This video explores the rarity of double-feed pistol magazines despite their loading ease. Ian McCollum explains that while double-feed offers advantages like simpler loading and slightly higher capacity, single-feed designs are preferred in handguns for their simpler geometry, which aids reliability with the feed ramp, extractor, and ejector. Double-feed designs require wider slides, making pistols bulkier and less suitable for concealed carry.
