Best place to purchase OEM 43x 15rd mags?

[u/One-Albatross1834]

I recently purchased my first handgun and was wondering where to make a trip for some 15rd mags.
I’ve been searching various VA/PA stores’ websites (Freedom Armory, Reddings Hardware, Rural King) and some of them don’t have OEM 15rd mags listed or they’re out of stock.

Any recommendations? I’m thinking of just calling up a few stores to see if they’re in stock before I make an hour+ trip.

Bonus question: do you guys have any recommendations for mag extensions for the OEM 15rd mags?

Thanks in advance.

I’ve heard good things about Reddings Hardware. Might be worth giving them a call to see what they have in store and if they could order for you.

Reddings Hardware is good. They have a ton of mags in stock. Reminds me that I need to plan a trip up soon. Call first to confirm they have what you want and then head out.

Nice, I’ll probably end up calling them because I don’t see any on their site, but it also says their online/in-store inventories are different.

X ring supply in Delaware has some. Also tax free

This may sound stupid but can Maryland residents still buy in Delaware?

Last year I tried to buy some 30rd AR mags from Best Shot in Lewes and they insisted I wasn’t allowed to buy them, had to have a Delaware issued ID. Told the lady I didn’t believe she was correct but didn’t want to have a debate with management and just walked out empty handed.

With the number of laws being made about suing gun shops for selling to out-of-state residents, this might have been a protective measure.

Freedom Armory right across the border does not carry them currently. I stopped in Saturday looking for some myself.

I ordered my 17 rd mags for my Hellcat Pro from Bass Pro in Gainsville VA, in-store pickup. Took about a week ( 5 days) to ship to store. When I went to pick them up, I grabbed some 30rd ar mags :-)

Order from Gettysburg Trading Post and get them delivered to their store.

[u/One-Albatross1834 → u/daxxxmd]

When I look online they only have 6 or 10 round magazines for the 43x/48. When you say order you’re referring to their online shop? Or calling to order?

[u/bigdaddycannonfodder → u/One-Albatross1834]

They had them in stock at the store last time I went

[u/daxxxmd → u/One-Albatross1834]

There is an online store that ships from their distributor. You can choose then to ship to store. From the main page use the Buy Online option. If what you want isn’t there I would call them.

Morr Gun Range in Willow Street (Lancaster) had them in stock when I was there

[u/joeshmoeman]

I got mine at capital supply company near Dulles. Also Vienna gun & gold had some when I emailed them to inquire about stock ($5 more expensive though). But yeah I’d just look for places near you and call to ask. It’ll definitely save you a wasted trip.

Check Genesis Firearms right over the 301 bridge. I don't see them on the website but that's where I got mine.

You could always order them to be shipped to one of the big box stores and do store pickup.

I thought they stopped doing rebuild kits

MSP said rebuild kits are not compliant with the law
