Do you label your mags?

[No.343]

I label my competition mags with different color stickers. I can go through a stage and quickly see the color to identify that magazine even while running a stage.

My 2011 mags are numbered. Some will hold differing amounts of ammo and may or may not be reloadable during a stage, helps me keep em straight.

I number mine with a yellow paint marker. If #3 or whatever messes up, I know that I need to fix it or put it in the plinking pile.

I number mine with a silver sharpie
It helps to know which magazine was in use, in case of a malfunction

Same here.

it also helps me keep track of which mags are mine when I'm at the range with friends. We own some of the same guns so keeping magazines straight is important.

Rarely. Only if some work better than others...

I use a white out pen.

Initials on the side of the mag, numbers on the base plate. Carry mags have a "C" on the base plate as well as a number.

I like having my initials on there especially when in classes where alot of people are shooting the same type of gun.

When I got my new XD(m), I colored the engravings on the slide with a white crayon, following the procedure I had seen described on the XD Talk forum. I loved the look of it, and while I had the crayons out, I did my magazines, one red, the other blue, so that if one malfunctioned, I could note which it was. Turned out pretty well, if I do say so myself:

I mark mine with a silver sharpie personally, but I've seen the orange baseplates at classes 'n such.

Why is that? Is it to help identify hot weapons?

I stamp a number in the metal base plate of my 7 rd 1911 magazines.
Lets me keep track of potential problem children and could help ID one of my mags at a match if it ever came to that.

I number each magazine that I own. I use model paint or nail polish. This way I can track malfunctions and fix or discard a magazine that is prone to failure. If it is not good enough to trust your life to it then destroy the magazine..........period. Train with what you carry so that you know it works.
