    Just a heads up. RK in Frankfort has a wall of pmags available. Not the best price ($14.99) but there's plenty. They also have hexmags for $13.99 and MFT for $9.99. Pistol mags are slim pickings.

    Lost cause trying to find AR7 mags anywhere. Nearly everywhere is OOS, including Henry, WHO MAKES THEM, and the few places that have any want like $50 each.
    I'll wait. Guess I should have bought more when they were less than $20.

    I feel bad for the new guys.

    Those of us who have been around a few years know better.

    I know $ is tighter for some than others but if it is a priority, a guy could have made it happen over the good years.

    Also something to be said about recognizing when you have "enough".

    Only mags I'm looking at now are for a gun I would likely use in the future. I currently don't have an AR10 type, but at some point will again most likely so I picked up some 308 Pmags. Otherwise, this isn't my first rodeo.

    Last go around single 30rd AR mags got over $100 a piece on auction. We'll see what happens with this round of panic buying.

    At $100 a pop I'd sell at least 50 lol.

    Went internet hunting 10 round mags for various platforms last night.
    The folks in the states that mandate 10 round magazines have been stocking up big time. I found em, but it wasn't easy or cheap.

    I’ve been ordering AR15 mags from BCM for $10.95, Glock pistol mags from Natchez for $23.99 and just ordered Metalform Colt pattern 9mm 32rd mags from CDNN for $29.99.

    Natchez also has PMAGS for $10.99.

    Been carrying 9mm Shields for the last several years. Don't even own any 10+ mag guns. Couple of days ago I ordered an M&P FDE 17 rd 9mm. been looking at these for years. I figured I shouldn't take any more chances and ordered one of off Gunbroker. Also ordered 4 17rd factory mags for this from TombStone Tactical. I don't know what the prices on these were BEFORE all this but I paid $37.99 each.

    Natchez has M&P 9 mags for $29.99. They’ll have the black base pads though.

    well that figures....wasted 32 bucks!

    I checked 3 or 4 places before I went with Tombstone and they all wanted 39-42 each
    The S&W mags with tan baseplate are always more $. All things considered you didn't do bad in todays times. You just bought a very good reliable pistol with plenty of mags. I don't see any fault in that.
