Magazine, please.

A clip is used to hold money or hair.

tac

They can be used for holding rounds as well, as in most early 20th. century bolt action rifles were fed from "stripper clips". I agree that it is incorrect when referring to a firearm feeding devise which incorporates its own spring and follower, which would correctly be called a magazine.

I doubt there is anyone who knows more about either clips or magzines than Tac.

Magazine
 

Gentlemen:

A magazine either stores powder or is something you read.

When referring to this device for a Luger, the proper DWM terminology, in the English language, is "Cartridge Holder".

Respectfully submitted

Definition as listed in "The World English Dictionary."

"Magazine;

Arms bullet or cartridge holder: a detachable container for cartridges or bullets that can be quickly inserted or removed from a gun."

tac is correct...

A clip merely holds ammo together until inserted into the firearm. A magazine contains and feeds the ammo as a unit.

A clip is removed after ammo has been inserted into the firearm.

A magazine remains in the firearm to hold and feed the ammo.

An enbloc clip remains in the firearm and is ejected after the last round is fired.(M1 Garand)

Blah, blah, you guys get too involved in this discussion. In the 1920's etc, folks called pistol magazines "clips" or magazines.

Who cares and why do y'all get all unbent about it? ;)

Clip or magazine, do you know what the poor bloke is asking?

Now, when my wife went into a general dept store looking for a toy for her neices in England, she asked if they had any stuffed animals....

Tac will immediatly get this, but to Americans, a stuffed animal is a toy, in England, a "stuffed" animal is a taxidermied animal. The lady behind the counter got all wide eyed and said, "maam, we DO NOT have those here"!

The younger lady behind the counter understood and started to laugh and Terry realized that the correct terminology was "plush toy".

"Seperated by only a common language" and that is whether here in Amerika or the UK.

Gun owning aside, I miss England and have a huge desire to make it over to see Scotland again :)


Besides, a "gun" shoots projectiles as large as 155 or even larger on a ship, while a rifle, pistol or revolver shoots the rounds we are usually used to. And then it is not rounds, nor 'bullets, but cartridges, unless you are talking shotguns, then its shells.

Ed Thanks, way too much nitpicking and taking over a posters thread with nonsense. David

The American language has been ursurped on many an occasion, especially in the last 40years with popular culture and music playing a large role.

I do not normally use the word clip when I mean magazine..many others, even fellow shooters and those in the gun culture do. I accept it, translate it to mean magazine and go about my business.
Wayne, Patrice is correct, Gerald Tomek in Phoenix AZ is the man you need. Not only does he make a beautifull wooden mag bottom you cannot tell from an original but he has a 9MM stamp for the bottom he will put on.
I might also add that he is very reasonable on his prices.

Does anyone have contact info for Mr. Tomek?

tnx
