    Mag Storage

    How do you guys store your unloaded magazines? I have them all over the place and need to get organized. Ammo can? Ziplock bags? Sock drawer?

      Depends on the setup. I keep most of my pistols in zipper pouches with mag pockets, so each gun can have 4-5 mags stored with it. Same thing for rifles that are kept in cases with pockets.

      Spares go into a storage bin, but it can be hard to keep track of them that way. I write the gun type and mag # on them with a sharpie, but that wears off over time.

        It takes me all of 10 seconds to throw them all in a box.

          It goes in the holster/magazine drawer.

            How did I know you would have an entire drawer devoted to mags!!

            Box on the top shelf in the safe sounds good, I just need to organize. It took me a few minutes yesterday to locate 6 of them, I freaked out for a second.

              I handload so I have a bunch of empty plastic Berry's bullet boxes. These are roughly 3"x3"x5" (don't have one right in front of me), but I can fit 4 Glock mags in each one, with a little room left over. I have one box for each gun where I put mags, little hex wrenches and other small tools/parts. Whenever I take a gun to the range I also take the corresponding plastic box and I know I have all the accessories that I'll need.

                  mine are everywhere. I leave 3-4 mags for the same gun together. The rest are somewhere here. I just have to look hard

                    LOL, it's not devoted to mags, it has holsters in it too!

                    My more important magazines which get used the most end up on my mag circle.



                    Easier to pick em' out of a carrier than to sift through a drawer.

                      I have two bins, one for rifle mags and the other for handgun mags. It's pretty easy to tell which mag goes with which gun, so I have no need for labelling them.

                          I have most my shooting gear in a foot locker with wheels so I can transport it to the range easier.
                          Insert something clever here.

                              But fortunately, you and I think the same!
