Handgun magazines - they're hard to find now!

I just backordered some SR40 15 round magazines from Brownells (expected early Feb) and I'm looking for some 12 round M&P9c magazines and can't find those. One place expected a minimum of 90 days backorder. Things are going crazy for any magazine over 10 rounds :totap: .

Yup. I'm having a hard time finding Glock 17/19 magazines. Those I just might have to wait out unfortunately. At least I'm well stocked in AR mags.

I ordered mags directly from Ruger for SR9c and SR40c. I ordered them the week before Christmas and they were listed in-stock. It took Ruger until Jan 1st to even start processing my order. Didn't get them until last week. I'm sure any resellers are even further backlogged.

I wanted to get two magazines for my Taurus 709 and they are nowhere to be found... a few listed on eBay, check this one going for $61 at the moment:

Taurus 709 magazine on eBay

That's outrageous :shock: those were going for $32 a month ago.

I did not foresee this mess coming, but I was stocking up on mags over the summer and early fall. I should be okay until all this blows over. Hopefully, nothing too sickening will get passed.

yeah... I'm well stocked on Glock mags, but if a registration scheme is implemented (a la NFA $200 tax per item) I'll be broke!

I had made some orders on botach a month ago for some glock mags and I got an email that they finally shipped today.

I, for once, was ahead of the rush. I picked up 20 windowed Pmags from Brownells the Sunday after Newtown and 5 Glock 17 mags from GT Distributors a few days later.

It doesn't make for for the GE M134 that I passed up for $10K in the early 1980s, but I'll take the small victories where I can get them. :woohoo

Did the same last week for some 92fs mags and they shipped last night. Couldn't find them anywhere else in stock and for 21 bucks a piece(free shipping) hard to beat that.

Thanks for mentioning that, I had not ordered from them before but I just ordered some 92FS mags from them also. :cheers2:

It's kinda funny, I used to look at my inventory and think to myself...you gotta quit buying so much stuff. Now, I look like a genius.
