What do you do with your magazines?

[Mickey D]

I really like the VHS case idea.
I just write on the mag with a white grease pencil what it's for. I don't have so many as to need to box them up.

I keep my magazines with the pistol they are meant for. I have 4 M1911 platforms, each has its dedicated magazines in its case/pistol rug.

I've suddenly reached the stage where I have so many semi auto pistols that it's hard to keep track of all the magazines! How do you keep track of and store your mags? My safe has Velcro on the door, and I'm considering using some sort of bags with labels on them, but if someone has better ideas, I'd love to hear them!

I just put all mine with what they go with so I know what all I have, and where they are.

I read them and then mail a whole bunch of them to my nephew that is a crew chief for the F18 Super Hornet on a carrier somewhere.
Says he really like getting them....

I'm also trying to get a handle on my mags. I've got them spread out everywhere.

I need more storage solutions. Not fond of the VHS solution though that is a good idea.

I don't have that many. I have five for my Shield and they all fit in the range bag along with five mags for the compact .22 which also fits in the same range bag. I keep my dozen or so .45 mags in a old army tool bag and the four 9mm Ruger mags go in the range bag as well; an extra fits in the holster for the Ruger.

My SW22 has five mags all which fit in the SW22 range bag.

but I am going to remember the VHS case idea.

I've got a fish net kind of thing that hangs on the inside of my safe door that holds my pistol mags, but the pistol mags aren't the issue as I only have a few per gun. The AR mags are a different story, I keep those in ammo boxes.
If I have to use more than three pistol mags to resolve a problem I'm already reaching for the AR.

I put it in a secured storage area and label it accordingly.

one gallon food storage bags. Write on them with marker.

Good luck

As i'm still 'newer' to the hobby and my collection is not large, the safe has a few mixed 9's and .22's so not too bad for myself to keep track of.
But when the wife mentioned one day she wasn't real sure what to use or pack even if were just making a range trip (she only accompanies me occasionally) or if something came up that she needed to get in there. So i thought i should come up with something to help her out if nothing else.
One shelf i had my handguns divided up in an organizer, and on the shelf above I then added little plastic trays (maybe 2"x8" or so) holding the mags for each.
The gun organizer has labels underneath each so she knows its the Shield, Full Size MP, Buckmark, and so on.
Said mag trays are labeled to match.

Seems to help her out and it does keep them separated/organized. Of course it may work well for me and my collection, i know others with many more handguns that it would not.

For guns that have a good many mags, I bought a small set of plastic storage drawers at the office supply place. Used furring strips to make dividers and labeled them.
Then there are quite a few that only have one or two extra mags. (I believe that 3 mags total is plenty for guns not usually carried). Most of these guns are kept in Bore Stores rugs. For these I just put the extra mags in a plastic bag to prevent scratching and stick 'em in with the gun.
