This is what I am eyeing. I'm looking to get some G19 mags and some 20 rd AR-10 mags. I don't own either and with money going to other than gun stuff at the moment I'll grab mags for when I can afford the guns in the future.

The reason I want a G17 is because of salient arms. I'm a big Sig guy but I have a G26 and ive never had issues with it. The 2 sigs ive had have both come with either promag, or checkmate mags and have both failed me.

I have a similar dilemma. I would like to buy a G19, but the funds are a little lacking right now. After this crap goes into affect, will you only be able to buy a G19 with 10 round mags? Since G19 mags are easily converted to hold more than 15 rounds, I imagine they would be banned. Thoughts?

Do I ignore my wife's wrath and go ahead and get the 19 now???

Short answer - YES. I don't know what Universal Background Checks are going to purport in their final glory, but it is far better to pick up your "evil guns" now, deal with the debt, deal with the discord, and have them for later on. PM me if you decide to buy it - I'll mail you a 15rd KCI mag for it for free. You'll just have to send a photo with you holding the G19, to prove you actually bought the lil devil. :-)

Buy mags Now the gun will be avaioable after the laws tacke effect. I "Think" with the UBC shit most former FTF sale prices will level off to LGS retail. Why pay more than retail for aused when you can buy new? MAGAZINES, MAGAZINES, MAGAZINES, MAGAZINES

FWIW: the KCI units make great range mags.
