i would like to know if those quick draw gun magnet or any other brand gun magnet are any good? any negatives to them?

Not being a dick but what is a quick draw gun magnet? The magnet you can put on your belt to slap the magazines onto?

I'm under the impression that magnets won't attract stainless steel.

Depends on the alloy.

Ah. My limited metallurgical knowledge becomes apparent.

Nice! I want one!

Hey 10 lbs!!! i can secure my AR rifle under my desk...hehe.

 

I like the idea of these for stores and retail shops, keep the firearm out of sight in an easy access location. I would be weary of this messing up your finish tho.

i saw a different one ebay and its supposed to be rubber coated, a little bigger and stronger i think. i feel like getting a few of them, one for the bedroom, livingroom, kitchen and dont forget the shitter! haha!

I have two of them. They're solid quality, and really do hold all of ten lbs. No complaints here.

i have one also secured to my head board holding my 92fs (home defense pistol) to prevent any chance of screwing up the finish i put a sock over it to give me a buffer i love it

I thought you were talking about this mag holders...

As I understand it, the better quality stainless steel won't attract the magnets. I understand that this has to do with the alloys, but I am also not an expert on metals. I have however been taught that high quality stainless steel will not attract magnets.

Yes, what I was thinking. Looks interesting, but what exactly is the point of these?

i just picked up 3 of these from ebay, pretty cheap price too around 30.00 for all 3! but its different from the one in the youtube video above. the one i have has 3 magnets over its front side. it is rubber coated will not scratch finish and it is rated to hold 40lbs! i dont know about that but she holds my h&r pardner pump 12 gauge loaded with no problem.. what is also nice is that since it has 3 magnets horizontally placed and it is rubber coated it holds your gun firmly in one place and direction, were the one thats a circle and hard plastic looks like there is a possiblility of it to spin the gun, im not sure though. works great with my other handguns, but revolvers you have to play with it a little because of the wheel but it does work. i havent tried it with my saiga 7.62x39 rifle yet, but im pretty sure it should work. if im not allowed to put this link ill remove it, just let me know...cheers!

Umm jack?? your AR receiver is Aluminum....

quick update, make sure when install this you use extra long screws and make sure your screws go directly into a stud in the wall. i was praticing drills with my 12gauge and i yanked the whole dang thing out the wall! thats a dam strong magnet!

This is correct and I'm not a metallurgist either. The only firearm I have ever seen made from non-magnetic stainless is an early (1965-66) S&W Model 60. Somewhere, early in the production run, S&W changed to a magnetic stainless. The non-magnetic stuff tended to wear out tools much more quickly than other steels and the change was made to lower production costs. There may be some other guns made from non-magnetic stainless but other than the early 60 don't know of any.

 

The only issue I can see with these gun magnets is:

 

1. Your firearm will eventually be magnetized. You can use it to pick up nails then.

 

2. Don't know if magentizing metal alters its strength characteristics.
