Magazine, please.

A clip is used to hold money or hair.

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.

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".

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)
