Magazine management?

[Lebowski]

How does everyone here manage their various magazines for all their different pistols and rifles? I don't really have room in my safe to store a slew of magazines and currently just toss them in a drawer that I have to shuffle through when I do go to the range and I'm looking for specific items.

Any products available for managing magazines?

Midway usa has some nice mag pouches.

I bought some cheap Rural King plastic ammo cans for like $4 each.......I just keep all my Mags in those and label them with a sharpie. Each can will hold 10 AR mags or a buttload of 9mm mags. Cans are stacked on top of my safe and next to it on the floor.

Stackable maybe even clear plastic cans would seem to be the way the go.

Good ideas. I like the stackable ammo can idea the best so far.

I have a Biotek case that keeps all of my magazines high and dry.

What I've been doing is using the wall space in my safe. I place all my loaded mags in appropriate mag pouches and hook them on the inside walls with some heavy duty magnetic hooks that I got off of Ebay. Magnets are strong enough that it can hold a fully loaded 6 30 round AR mags in a 3 cell mag pouch. I only store my loaded mags this way. I even have the magnetic hooks on the exterior of the safe to hold my soft zipper style pistol pouches/case.
Now for unloaded/new mags I store them in those cheap/transparent shoe box sized plastic containers that you can get at Walmart and just put them on the shelf in my closet.

Mounted one of these on the door to manage some of my mags.

Put 2 inch wide self-adhesive magnetic tape on the back wall of the safe for more pistol mag storage. Got it at the hardware store. Just line the mags up in a row by type.

Use ammo cans for the AR and AK Mags.

On the way to the range I use ammo cans, and keep each mag with its ammo. At home I dump all the mags into an ammo can and store that in the safe.

I have one of the big plastic foam lined Plano pistol cases that hold 8 pistols. I cut slots in the foam and store the mags vertically in the case.

I store loaded mags in ammo cans with the lose ammo it's for. The only ammo I use is 9mm and 5.56/.223 For my 5.56/.223 ammo I put 6 loaded 30rd AR mags in each ammo can and the rest is lose ammo at the bottom. For the 9mm it's 10 loaded G17rd or G33rd mags with the rest of the ammo at the bottom.

Food storage containers. Like the kind you use for left-overs.

I bought a hanging show organizer with pockets for the shoes. I store all my mags in that.

Divide them into categories:

Cat I: range mags, most frequently used. Kept in brown tub that had a case of South African 5.56.

Cat II: training mags. Used in gun schools. Numbered, marked with my name in Chinese characters for ready ID in class. Kept in rubbermaid container.

Cat III: reserve mags for various platforms, Glocks, 1911s, G3s, FAL, AKs, ARs. Kept in medium sized (they get heavy if you get too many in them) containers.

Ensure that you get the kind that lock the lid. Storage Boxes | Rubbermaid

use old shoe boxes or something else cheap and available if its only for storage

Is it really your name in Chinese? Or is it what someone said was your name, and is really "dumb wide eye".
