    I've seen F+ .40 mags for sale but have never seen an actual .40 gun.

    I I bought a bunch of factory mags from CDNN almost 20 years ago when they bought out Interarms' old stock.
    Thanks, I forgot how many they held. I missed the boat on mags. I have 3 factory and 3 promags for mine right now. They all function well, but I just don't trust the promags for carry.

    Personally, I think I'd consider the S&W M69 over the bulldog and just run the specials in it, if he's set on that caliber. You always have the option to use 44mag also then, which is way more common to come by.

    Honestly, the Promags seem to fit better than the factory ones do.

    As much as Promags suck donkey balls, they work great in the Firestar single stacks.

    They seem to work well in mine. I like that they have a pinky extension on them too. I've just been burned by other promag products in the past. Great range mags for me. I'll stick with the factory ones for carry.

    I had one and lost it somewhere.

    They are hard to find now and cost a mint when you do.
