How much ammo do you carry with you?

[molonlabetn]

You guys are kidding right?

you know that the Glock 7 is fictional and doesnt really exist....

I've seen one!

...well, then again, it might have been a G27, since one of the chunks of the slide that had been blown off was where the '2' would have been.

(couldn't resist...)

[Guest canynracer]

LOL....

Oh sure, next you'll be trying to convince us there's no tooth fairy...

Um, Dotsun. We gotta talk, man.

And about that global warming.....

I carry one clip with a 16 round capacity, there is a spare clip in the console of the truck. I am guessing if i ever need to shoot, all 16 rounds will be gone when I stop pulling the trigger as I am running in the other direction.

Of course she's real, where else would natural rights come from, Cookie Monster?

[Marswolf]

I really like carrying spare clips.

[Mike.357]

I keep the spare clip in the truck, It is just kind of odd shaped for toting around in my pocket. A 1911 clip would fit a lot better in a back pocket or wherever actually.

[Guest michael1]

I carry one spare mag in the truck.

[Marswolf]

I carry one spare mag in the truck.

What's a mag?

[Im Neero]

What's a mag?

A .357 magnum revolver, in case the auto runs out of clips.

[Mike.357]

a mag is short for magazine which is a bunch of glossy papers stapled and folded in half with pictures and words and stuff

A "clip"is a "magazine" for those or us who honor those who served and fought for us previous to Vietnam. They still call them "clips" -- so they are.

I defer to them.

I am so down with that!

[deerslayer]

Why do so many assume that the only reason to carry a spare mag is in case the shooter runs out of ammo?

[Guest 2HOW]

Im in agreement with you marswolf on the use of the slang term "clip" . For those who dont know the difference a "clip" is in reference to a stripper clip, a "mag" is short for magazine, that thing bottom feeders need to feed ammo to the chamber. http://www.lifelibertyetc.com/RangeBag.aspx scroll and enjoy the knowledge.

[Marswolf]

Actually, I just call it a clip to irritate the grammar police on the board.

But every veteran I know from WWII or Korea does call it a clip. I do not correct them, but I do call it a magazine when I'm talking with them. Here on the board, I think I'll continue to call it a clip for a while, just to raise the blood pressure of the anal retentive.

On another front, most of the cavalry reenactors I know think they are Calvary reenactors. That always crucifies me.

[The Rabbi]

I also decided to call it a "clip" here just to annoy the "tactical-mindless".

I saw some nice stripper clips on youtube-- they are a lot different than magazines, for sure.

I use mine to keep my car from rolling backwards cause my emergency brake broke....hehehehe...KIDDING

[Guest Boomhower]

I don't really care who calls them what. All I know is that every firearm manufacture's owners manual that I have read calls them a magazine, but I'm not going to critize or be anal because someone prefers to shorten the verbiage a little. The english language is so broad spread now days, proper english is almost a thing of the past. I myself talk slang more than proper english. Sue me......

[Im Neero]

I'm going to start calling them speedloaders.

[deerslayer]

The correct terminology is a "hollow, portable, tube-shaped ammunition storage and allocation device." Of course, if it's black, one must add "tactical" to the beginning.
