Right now I have two 3 magazine  GI pouches that have the allice clips. they work ok but I now have more then the 6 magazines and have to reevaluate how I am going to store my magazines.

Really breaks down to preference.

I have a range bag that is always got loaded mags in it.... One for my rifles and one for my pistols.

This one is my pistol bag. Plenty of room for about 40 mags. Or 20 plus holster, belt, eyes and ears.

This is my rifle bag. Have about 20 mags. Both AR and AK. Plus a shotty bandoleer as well. Plus plenty of room for eyes and ears. Carry a knife on the outside and other range necessities.

Then I got a cheap rack from Target. Has 3 shelves. All my weapons have a separate Ammo can. Both .30 and .50 cans. Sitting next to my gun cabinet in my office.

Other ppl like those Pelican Cases. Holds USGI and PMags nice and tight. Plus water proof. Standard cans work for me. Label the hell out of everything.

3rd ways is both my AR and my AK have cases that have a 6 mag pouch build in. So if the range bags are in different spots, the case has extra mags too.

ETA: I also like the SAW mag pouches. They hold 6 mags either USGI or PMag .

I love Armynavydeals.com for free shipping on most. Ebay has bags too for cheap.

Not too long ago there was a multi page thread on storage of loaded mags, but I can't find it now.

Anyway, here's how I store mine.  I keep 10 loaded in a Maxpedition active shooter bag ready to go.



Looks like this one.



It has a belt contained on the back side so when you throw it over your shoulder you can secure it to keep it from flopping around if you have to move quickly.



For ready use, the bag feeds a Bladetech thigh rig with 3 mags.  



I'm just not a fan of vests, personal preference.

I am not looking for vest or tac gear, and not really looking to keep loaded magazines (how ever I do have a loaded 20 round mag ready to go in my safe) so they do not need to be gotten to fast
I am trying to figure out a way to store the 13 + magazines just to keep them out of harms way in my tight for space gun room

Right now I am thinking the ammo can may work  but I don't have much room for it. was hoping for ideas of something more compact.

I keep about 70 loaded mags in a toolbox. About another 40 or so in a box on a cheap shelf system. The other 40 or so AR mags are spread out between range bags, tac gear, and the top of my safe.

I keep mine in M1956 and M1967 ammo pouches from the Vietnam era.

M1967 ammo pouches  are the same style of pouch I have. I am looking for something a little bit better I have a  9 30 round, 3 20 round mags and 1 9 round mag and am thinking about getting some more 20 round P-mags.  the 20 round mags do not work very well in the ammo pouches.
