle that will remain nameless because 2nd Amendment MFer! lol All other mags are unloaded till they are about to be used.

Isn't the constant loading and unloading what wears the spring out? Not just leaving them empty or loaded?

I'm just curious for reasons to keep a gross of magazines loaded for?
To me, a magazine is a consumable.

 

[Amishman44]

I keep a minimum of five (5) magazines per pistol loaded and accessible, for each pistol in the carry rotation...which is usually three (3) pistols. The bed stand pistol has a magazine in the pistol, a second beside it, and the remaining three (3) magazines in the top drawer. The AR pistol, mounted in the closet, has five (5) x 20-round magazines with it.
Currently live in a more rural area and don't feel all that's really necessary, like it was when I lived in the Fort, but old habits die hard and consistency matters!

It won't hurt them, and I had this idea once that I was going to store all the rounds I was reloading, in magazines ready to go.

I realized that wasn't practical after I got an auto-indexing turret press with which to do my handgun ammo, but this was the start.
