Triple threat of lockdown-riots-election causes guns and ammo to be in short supply with prices, especially ammo prices, through the roof. Reloading components followed suit. However, magazines seem to be in good supply with relatively normal prices. In my limited experience, mags (especially AR, AK and Glock) tend to be bought up along with everything else but that doesnt seem to be the case this time around. Anyone have an explanation? Ive read there were something like 5M new guns owners this year. Are they content with what the factory shipped with the gun? Are existing gun owners content with their stash?
From what I have seen only gun owners that actually use their guns innately know that sticking with just the 1-3 mags that came with the gun is retarded. Those of us that know better, get
cold sweats when we have less than 6 mags for a gun, and even then that is usually only considered " a good place to start". New people don't "make the connection" and they're not going
to buy extra mags unless you upsell them. As someone who has, on and off, worked at shops over the past (decade?) new gun owners only ever seem to buy extra mags if- A- you upsell
them/convince them its a good idea and B- they have extra cash in the budget to do it.
