Magazine Sale at MidwayUSA
MidwayUSA continues to crush my efforts to get rich selling slightly used 3rd Gen magazines by offering 25% off on all in stock semi auto magazines!
A quick look shows various 3rd Gen magazines including 3913 curved and flat baseplate models and CS 9/pre rail 3913TSW magazines.
There are also various magazines for the new S&W water pistol style semi autos, but really who cares?

SSHHH! Dammit.
Well, that's okay, I guess. I already ordered 3 mags for my 3913 & 3913TSW, 1 for my CS9 and 1 for my CS45.
FWIW, when I checked with the LE contact at S&W customer service this week, I was told that 3913 mags are presently out-of-stock. Guess they ship them to their vendors as fast as they get them.

See? You should have sold them all to me before the sale started.
Too bad for us in the loony moonbat states that Midway's 5900-series OEM magazines are all post-ban hi-caps. For whatever odd reason, they aren't offering OEM 10-rounders.
And, of course, they aren't selling any 6900-series OEM magazines at all.
Funny how certain 3rd Gen OEM magazines are available and others not. Sometimes I wonder about the logic behind it all.

Too Many Mags
I wish Midway would stop this, I already had more magazines than I need or will ever use for my 3913TSW, but every time I look at their ad, which is almost every day, I think of another reason why I need some more mags, going broke on mag purchases and cutting in to my daily espresso funds.

I was pleased to see that mags for my 539 were only 26 bucks each. I ordered 2.

I'm in the same boat. If I remember to call S&W CS tomorrow and if they have any of the wedge shaped butt plates, I'll probably order a couple more magazines against the day I find either another 3913TSW (no rail) or a 3953TSW (no rail).
It just never ends, does it?

They're at it again. 3rd Gen and other S&W magazines on sale at Midway. No compact 45 mags, but CS9 39xx (regular and compact), 59xx, and so on.

I had to resist the urge to buy a CS9 magazine. I have plenty, but I saw "sale" and was instinctively going to click.
Then again, I have a pre rail 3913TSW and 3953TSW, so maybe...

Fortunately for me I have a ten magazine personal limit for each of my handguns and have reached that limit on everything but a couple of my HK handguns. Those magazines are about $45 each and even 25% off won't entice me to spend money right now.

Dang...
All you guys are making me feel like I'm falling farther and farther behind in the 3rd Gen mag acquisition race.
Have a little mercy here.

I am always pleased to see these sales. I have bought numerous magazines for my CS 45 from them. All factory, and all brand new.

The problem is that the " How many is enough?" number keeps growing as we see more and more people getting desperate for discontinued and/or hard-to-find 3rd Gen OEM magazines. The problem is manifesting itself in the form of folks wanting to buy up the few remaining 3rd Gen magazines that are still available brand new before they disappear too... especially when they go on sale for cheap.
I'm not saying that it doesn't make sense but where does it all end?
These days, my magazine budget is going mainly to new guns (non-S&W) that I've recently acquired and to 3rd Gen 10-rounders out of fear that Commiefornia's nonsense could eventually spread eastward. That doesn't leave much money left for other 3rd Gen magazines, new or used.

Thanks for posting the sale was back on. I waited too long last time and missed it. I was about to order some used 3913 from Ebay for the same price as these new from Midway.

They have S&W M41 Mags on for $18.19. That is a very good price. If only I needed some it would be the time to buy them now.

Darn it. It's hard to turn down those 3913 mags with the flat mag base when they're on sale.
I wish they had 6906 mags.

Do these new 3rd party magazines look exactly like the photo below?
