Do you prefer 25 or 32 round Uzi magazines?

There’s not a huge price spread between the two surplus mags, so that’s not a motivator for me. I own and use both.

With 25s you can split a box of ammo for 2 mags, 32s shoot a little longer with one pull but you need to load 25 magazines (800 rounds) to keep from having any left over rounds... ;)

Both. If loading from boxes at local range or at home find it easier to load 25 per 25 or 32 rd mag.

Before going to shoots always dump ammo from boxes into .50 cal ammo cans. Can't see bringing trash with me. Loading from ammo cans I fill the mags. 25 or 32.

My Uzi Lulas seem to work best with 32s, the clip often slips off while loading 25s. No big deal, either way.

the 40's work decent on mine....i use those

the 25's you cant give away...i tried selling some at one point and was down to $5-8 a mag before someone would buy them....

i typically load up (8) 32 or 40 round mags for range time

Competitions typically limit you to 30 rounds, so a 32 would be the obvious choice there.

Both. I keep 20x 25 rounders in my range bag so I can empty a full 500 round case of Q4318 into them. I use the 32 rounders for my subsonic load and keep one of the 7 mag italian mag pouches in same range bag loaded with my subsonic load.

FWIW - there is a difference in the C.O.L. these rounds can deal with - the 25 rounders have a hard stop right at/around 1.160, but the 32 rounders can take up to SAAMI spec(1.169) and a few thousandths over. Since the XTREME 165gr's I load subsonic can vary .010 in COL with mixed cases the 32's are very useful for these loads since they can suffer the variance in COL.

25 although I also dump my ammo into an ammo can before I hit the range . 25's slow me down . If I had a 500 round mag I would stand here and shoot until it was empty or the barrel melted !!!!

32 because it just looks right. 25rd mags make the Uzi look neutered or punished like I'm in a restricted state.

It depends if you are semi or SMG. Even with an SMG, 40 rounders aren't enough. The Argentine 40s are kind of sloppy fit wise, so I typically use the 32s. The only 25 rounder I have is the one the gun came with.

25 rounder for folks who ask to shoot your uzi and 32 when I’m shooting it. Lol

Empty 25 round mags for people who ask to shoot my Uzi, loaded mags for me.

I prefer the 32's for competition, but 25's are fine for just messing around. Obviously, I own both. I'll buy more of either when I see them for the price is right.

Way freakin' too close to the city....especially n
I have way more 25's because that is all I bought while my state had an effed up rule about 31 and over in a semi! Now that that has been rectified, I have a few 32 rounders. I wouldn't mind having a few 40 rounders if I knew what runs OK and could find them reasonable. Are the Argentine 40s OK and are there others to get that run?

The 40 round and 50 round Uzi magazines I got from Recon Ordnance run as well as the 25 and 32s. I don't know if these are the FMk3 mags though.

64 round for the win!!!

32 are the standard for my range visits though. Most times they only get loaded to 25 rounds though as it splits up a box nice, and using a Magpacker, 25 go into a 32 round mag quickly and without a fuss.. Problem is bringing enough ammo.
