Where/how do you store your magazines? Login/Join

I stick with 9mm and .380 so I don't have too many different calibers of ammo to deal with, but magazines are another story. Besides the P328, I have a P6, P228, and a SP2022 for starters. Also an HP and 1911. Keeping track of all the mags is a pain. What do you do?

Extra pistol mags are stored in drawers in my gear cabinet. Extra rifle mags are stored in labeled .30 ammo cans, .50 ammo cans, and "Tall .50" ammo cans. All are divided by type.

Depends how many. I cut holes in a thin sheet of floor underpayment (on legs a couple inches high) and I insert the mags head first through the hole so the baseplate stands up. The mags are alligned per pistol. The double stack mag holes are wider than the single stack mags.

It's sized to fit in an old dresser drawer that I use to store my shooting gear.

Beware of a man whose only pistol is a 1911, he's probably very good with it.

Get'em at Wally World. They stack nicely and are priced right.

Thanks for the links and ideas. I like the plastic drawer thing. I'll have to check that out. Thanks again.

Double stack 9mm Glock guy, I shove all my mags on a shelf with absolutely no organization whatsoever. I have a few 33rd and 17 round mags that sit loaded in the safe but otherwise, they're tossed in much like I toss my socks in the sock drawer.

All of my pistol mags are in iShot magazine pouches (they hold 6 mags.) I believe they have been discontinued, however, you may be able to find them online possibly still.

Clear steralite boxes of various sizes for storage.

Mags for training are in another separate box for easy access, with some preloaded for the range and in a range bag.

Duty mags are separate still - loaded and in carriers typically.

Once I had it sorted out and marked I flipped it around to store it out of sight inside the door:

I am a bit of a mag whore so to speak so I need to keep them organized. I have used the hanging shoe rack on the back of the door and although it works well up to a certain point it starts getting heavy and doesn't leave a lot of expansion room.

I have pretty much gone to clear plastic boxes, all labeled and it has worked very well for me over the years.

For example...

Carry magz in a small open top tupperware in safe. Range magz in something like this (not the brand I have but similar):

The rest are stored in containers with a humidifier close.

mostly in a big box all together, but I don't have anything where 2 mags look alike.

You are lucky in that regard. Browning HP and CZ-75 magazines bear a very strong resemblance to each other.

Just in an end table drawer. Razz If I had multiple guns with similar-appearing magazines then of course I would do something different.

Magazine rack; ones for my guns are just on the shelf with my ammo.

I keep my magazines in Ziploc gallon size freezer bags. If I want to separate the magazines between carrion range I use the court and pint-size Ziploc freezer bags. I have 10 handguns, 7 semiautomatic pistols and for each handgun I have 10-12 magazines except my CZ 83, 32 ACP, for which I only have 6. I have track shelving in my closet and the bag stay nicely on the shelves.

I have a total of 86 magazines and 20 AR 15 magazines.

Walmart is your friend. I went down to mine and found one similar to this on the advice of a forum member. I have everything from 30rnd 5.56 to little .32's in mine.

These Plano boxes come in different sizes and can be configured to fit different sizes mags, etc.
