Hit the local gunshow this morning and found another spare magazine for my pistol. Second best part besides finding it was it only cost me $8. It shows more external wear than the others I have but that doesn't matter. Good spring tension so I suspect it will work fine even if I have to make a slight feed lip adjustment.
It's the one laying on top towards the camera.
Maybe find 1 or 2 more and I'll be comfortable with that.
6 to 10 for any "duty handgun" but lately I'll accept 4 to 6 for stuff I expect I'll not carry so much. Glunk Mags? Dozens, and that's just 9mm. I prolly have a dozen in 10mm or more.
An occasional shooter like this, I kinda like the idea of having enough magazines (6) to shoot a full box of ammo, or close to it. So 6x8 rounds gets me pretty close.
I have 2 huge boxes of ARAK mags, I too would need to separate and count. But the resultant numerological tally could enable a red flag against my crazy a$$ so I will not go to that extreme measure 😹 😹
There is definitely a difference between the "name brand" Korean and the "Military contract (aka cdnn)" ones. RGW (forget exact initials) are horrid mags, never work... KCI, I have and they work just fine, I really like KCI mags - even for Glock. One thing I will say - for the Glock, replace the spring rest of it is GTG. The KCI AK mags have always fed.
I have a couple military contract AR and AK mags, they work ok, IMG, SKM brands too. Good enough for the range but not sure if I would trust them otherwise.
Thanks! Since buying one of these older pistols and finding out HiPoint doesn't make magazines for them anymore, it pays to keep on the lookout for spares. I realize it's not an expensive gun but it is fun to play with .
Probably fairly easy to modify 1911 mags or modern HiPoint mags to work. I doubt they changed the grip angle or the feed lips significantly. Glad you're keeping the teenaged girl running, an orphan before her time.
