I only load my 30 rounders with exactly 4.5 rounds each. Wouldn't want to wear out those springs or feedlips prematurely, or fail to fully insert on a full mag.

Single load, for ultimate reliability. Your double-feed malfunction rate will drop to 0%.

(Your split times do go up a bit, though...)

That is a very good price. I don't need any really, but at that price I think I'll buy a couple of boxes. Thanks for the link.

Seriously, just glad I have three 7-round magazines!

I think ammo manufacturers should make custom quantities depending on the gun.

They should make a Glock 19 box that comes with 15 rounds and a G19 box +1 if you carry in the chamber and top off...

It's funny how many folks I see buying a new pistol, picking up 2-3 boxes of ball ammo, and 1 20-round box of defensive ammo.

Really - you aren't going to run 2-3 magazines (at least) of the ammunition you intend on carrying through your new pistol?

I knew a guy like that. He justification was that defensive ammo was too expensive. Guess the risk of finding out if it worked or not was worth it during the most crucial time.

NovX makes the 26rd boxes you can have a couple extra rounds for a rainy day..

Buy six boxes...
