Pistol Magazine Buying Guide
When buying a spare pistol mag, make sure it matches the gas system and model of your sidearm. CO2 mags offer stronger power but can wear seals faster, while green gas mags are more maintenance-friendly. AEP (electric) pistol mags are battery-powered and usually have higher capacities.
Also, consider picking up a speed loader for quicker reloads during intense matches.
Pistol Mag Care Tips
Caring for your mags is key to reliability:
-
Keep seals and O-rings oiled with silicone spray.
-
Empty gas mags after use to avoid pressure damage.
-
Don’t drop them – valve damage can occur easily.
-
Store them dry and upright for long-term care.
Proper mag maintenance keeps your sidearm ready when you need it most.
Pistol Mag vs. Rifle Mag – Key Differences
Pistol mags are typically lower in capacity (10–30 rounds) and compact, designed for portability and sidearm use. Rifle mags are bulkier, hold more rounds, and can come in mid-cap or high-cap formats. Pistol mags also tend to require more careful gas management due to their smaller size.
