Last one did well, so let’s try again.
You know the drill: ask questions, maybe get serious answers.

Let’s make this a weekly thing. Nice break from the shit posting.
How many mags do you autists buy for your rifles / PCCs? My gun store has a sale and I mag try to stock up on P mags
Many as you can. They will not get cheaper.
Minimum 5 per build
5 per build per finger, c'mon
I shoot for 10-20+ per type. I don't add mags for yet another 5.56 build.
Get at least a dozen then prioritize a 3D printer.
10 makes sense but why more than that? That’s more than you can carry I’d guess
I have 28 loaded PMAGs in a 50 cal ammo can. It’s easy to throw in the car and then I don’t have to reload on range day
Consumables and learned from the 90's that they can go away. So you need to not only plan on what you can carry today, but what you may need for 20 years from now.
I've purchased 6 PPS Classic magazines every year for the last decade. Why? I knew eventually it would go out of production and 20 years from now I don't want to be my friend that carries a P7 and pays over $100 for a used magazine when he can even find them. Now if I have a mag shit the bed, I've got another 50 or so still in packaging. And I did have that happen this year. I came across my first mag that had feeding issues in multiple guns.
I've purchased 10 P99/PPQM1/SW99/MR9 mags every year for almost the last 20 years for the same reason.
Just in the last month I've purchased an additional 12 Okay Surefeeds and 12 steel Duramags plus picked up my standard two P-Mags per week at my LGS.
Magazines are a consumable. Train with them and you'll occasionally break one or wear one out.
25 per gun. Magazines are consumable items and should be treated as such so you need enough on hand plus what you might need for the future. Now this may become less of a concern with 3D printing in the near future though.
I honestly don't know how many AR mags I have. There's a 35 gallon tote in my basement full of AR mags: P-Mags,
GeisselleD&H Mags, Duramags, and Okay mags are what you want.Big tex always has a good price on mags. Just picked up five pack of glock 17 pmags for $57 or so.
