Is this an "assault clip"

[dhuze]

I saw this 1911 magazine in a gun shop. It's a 50 round magazine. It looked like it was made very well. I even considered buying just for a novelty. I just didn't want to spend $89 on it.

If anything, you could use it as a monopod to steady your shots...

Extended magazines like the one pictured aren't usually too reliable. It's a good thing you didn't spend your hard earned money.

Sure is... you can use it to assault someone by beating them over the head with it when you get an FTF.

Hi-point for $179? Cheap!

I have a berretta 92fs mag that holds 35ish rounds. I dont know how many it holds, it always seems to have a different amount of capacity depending on the day.

Sometimes its 30, others its 35 and others in between. It doesnt feed super well when you cram in more then 32 rounds though.

Drum mags are often very problematic. There's only a few designs I've seen that seem ok, but they're often much more expensive than the $90 for the one you're talking about.

 

[Spdfreak91]

the drum is a different mag the 1911 mag is at the bottom and its real long.

 

[Sir_Macadoo]

I doubt the spring and follower are any good.

Aha! I see it. Interesting range toy. I bet that last round is a pain to seat.

 

[houdini]

do not wat your time buing that mag, because you can't conceal it.

It makes your handgun into a cane

 

[Standby]

Line up some bowling pins. It will be like using a fire hose.

Bwaa haaa haaa
+1 for the chuckle

 

[reveille]

Maybe you can use it on the kriss rifle. Im sure it wont fit that tho.

...It's a 50 round magazine...

I have one of these, but I can never seem to squeeze the 50th round in...

 

[Bob P]

It's an Assault Walking Stick

 

[neEEGuru]

excellent.

Wonder what that weighs fully loaded with 230gr.

Maybe it's 49 + 1.

Hmmm....

Three pounds?

 

[Prepper]

How would you holster it?

Do they make an Uplula speed loader for it? That might help with the 50th round. And don't forget the +1 round that can also be in the chamber.... that extra round could make all the difference in a gun battle that you would have lost with only 50.

Yeah, they call it a speed loader, but it still takes a while...

True.

I know it's a cliche, but, if you can't get the job done in 49 rounds, you're not training enough.

No, it is an extended magazine. As a general rule, if it has a spring, it is a magazine and not a "clip".

Assault is an action, what you have depicted here is an object.

Tell that to the Brady campaign.

That could be a bit tough to conceal.....

LOL!, I was just going to say the same thing!

 

[Sniper977]

I doubt the spring and follower are any good.

And, nevermind trying to find someone who sells replacement springs for that thing....Wolff maybe but its probably a custom order = expensive. Just buy a bunch of McCormick 10-rounders and practice your mag changes.

Wicked stupid

 

[Coastie2010]

Seen these once or twice before. They are a First World War design, intended for trench warfare. Beat the hell out of a Springfield in close, when shotguns weren't available.
