It's advised to buy magazines even without owning the specific firearm, as they can be valuable for future purchases or trades. The speaker strongly recommends prioritizing genuine manufacturer magazines (like Glock) over aftermarket options for better reliability and function.

How did gun show prices compare to online prices in 2013?
