Hi,

I want to add that the original name in Germany was 'laderahmen', as they were used to stripper clips (ladestreifen), but not to magazines. They switched to the term 'magazin' rather quickly.

Over here we tend to call it a 'magazijn' or still popular in the military and police world: 'patroonhouder' ('cartridge holder').

Leaving an empty magazine in a luger will allow it to push against the holdopen spring, but I doubt it will have much effect in the long run.

Personally I don't like to see magazines in unused and unloaded guns, but that has more to do with firearms safety in a shooting environment and not with a collecting environment.
