I have, for years, been storing all my magazines on a shelf in my safe, as have most others i'm sure. I am frankly getting tired of storing pistol mags in that way because they keep falling over.

So i'm looking into different alternative storage solutions, one of which is magnets. Does anyone have experience storing loaded mags using magnets, are there any side effects such as the mags getting magnetized, or anything else?

I use a magnet tool holder that I got at Home Depot to store all my metal magazines on the door of my gun cabinet. Loaded or not, it holds the magazines perfectly. I have noticed no ill effects on the mags at all.

go to Wal-Mart and get a cheap canvas shoe holder put it on your safe door   

Plastic Sterilite box from Home Depot.

1 Box for mags, another for holsters and magazine carriers - just dump them all in.

No way I'd waste valuable space in the safe for mags.

Why does that matter? Do they have access to the handguns too? Why can't they go in a plastic case like mentioned above on the top shelf of a closet?

Because i don't want my kids, or their friends, to have access to the ammo unless they are with me at the range.

yea.. just what you need... sticky munchkin fingers making off with a loaded mag, and taking it to school.  bonus points for it being evil cop killer hollow points.

Cop Killerzz?  Reminds me of a MOVIE, lol!

yrs ago when I was working 8 days aweek i used them Cop Killers to get out of jury duty. They asked me if i new what hp bullets were , I said they are used for....Dismissed!

I found these on amazon. They are stackable and lockable. I cut some of the foam out of one and i can carry 5 mags and 250 boxed rounds with me to the range. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019LIO71O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_VYKmBbV0C4B02
