Jimmy, did you already complete the transaction on those mags?

Jimmy you won't go wrong with any magpul mag, I never cared if I could see my rounds, I counted, and was never a full auto kind of guy, and, like Mercer said, I never fully loaded one in the pouch or gun cabinet, always 2 short, never had any issues, now back in the bush in the foxhole, I might load them full just before the omelet hit the pan, but in reality, a mag with 18 or 28 will get the job done. But to answer your question, 10 will be enough, most tactical bags only have 3-5 slots for extras, and after burning 100 rounds you need to reload them so your gun cools down. Tc

Thanks for the input. Searching around it appears the Magpul M3 is available. I can't find any gen 4.

I did yes. Free shipping so it ain't a bad deal. I did check around the web for price. Six of one, half dozen of the other as far as I could see.

They sell them done the street for the same price $14.95 ,,, could have picked up what you wanted.

Thanks John, I appreciate it, but these were on sale for $13.99 each and free shipping. I've got two now so if that omelet hits that fan I'm somewhat ready. BTW, most people don't say omelet when they say hits the fan, but some of us do

I don't need no pinchy conventional weapons. Thanks to a friend on base here I've acquired a few tactical thermonuclear weapons. I figure if things get rough I can clear out a 10 mile perimeter around my property fast.

The buried land mines will take care of the rest.

The body count, AFAIK, within a 1/2 mile of my condo is probably about a dozen. Over a ten year period, so it ain't like a weekend in Chicago, but I'd rather be tried by 12 than carried by 6. An ounce of prevention being worth a pound of cure.

John makes an excellent point, buy as many as you can carry, or maybe a few more.

Chances are, in a protracted situation you will have to be mobile. A tactical vest that carry your mags is a great option and at least, keeps all you gear in one place.

In a gunfight the person that will survive, is the one that can react the quickest and most efficiently, to ever-changing conditions… in many cases it is a matter of milliseconds. In a crisis situation you will revert to your training, if your training is weak or non-existent…

Hm, interesting, best of luck to you all.
