I'm no gun aficionado. I have several but I am no expert. I figured I would ask more informed people than myself. **EDIT** Ever used AMEND2s? |

I wasn't being snotty. I literally have no idea how much mags are right now. When they were cheap and plentiful ($5-7/mag) I bought a couple mags of several different brands and found that all of my ARs would run Mag-Pul G3s, so I bought a bunch of them. Most of which are still in plastic. I also bought replacement parts. I also found that mil-surp mags ran in all my guns. At $3/mag, I bought several of those as well. Anyway, today everything gun-related seems to be scarce. My recommendation when this happens is to find and buy things that you know will work in your gun(s), and just deal with the price. You're going to want to wait until things settle down a couple years from now to stock up, so just get as many mags as you need for your purposes. So for example if I wanted to take a carbine class, I'd make sure I had at least 5 mags for drilling purposes. If just for plinking/HD, maybe 2 or 3 would be enough. Forgot about TEOWAWKI. At least 8 mags bare minimum. |

I prefer magpuls, but ive never had an issue with standard milspec metal mags either.
Both are cheap, but I mean why not 12 dollar magpuls on midway, they are in stock, and you buy 4 and they are free shipping. . https://www.midwayusa.com/product/2319180134 |

I use Magpuls exclusively now, with the exception of the 50 round drum mag I have.

We were coming back "home" from Wyoming and decided to take the Northern route, stop in and see Wife's family. Shortly after hitting South Dakota - we stopped at the Bass Pro there to take a break. I wandered up to the gun section. They had a barrel of Magpul mags there (folks from Colorado stream in there to buy mags) and I picked up 5 30 round mags and 5 40 round mags. They are quite good!

Doesnt seem to need one. Natural point of aim is right there at a quick shoulder. Im probably used to it because i never use a riser and my last competition rifle had a mft minimalist stock that was basically the same height as the foam pad on this buffer tube. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I ended up with 10 M2's and 5 M3's. 16 mags should be enough. Now I am working on ammo to fill them. This is tougher than finding the mags. I also came across a Sig Romeo 6H for dirt cheap. It now sits atop my AR. |

Signed up for my first hand gun class. Sept 12 is the earliest I could get.
I have never held a hand gun before. If you are new to handguns or simply require a refresher on basic handgun skills and handling, then look no further. This course teaches you all you need to know to safely handle and shoot both semi-automatic and revolver pistols. You will gain confidence and skills necessary to safely own, operate and use a handgun. You are provided with all classroom materials, guns (.22 cal / 9mm / 38 revolver), ammunition, targets, hearing and eye protection. This course is approximately 4 Hours. (Class times can vary on number of students)
