Re: How many Magazines do you have?

Somewhere in the 10 per platform range.

I probably have 40 1911 magazines, since I've been through the whole "purist" progression of using various original-type magazines through to the Wilson Combat magazines. I'm fully Wilson with my 1911's now once I timed my reloads--I actually shave 0.1-0.2 seconds by using the Wilson...not sure why, but the timer doesn't lie.

Basic logic behind my '10" count is this: Three for carry (one in, two spares), three for the range (to keep from swapping out ammo all the time). Add near-duplicates to the mix (Gen2 and Gen3 glocks for example--and sometimes I swap my carry) and 10 ends up being a nice round number.

I also like to load at the beginning of an IDPA match and not hit the ammo box again if I can.

I have been known to have more money tied up in magazines than the gun itself.
