Must be uncomfortable to carry 2 clips, would be better to carry magazines. Well unless you don't know the difference and meant mags.

Love this. It's a magazine people! Not a damn clip!

FN 509 Midsize. Great Glock 19-size pistol. I'll be ordering the holster for it this week.

I carry a Glock 19 with the NIB-X coated slide and a Glock 42. Once the Glock 43 hits my store I'll be picking one of those up as well.

But it's actually called a mag. It's not based off location, it's based off knowledge. It's just a friendly reminder is all. Join the military and call it a clip lol.

Yep, a mag is a magazine and a clip is a clip!

Has nothing to do with location or what most people think it is.

Maybe this will help:

Forgot the belt fed clips too lol.

 

"Magazine" is French for storehouse or storage place. The "storage places" for cartridges in firearms in general are called "magazines," whether they are detachable—as in the detachable box magazines generally found in automatic pistols—or fixed. The Mauser C96's magazine, for example, is filled by stripping rounds into the magazine from a stripper clip. The Garand's magazine is filled by inserting an "en bloc" (there's that French again, just what it sounds like, "in block form") clip of eight cartridges.

 

Incidentally, "clips" are not "magazines." When we refer to, say, an M16's "30-round clip" what we really mean is "30-round magazine," which is shorthand for "30-round detachable box magazine," the full and correct description.

Ammunition is also stored in magazines, called igloos...but you need to deal with large amounts to hear that term.

 

I noticed the clip/magazine thing a few pages back and just let it go...most don't understand there is a difference.

Really that's what you want to argue about. Such children. It is a generic universal term in conversation.

The thing is that it's really a difference between a clip and magazine. It's not like calling soft drinks either soda or pop depending on where you live. No, clip is not a generic term. It might be to people that aren't all that gun savvy, but someone that actually knows guns knows the difference and uses the right term. What's worse is that you say you know the difference, which you might, but to still call it the wrong term just because some people call it a clip makes me wonder. The only people I've heard or seen call a magazine a clip are people that aren't into guns and just doesn't know the difference thinking it's a "generic" term as you say.

 

Oh and by far nowhere neat being a liberal. All I did was correct you and wasn't arguing with you. You don't see people calling a Chevy a GMC do you just because they're both a GM?

I guess Ruger is making sure even ignorant people can find what they're looking for.

 

I mean I've seen a pic of a Glock at a pawn shop or gun store and it said Glock rimfire revolver so you can't always go by what a tag or package says.

Those people need to work on their marketing verbiage lol. To me, it's all about knowledge of your hobby/interests. I have been taught it's a magazine by my military instructors, by friends who are special operations instructors, and also by swat cops. By no means am I trying to be "higher than thou", it's just me sharing knowledge. If I came across that way man I apologize. The word clip has always sounded either thuggish to me (rappers don't talk about mags, it's all clips [probably why they can't shoot for shit haha]) or uneducated. Then again, I'm also a huge firearms enthusiast, so I try to maintain proper knowledge and training.

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
