I wonder back in 2011 what the prices were? This is the first review listed.
"Great price and service

Factory mags at a great price. Really fast shipping and excellent service from 44mag.com. I recommended this site to my friends."

I'm right there with you. I have bought some stuff from them, but never again.
I was reading on their industry page on arfcom and the industry rep said something about their prices going up from the distributers... Whatever, then why did I just get two s&w mags from midway for $20 a piece?
Also in a thread from December a poster asked why the 100 percent jump in price. The industry rep responds "none of your business"
F them.

I have bought from them pre-frenzy and their prices were very competitive. However, once they sold out of everything, anytime they get stock they put a crazy price on it.
Shame..... I hope folks hold off and after they hold on to them for awhile, they drop the price to a more realistic level. Not that I would ever buy from them again after these shenanigans.

I'm curious if any of you have ever run your own business? I do so maybe I look at this from a different perspective. Think about this. All gun owners, everywhere, are having extreme difficulties in getting their goodies... be it guns, ammo, magazines, etc. We are frustrated because no store has inventory. Well imagine what it must be like for the store owners. They have nothing to sell & can't get restocked. I'd pee in my pants if my business was put thru that.
So when I look at someone like 44 Mag, I'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe they are paying extra to be able to get magazines in. Even if not, I'm sure their sales now are a fraction of normal, so if they need to raise their pricing to make up for this... then so be it. As a consumer, I can accept or decline. But I see no need to hold a grudge in these times.
I don't see how anyone could compare Midway to these folks. Midway is a giant selling absolutely everything under the sun. I'm sure they have lots of items that they still can offer & probably have deeper pockets to weather this storm. 44 Mag seems to be a specialty type shop that happens to specialize in a product that is almost non existent right now.

I just got 2 of the 25 rounders from S&W direct for 48 bucks shipped. The same ones from 44mag would cost 125 bucks......are you kidding me????
Sorry Jim...we aren't talking a little markup here...we are talking an outright gouge and a half. That price is hideous. Based on it being 4 hours later and still having 100+ in stock that a majority of 15-22 owners agree. They are going to price themselves out of business if they are banking on 15-22 magazines keeping them afloat.
I still have 4 of the short 10 rounders on b/o and even when they ship my total order for 6 mags will still be less than 2 of the ones they are selling.

Their recent ammo sales on gunbroker are the same way. Sky high. They don't manufacture anything and are basically just a middle man. Typically what sets these resellers apart is customer service. They are losing potential customers with their short sighted strategy. If they were truly in business to service/help shooters they would be a little more reasonably priced. A slight mark up I can handle. But you have to agree $60 is ridiculous.
Let's not forget that they and many other dealers, stores, shops, etc. had the best past few quarters in overall sales in many years. Yes, inventory is likely hard to come by, but they still benefitted from selling everything they could get their hands on for a while. The well run shops banked cash and planned accordingly when this was happening.
This is impressive....5 hours later and there's still 100+ in stock. Either he got a million of them, or word is starting to get out that supply is becoming available and people are holding off.
Not to mention, people seem to be no longer worried about a federal ban.

Its more along the lines that people know u can buy 6 of the 10rd long mags and convert them to 25rd mags. Basically for the price of 1 of these 25rd mags.
It only makes sense.
What is that, 100% price increase? - AR15.COM

Insane. Still 100+ in stock. I'm sure someone will buy some. But at that price. NOOOO WAYY!!
I ordered these yesterday morning (thanks for the link guys!) to convert them to 25 rounds. I plan on taking the follower over to my local hardware store and finding a nut/bolt combo that will cost me ~$1. You could also use a pencil to pull the follower down.

I put 200 in the cart and it said there only 138 remaining. I thought about buying just one but then I found there's a seven day delay before shipping so I decided to wait for Midway or Browells to stock them and save $40. I can't find ammo so what good would mags do me!
