My first rifle when I was out of diapers had a detachable mag. I've always preferred those. One finger\thumb removal of the mag and unload one round. Put the round in the mag and put the mag in your pocket. Easy\peasy. Let's see....I've been on this earth for almost 58 years and have never lost or forgotten a mag. Why? 'Cause I know you can't shoot anything without the bullets!!!
