Which one of you bastards is buying them up?

I spent hours yesterday trying to find a sight which had both Glock 23 and 32 mags + Hi Power mags in stock. Midway USA was the only place that had everything (save the glock 32 mags). I also bought a couple BX-25's since they were on sale, even though I don't even own a 10/22.

People are definitely in full force panic buying mode.

Going to pick up my Hi Power today and stopping by Walmart. I suspect not a single box of any remotely conventional ammo will be on the shelf by the time I arrive there....

Snow shovels sell out before a forecast blizzard...



The best plan is to already have a shovel.

It's not a high cap. 30 is standard capacity. Short of a chain auto weapon, a standard capacity mag is whatever you can physically carry with it in the gun.

Fuck Ca and the 10 round bullshit.

I actually bought some with the intention of selling them at a profit.

Or to buy one when last winter ended for deep discounts

I legit needed the Glock 23 mags. I bought 32 since I have plans to eventually buy the .357sig barrel. Figured I might as well get them in 13rounds while I still can in CT.

Also needed extra Hi Power mags for the one I am picking up today from AIM.

I saw the BX-25's and was like - shit I don't even own a 10/22 but something tells me I should order 2, while I still can. The fact they were on sale made it even easier.

You panic bought mags for a gun you don't own and you want to know who the bastard is that's buying them up?... Do you have a mirror?

CDNN Investments usually has mags in stock at good prices.
Thats where I have been buying my 15 round MecGar HP mags.

I wanted a few CZ and M&P mags last night, spent some time looking around. CDNN is where I buy a lot of mags but ended up getting them from 44MAG.com, much better prices and shipping was cheaper. The last few times I have wanted mags and went there they were out, I got lucky this time.

I bought a fuck ton of G19 magazines at noon yesterday.  Just have a bad feeling about this one.  And I already have a fuck ton, but felt a "few" more couldn't hurt.

ETA - my only rule about panic buying is to NEVER pay more than retail.  If the item is out of stock at MSRP, or available at an inflated price, I don't buy.

Sorry. Bought the Brownells p-mag deal. Think they will go on backorder? Colorado just turned deep blue so I expect a 10 round ban once the legislature goes back into session.

CDNN has been out of 9mm mags excepting the asian and 33rd glock mags since yesterday evening.

What's a high cap mag? A magazine someone put a tall hat on?

But no, I'm not buying up standard capacity magazines.

I need some mags for a Taurus 101P, but the only place you can get them is from the company at $39 apiece.
I have some Mecgar Browing HP and Para Ord P14 mags I was going to sell, but gonna hold on to them for now to see what happens.
