A few days ago, Cabelas had an online-only Sig Sauer magazine sale…$22.49 for each magazine in stock. Since Sig mags tend to be expensive (running around $50 each), I decided to get three to augment what my P220 came with. It came with 2 x 8-round magazines. I bought 1 x 8-round mag and 2 x 10-round magazines. Note that this sale ended yesterday.
They arrived this afternoon and I immediately cracked them open and loaded them with rounds so that they’d break-in. I also marked all five magazines (I numbered them), in case I needed to track mag failures. Of the five, I loaded one with my Hornady JHP 185-grain rounds (which reminds me…I need to find an outdoor range so that I can test the JHP to ensure the gun will shoot them.
I also ordered 2 x 15-round magazines for my Sig Sauer SP2022 9mm that hasn’t arrived yet. This is the gun that people have a difficult time finding mags for, so I wanted to take advantage of the sale…once I saw that they had them in stock, I ordered two. The SP2022 only comes with one magazine, so I probably needed to get extras anyways. I haven’t bought 9mm ammo yet…I’ll buy a box or two of FMJ and a box of JHP in 9mm when I pick up the gun from the FFL. I marked these mags, too.
Hopefully, I’ll be able to go shooting this weekend and try out the new gun and extended P220 mags.
My next project will be to find an online store where I can order ammo in bulk, to cut costs. I buy my ammo from Dicks since they’ve been having holiday sales, but I think I can do better by buying online. I’d check Walmart but I’ve never been able to get someone to help me in the firearms section. :/
