Are magazines getting too expensive??

[MichaelH]

If a particular firearm has no aftermarket support, the manufacturer has a monoply on magazines and can dharge what they think they can. Glock OEM mags are reasonably priced probably because pmags really are as good and cost 40% less.

I don't think Glock cares what Pmag does.
Like any other manufacturer, they look at their production cost and what they need for a margin.
Personally, I don't buy Pmags because genuine Glock mags are superior and they are cheap.

Glock mags had 3rd party suppliers long before MagPul came along. Some were ok to good, some were crap. I generally only bought Glock mags because I knew they worked.

But yes, I agree - in general. SIG is not particularly good in this respect, despite the fact that MecGar, who made most SIG mags up until some years ago, offers better mags (or at least as good as) than the currently made SIG mags (AFAIK, SIG does not make their own mags) - IMO.

Mec Gar is great. Where to get CZ mags too!

Yes. Magazines are now too expensive. I'm
having to get my porn fix by watching cooking videos.

Three spare mags for my new Beretta 22 m9 $108 shipped.
For me, shooting is every bit as fun as riding my dirt bikes.
New dirt bikes are $13,000
I have two of those.

Hundred bucks buys JACK SQUAT now a days.

I would like a new pickup but that is only fun until the first payment comes due.

Last time I checked a few years back my CZ-P01 mags were $65 each.

CZ packaged mags are just Mec-Gar in a CZ blister pack. Mec-Gar CZ mags are usually about half that price. Even CZ ones shouldn't be more than $45 or so.

Sig P225 mags have become unobtainium. Common Sig and CZ stuff is still available brand new from Mec-Gar at reasonable prices.

HK33/93 and MP5 mags are priced ridiculously.

I've noticed Ruger Mk magazines increased prices. I paid $4 apiece more for some Okay Surefeed magazines, a couple years ago they were $8 each.

Was reading some guys are useing Walther p38 magazine they modified. Magazine is slightly longer than a 225 but the new cut on the body keeps it from going into gun too far.

I have seen several Browning BDM's come on the market but with no supply of quality magazines I am very leary of buying one. Is there a magazine that can be used or modified for the BDM?

They've always seemed like that to me. Even in the "good old days" every time I thought about buying an MP5-style gun I looked at the mag prices and decided no.

Everything is getting too expensive, why should magazines be any different?

 

[ktgee]

The other day I was shopping online for AR7 22lr 7 rds mags. Everywhere was priced 40 to close to 50 with shipping. Didn't buy it because if I had ordered 6 mags and that would had pay for a new gun with 1 mag. Not worth it.
