I'd want to put a few mags worth of duty ammo through it before I trusted a mag that long to feed reliably every time.

I was doing my monthly (sometimes bi-monthly, honestly) carry ammo rotation today. About two years ago, I realized, "Why the hell don't I have a G18 mag in my G17?" X300? Yep. However, I was still using the standard magazines. No need for concealment. Increased capacity. No real awkwardness. (Compared to holstering and carrying) How many of you guys keep a 33rnd mag in your nightstand 17/19/26? Can you forsee any gaps in my thinking? They're a bit awkward, but for a gun you're going to keep in your hand they work well. I'd hate to try to holster it w/ anything other than a horizontal shoulder holster. I've never seen any issues w/ one misfeeding on my G26 or G19. Nobody ever got to the end of a gunfight and said "DAMN! I brought too much ammo!" |

Car gun (insurance appraiser so I drive all day every day making stops at people's houses and such) is a G26 regular mag in it at all times but 2x 33 rounders in the drivers door pocket in case I gotta bail I'll have 76 rounds on me....

I agree it's very often. I just think it's worth it. I shoot FMJ at the range, like just about everybody. I have no delusions about being somebody more qualified than the next guy. My logic is, a mag of SD ammo in a range session, with the actual ammunition I'd be shooting is valuable. Ideally, we'd practice with SD ammunition 100% of the time. That's not cost efficient for most people. Including me. I can spare a mag a month though. |

The extra length and weight is not worth the extra rounds. If you want to have extended capacity plus retail weight and balance get some Magpul 21s or the ETS 22 capacity magazines.most things in life are compromises. Magazine capacity is one of them.

I don't see a downside to it if you can shoot the thing with the stick mag's weight accurately.
Is the stick mag OEM? I'd have reservations against cheaper magazines for HD. |

Yes. However, why are you not using a 50 round drum or a 100 round twin drum? On your AR9 SBR'd carbine w/ suppressor? And the bumpfire stock?

I also adopted the same line of thinking for my go to rifle. D60. Sure, they don't fit on chest rigs, but I'm not going into battle. I'd like the largest, most reliable magazine available. Especially assuming I'm not carrying reloads on my person in the middle of the night. |
