How many rounds in a mag?

[Tom Bri]

This AWB coming to an end has got me interested in high cap mags. I seem to recall talk of 30 round Glock mags back in the 80s during the 9mm wars. So my question is, how many rounds can the biggest full cap mags hold, in various calibers?

What can we expect coming out this winter? I sort of like the idea of carrying two mags for 60 rounds! I might even buy a Glock.

You do realize that those ultra high capacity mags extend waaaay past the bottom edge of the magazine well? Such things are nice if you are in a protracted gun fight or competition where the extra length is not going to get in the way, but otherwise they are pretty useless.

Yeah, pretty useless in a carry gun except maybe a spare mag. But nice for extended shooting sessions.

Nice till it's time to actually put the cartridges in them.

Thumb savers a must. Magazine loading tools nice. I want to get a AR in 10mm once the AWB sunsets and I have no idea what capacity the mags will be for it but 40 rounders are not unreasable.
