How many magazines per pistol?
Just wondering how many magazines do you feel you have to have per handgun? For me, I have to have at least 4 mags, but I can never have enough rifle mags.

Minimum 8 mags per gun (5 for range and training and 3 for CCW/HD).

I would say 5, that way you have a full box of ammo ready to go... that is if they are all 10rd "non-Laughner-style" mags.
Just read in a news article that they are now referring to high-cap mags as Laughner-style... completely ridiculous.

Between 6 and 12.
Trying to figure out how to deal with the revolver.... lowest capacity, least convenient to load, arguably bulkiest "magazines" (speedloaders). I ordered a couple of speed strips, will see how I like them. If they work, then I'll get between 6 and 12.

I normally like around 8 for each caliber, like previously mentioned, 5 for the range and 3 for HD

At least between 5-6 and then a bunch of mag springs.

There is no such thing as enough magazines.
Buy plenty as you can afford.

10+ per firearm. You can't have enough magazines.

For me it's 5, this is because I have two double mag carriers for my belt, plus one in the gun, means 5. However, more can never hurt, and I like having mags that are always loaded so when I go to the range I don't have to unload my JHP for FMJ, I can just swap mags.

8+ per weapon
Seriously, you can't have too many fresh magazines.
On my 14 GLOCK collection I have a minimum of 8 per weapon. Some I have more than 10 per weapon. For instance in 10MM, on this GLOCK 20 I run 8 magazines. 6 are for Zombie Encounters and 2 are marked with an orange floor plate for range use. I like these 5 pack mag carriers. They protect my investment; they are handy to carry (fit nicely in a briefcase or range bag)..they can be carried on your belt. It has a velcro flap. It only take a few seconds to grab one and toss it in my locked travel case. http://glockstore.com/pgroup_descrip...%2BHolsters%2F For my .45s (1911) I have probably a dozen mags per weapon (8 .45s) that I have collected over the years. A big box full. Some are just for the range because they are getting old; I am too lazy to respring them. LOL

I've got it stuck in my head that I should have a minimum of 4 mags per auto loader. Don't know why, but whenever I get a new one I make sure I have at least 4.

I used to think having a bunch of mags was silly. After running around 5k rounds through the same three Glock high caps I started getting FTF's. I found rounds were tuning on end inside the mags. Replaced the springs and they were GTG. Now I bought four more just in case.

10-20 minimum, there is no cap on maximum unless your bank account is hurting and you can't afford more debt.

On my person: 3 is minimum, including the one in the gun.
Total owned: Minimum of 10 per gun, and as many as you can effectively keep track of should be the maximum.
