Introducing MagTags!

One of our customers approached us with an all too relatable problem - a good sized gun collection with multiple magazines per gun had made it difficult to identify which magazine went with which gun. Sometimes, he would have to try each magazine in each firearm or wind up going to the range and being disappointed that he brought the wrong magazine with him. The magazine crisis was at hand, and he asked us if there was a good solution.

So, we came up with MagTags. Rather than labels from a label maker, sticky notes, or colored electrical tape (he had tried them all to varying degrees of success), we suggested a permanent mark on each one. We left it up to him where he wanted the tags, and he chose the back bottom, just above the base plate. 

With a little testing and some graphics editing, we designed and presented a simple, elegant fix for the problem.

We used a laser etching process to mark each magazine with the manufacturer's logo and the model designation of the firearm. Colors varied, depending on the kind of metal or polymer used, but the results were a clear winner for easily grabbing the right magazine for the right gun as fast as you please. As a bonus, the markings are subtle enough to look like they might have come from the factory. We'll have to wait until he heads to the range to find out if anyone asks about the process for getting the MagTags done.

If this kind of thing interests you, feel free to reach out to FrogArms to get your magazine collection as sorted out as you one day hope to have your gun collection.
