If you have firearms that work with detachable box magazines, you darn sure want more than one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The magazine is one of the major causes of malfunctions. If you only have one and it goes belly up, your gun just became a single shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Going to a shooting match? You probably want to bring a minimum of two for a bullseye match, four or six for anything where the shooting is much faster than that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you ever have to rent a range to shoot on? You\u2019re paying for the time. I\u2019d rather go there with a bunch of full magazines and spend that expensive time shooting instead of refilling cartridges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ever notice most uniformed police carry two extra magazines in addition to the one in their service pistol? And some carry more? When violent crime strikes and you are Society\u2019s designated gunfighter, it is worse than unseemly to run out of ammunition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Private citizen carrying a pistol? At least one spare magazine ain\u2019t a bad idea. It\u2019s not just for firepower. Remember, if the gun malfunctions due to a defective mag or a mis-shapen cartridge therein, ripping the compromised mag out and shoving a fresh one in is the quickest fix. Finally, you know how anti-gunners are always claiming the bad guy will just get your gun away from you and shoot you with it? A struggle for the gun can cause the mag release to be activated, and when you regain control of the pistol you don\u2019t want to have to look in the snow, the mud or the darkness to get your pistol loaded again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
