Some habits die hard. Some just....keep growing.

what a noob :snicker:
I’ve never had to label my mags as to which gun they fit. I have numbered them just in case I need to track a malfunction.

Yeah, well that was mostly for the benefit of the three boys, but...yeah. Might have to break out the alcohol to rub that off (No Mick, don't say it)
Most of them won't actually fit into the wrong gun anyway.
Although....I DID have one son actually load a 9mm round into a magazine facing backward once buried beneath other rounds. It actually sort of chambered.
I didn't know you could even get a round in a mag backward, but it did load into the breach but the action would not close (thankfully).
Wasn't all the fun to get it back out though. He got the ole stink-eye from his old man for it.

Likewise, the ones I shoot the most will not insert into anything else. Years ago I would be careful with mags when I had the Ruger P 94(.40) and P 89(9mm) out at the same time. It took a while, but I figured out the mags are completely interchangeable, in caliber and gun. The only difference is the follower. In fact, I only stock P89 mags now for those two. The 9mm follower lets me load one more in .40 vs the .40 follower.
The only other thing I’ve done is for the ARs, I only use polymer mags for the 5.56. I use steel mags for the 6.8. Not that I have a choice, the 6.8spc won’t fit in a 5.56 polymer mag. OAL is too long.
I did have a range date once that put a .41 round into a .45 colt. She gave it to me when it wouldn’t fire. I blamed that on me, I had too many different calibers out on the table for an inexperienced shooter.
