That’s a pretty good article. I like the last part, about increasing your self awareness,
Agreed, good article. It does seem that mags are still relatively available for those fortunate enough to live in free(er) America. I doubt that will be the same in a month.
I was mildly shocked to see Gen3 PMAGs at Palmetto for $12.30 and Glock OEM mags for standard prices.

I didn't check, @LittleLebowski, since I have sufficient mags for my purposes...but I wouldn't be surprised if the run is on lower capacity mags. I know that the last two orders I made for AR mags were 10's and 20's respectively.
I've always tried to keep a healthy number of OEM Glock mags on hand for all my double stack 9mm pistols.
I'm surprised that the price of mags has not skyrocketed.
Number 7 is my favorite. Everyone thinks that reloading will magically fix the problem until they try to find primers or powder. Have you looked at the price of them on gunbroker?
CCI small pistol. Price as of this post $1082 for 5000. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/889162361
Alliant Unique one pound $85. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/888818785
We could isolate Russia totally from the world and maybe they could apply for membership after 2000 years.
Question becomes how many Glock mags are enough? For those of you who have been at this longer than I have (pretty much everybody here), have you actually worn them out?
The best (read: Snarkiest ) answer I've heard is "too many to count".
Hypothetically, if you shoot USPSA, you might want up to 5 for use in matches, maybe with special basepads. You might also want some relatively low-use ones, maybe three, in the original box, "in case" you want to unload the gun. And then maybe some for range use, if you hate to load mags at the range.
For a strictly carry gun, you might want a couple carry mags (one in the gun, one reload), a "Barney" mag that you use to load up. and whatever "extras" you might want for range visits, so you aren't loading and unloading carry ammo in the primary mags.
I find Glock mags are pretty robust. Hell, you need a Jaws of Life just to take one apart. I've never worn one out.
