jon,

IF you can get 100% reliability from $20 mags, good for you. I have a couple dozen .45 mags on establishment. Some feed JHP loads 100%, but not SWC cast bullets. Others prefer my 200 grain cast SWC bullet 100% of the time. I mark them on the base plate: "JHP" or "SWC" and never the twain are mixed!

100% reliabilty is more important that price, IMO.

Adam

I figure I only need one carry magazine of quality, that one will be of Kimber or Colt quality.

But I want some cheap spares for the range. I lose mags like a big dog. Like a doofus I tend to leave them on the bench when I leave the range.

In Germany I always forgot my 9mm mags, or my mags for my rimfires, the range master knew it was the dumb American, here they would be 'free mags' for someone.
