Anyone have an opinon as to nine round mags that most single stack 9mm and 38 supers being more of a dissadvantage or an advantage over ten round mags? Having one less round would seem to be a...

Kevin,I think it depends. If the shooter doesn't need to make up shots, and the stages he/she shoots are usually 2, 2, 2, 2, 2. Then it seems like a reload advantage to run 9 round mags.I think there...

I think it all depends upon the person designing the stage. I have a hard time keeping the stages I try to design wheel gun friendly. For me so far I haven't been to any matches were I felt the extra...

Interesting question indeed! A guy I go to a lot of the matches with is absolutely convinced 9 round mags are the way to go. He shoots a 9mm 1911 with 9 round mags. If you think about it, there are an...

IF you have CoFs that are even # of rounds the 9 round mags will be faster! IF you have a stage that has a 11 round CoF the 10 rounders are better!Larry P

I have a few single stack 1911's in 9mm and 38 super. Not one of the "10" round mags advertised can actually hold 10 rounds!! 9 is the limit no matter what the package says!!Wilsons, Metalform,...

In explaination, I was cleaning some of my mags and noticed that the extension they use to make the seven round SIG .45 mags into eight rounders would also fit the 38 super mag. A little red neck...

Kevin,MOST (95%) of the time I would RATHER shoot the 9+1.5% of the time it will cost you a reload! 1.5 seconds added to your time automatically! BUT if the other stages are not 11 rounds you may be...

The only thing is that I do better with eight round mags in CDP but that's probably due to that little habit I have of occasionally hosing the targets. Kevinwww.brcv-gun.org

I've shot both and think the 9 round has some merits over the 10's in that "evening out" of the target engagement.Ted

How about figuring out which magazines work the best in your gun and then using them? That would be the practical thing to do I think. It's very important if you actually carry that gun you're...

Which ones would you carry if both work? The ones with the most bullets, right? Whatever your conscience will allow, whoops scratch that, this is competition. I think it's very easy to put too much...

I like my 9round mags. I don't believe I've ever had any or used any 10rounders, at least not in the Springfield. A good friend advised me that the 9rounders are more reliable, so that's what I've...
