Are magazines getting too expensive??

That is expensive.

$120 versus $82.87?

 

[Jay Walk]

I agree, that is some good prices.

I have picked up a few in the last month, not price shopping much since I live in WA

I was in BiMart yesterday. I saw a guy buy all the 15 rd Glock .9mm magazines they had.
Seven, I think.
It's a jungle out there.
Best,

Got my Five Seven mags delivered yesterday

I am still doing a mag inventory.

A conservative estimate of number/cost leads me to believe I have spent about 10% on mags that I have spent on guns. I have spent quite a bit more on ammo than I spent on mags- probably somewhere between 30-50% of what I have spent on guns (not including accessories - just the bare guns).

Ordered four BX-25 mags today $120
a good deal considering I cannot online order them after July 1.

That's not a great deal by any metric I'm aware.

I recently bought a Canik, it came with 2 factory MecGar mags. Locally I couldn't find any of those but a local shop had some Promags. I regret that purchase as the rounds bunched up midway and there are no witness holes for round count. I ordered some MecGars online and will save the crappy ones for practice.

Somewhere along the line in the last ten years, I somehow unintentionally, picked up a ProMag 32 rd mag for a P226

About a month ago I decided to test it to see what would happen. Today the weather was nice, I had it loaded up already (ball reloads), so I took it out on the porch and it ran fine. Repeat and rinse two more times (~100 rounds) and no hiccups - so far.

I will probably run some more reloads thru it today, but I am pleasantly surprised that, given their poor reputation, it has run fine so far. I will probably use it during practice for a year or so, if for no other reason than it allows me to concentrate on shooting for a longer period of time. If after that time I have had no problems, I might consider it for a last ditch high cap mag as it seems no one else makes high cap mags for the classic series SIGs.

You don't even want to look at Hk mags I use to get USP mags for $15-20 !

When!? Lol. I had a USP Tactical .45 about 13 years ago and even back then mags were $50 or more each. It's crazy to me that Sig P365 mags now fetch the same price tag.

Maybe his next Tik Tok video will feature him lighting cash on fire to reduce the money supply to fight inflation.

They've always been expensive.
An exclusive low volume market I think, so they have to pay for the tooling.

About 25 years ago is cost me a bit over $100 for a spare magazine for my Sig P210-6 and I wish I'd bought 2, I don't want to look at what they cost now. If only the new Sig 210 USA magazines fit the Swiss pistols...
