Twenty bucks is not much more than S&W list if memory serves me correctly, so not much of a "gouge". I doubt they will last for long.

$18 is about standard if memory serves me. $20 sounds great.

Thanks. Just ordered, then cancelled a longstanding backorder with Midway (theirs were $18 +shipping).
Nice find!

By gouge, I meant "information". ( navy term). Not as in price gouging.

S&W MSRP is $20.04 for any 15-22 magazine: 25 round, 10 round long or 10 round short.
There is no "gouge".

Not gouge as in a bad price. I meant gouge as in the news/ scoop. ( navy slang)

Yea for ~$30.00 + they can keep there 100+. I guess the gouging is still going on. I'll wait for MidwayUSA backorder.

I was about to indicate that I never got my feet wet while serving so I did not know the nautical term but 44 mag has proved once again in these difficult times that they place the $ over allegiance to the customer. This was their trend throughout 2013.

I haven't thought of that word used in that context in 15 years. I never knew why the Navy used the word gouge for information. It's an odd culture that I miss in a way. Anyway keep the gouge coming.

I had them on BO at Midway. I bought 7 from 44 mag @$19.99. Their $5.00 shipping pretty much offset the sightly higher price. I cancelled my Midway BO. I have mags, you're sitting there without. You snooze, you lose. Enjoy.

I guess I didn't snooze got 15, 25 round mags for less then list with free shipping plus 50 round Black Dog mag. I don't need the 10 round mags as I live in a free state but will buy some just for bench shooting. I won't pay gouger price of 29.99 + shipping. Like I said for $29.99 + they can keep them $19.99 would be a good price but $10.00 increase. $16.99 is a good price for their 25 round mags though, from 44Mag. Capitalism at it's best.
I've had items on BO with Midway before. I don't wait until I have to have it right that minuet. I can wait until the item comes back in stock, it has never bothered me to wait, but I won't pay gouger prices. So I'm not sitting here without, and I didn't snooze to get my other magazines, I just didn't want the short 10 round mags at the time and will wait for them to come back in stock when I decide to get them, or just not get them my choice.
Merry Christmas to all.

44mag has been on the no buy list with CTD for some time now. They each have done the same thing to their customers. And as u can see, they've done it again.
Cheaper to keep ur money and give it to another company who doesnt pull stupid **** like this.

I had 5 on BO with S&W directly since Sept. I cancelled it & got these last week. I saved a few bucks over S&W just FWIW.
Of course that was at the 19.95 price from last week.
