| How are y'all storing yours? I have four different Glocks in three different calibers, 9mm, 40, and 357sig. I have dozens of mags that I am storing in two ammo boxes in the bottom of the safe. They are a pain to get too, and they are all piled together. I saw a grid system insert for ammo boxes on a google search, with the different length mags that does not seem like it would be the best use of space. There has got to be a better way. I would love ideas and pics. |

I get Shoe rack from Sams
These show racks are stackable so you can go up two or three levels high if you want I then get plastic shoe boxes from lowes I then use a label maker and label each shoe box. I can easily get three shoe boxes per shelf. Everything is neat, organized and easy to find quickly. |

Looks like you need a Brother label maker!

I use those, too (pull those "Sterilite" labels off, dude) |

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile I like that, I have now added two spare mags for my HD gun to a shelf in my closet, thanks for the idea. I have a shirt pulled down from the shelf above so you can't see them when you walk in closet.

you might want to distinguish between calibers by some form of paint stripe <a href="http://s825.photobucket.com/user/LesSnyder/media/001_zps1ef2ce0d.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i825.photobucket.com/albums/zz180/LesSnyder/001_zps1ef2ce0d.jpg</a> Yep, got them marked for quick identification. I may color the Glock logo red for defense ammo, and leave plain for FMJ practice ammo.

| If you must/want or desire to run all these different calibers consider lightly spraying the back of the mag in FDE/OD or leave black for differing calibers...as for me its all 9mm, my family has chosen as a group to go 9mm...we have 17 Glocks between us...all can use the 17 mag... |
