It says in Websters that lugers feed rounds from "clips"? Interesting, and I don't really mind either way, but long time collectors have always told me; pistols have magazines, rifles feed from clips (ala M1 Garand, Arisaka, Enfield, etc).

You use a clip to load some pistols, i.e. Mannlichers, Broomhandles, etc., but generally you use magazines.
