That 1200 round mag might weigh a bit. Good thing one can empty it in one minute.

It has a rate of fire of 1,200 rounds per minute, which is technically impossible given the fact that its high-capacity magazine holds only 33 rounds.

The one has nothing to do with the other. Morons.

Did you mean M&P? Not S&W M&W.

I have the same. Never fired it.

What do you think of the white Canik?

That pistol outshot the Glock in tests.

What are the chances of emptying it without a jam?

On full auto, I would say there is a 0% chance of it not jamming. Though that would make a great demonstration video.

So . . . ummm . . . where does one purchase a 1,200 round mag?

Asking for a friend.

You still have to swap the mags, just not as often.

1200 rounds alone weighs roughly 26 lbs. Should make for an interesting (and expensive) test.

What is it about being fired from a Glock 18 that makes ammo insane?

Are there trained therapists who specialize in whacko ammo?

M&P. Typo. I have yet to fire my Canik. It was on my "to do" list for a long time. Finally acquired just in time to have an ammo shortage. When I get it to the range, I'll be able to do the comparison to Glock.

I just passed on spending $500 for a renewal of the annual couples membership at the range. I renewed last year and a week later, there was no ammo on the shelves. I got TWO range trips for $500. It's a 100 mile round trip to drive there as well. By comparison, I spent $400 a year (20 years ago in San Diego). It was a 20 mile round trip and I was at the firing line 4 or 5 days each week. That was a good value for the money spent. Different times and circumstances. I reloaded 1200 rounds of 38SPL every weekend in San Diego. In Idaho, I just purchased a bucket of 350 9mm for $89 and left the brass. Absent primers, the brass just takes up storage space for no net value.

Who makes a clip that big for a Glock?
