For 3rd Gens, which is mostly what I buy, I figure the magazines into the equation. If a gun comes with more than 2 magazines and I already have one that uses those same magazine, I plan to sell the excess magazines to defray the cost.
That especially applies to 457 and 7 round 3013 magazines as those are fairly rare. Last year I bought a 1006 magazine in package even though I don't have a 10mm gun. I flipped that on Ebay because I know that they are rare and go for good money.
Magazines are the weak spot in 3rd Gens because other than the 59xx Mec Gars they aren't made anymore. At least not ones I'd use!
The early 40 S&W single stack magazines seem pretty rare, so if I could find some at a good price, I'd likely try to flip them.
