    On the real two way shooting range, the gang doesnt just stand there and let you tap 'em with 12 rounds apiece, well placed or otherwise. In such situations you can fire a lot of ammo. Google Sherman Street Shootout.

    Univibe,
    The Sherman and 71st area looks economically challenged. It could have been an invasion at a dealers house.

    If I really thought 60 rounds are needed on my AR, I’d view it as a flag to move to a better place.

    If moving isn’t an option I’d skip the mag coupler and get the D60 for your truck gun

    Luckily I live in a decent area because all I have is the van and garden tools to fight off a car jacking

    I must ask if these were early Gen 3 Pmags or newer Gen 3 Pmags? Because the newer Gen 3 Pmags have two anti transposition tabs that are supposed to prevent the first/top round from nosing up and crossing over.

    I didn't realize you were a veteran of multiple street wars. Good work on Sherman Street. *thumbs up*

    Is this a real discussion? Debating the merits of a mag coupler to deal with roving street gangs preying on disabled motorists caught in the open while changing a tire? Is this a real "two way shooting range" discussion?

    Multiple msm sources report Dayton shooter was on all sorts of drugs and officers put him down with 24 rounds. He tried to get back up twice.

    Determined attackers, on drugs, can be a lot to handle. Plan and prepare accordingly.. or just rock your 1911 and hope for the best.

    This thread has strayed far from the topic which is mags coming out of a secondary mag. Solutions have been posted. Think we are good here.

    So if 24 rifle rounds didn't stop him, what do you expect to do with a handgun?

    Gonna EDC a 9mm Glock with a 33-rounder in it? Cuz you're still not near parity in wounding potential.

    Never mind that those 24 rounds are rounds that hit the PODS anywhere - likely to include grazes. The real interesting thing(s) will be how many of those 24 rounds hit anything important and how many of them were redundant (three bullets through the heart won't get you anything after the first bullet had turned the heart into hamburger).

    It's apples and oranges, anyway, since your rifle is still going to be sitting in the trunk by the time the 32-some seconds have elapsed from when the shooting started to when the turd was put down.

    Use okay mags?
    I keep the cover on loaded pmags- cant say if its needed or not.
    If i wanted a loaded-long-term mag without a cover, it would be okay, nhtms or whatever, or d&h.
    Pmag has a 40rd mag as well. Pick whichever option fells good, but all will work fine IME.
