ABSTRACT:
A magazine for firearms is provided with either a double or single row of cartridges. The magazine is particularly for use with automatic or semi-automatic pistols. The magazine includes a magazine housing for ammunition having a magazine housing bottom. A follower and spring are provided within the magazine housing for moving the cartridges upward away from the bottom. The follower is provided with a curved upper edge with a radius larger than the radius of the cartridges or ammunition. This curved upper edge connects with a curved top tapered edge of the follower to form an inclined upper side. The base of the follower has an inclined surface and a cavity for receiving coils of the spring. A wall of the cavity and the inclined side meet at an edge of the inclined surface at a beveled region. The magazine spring has an upper taper part that fits snugly into the cavity or notch of the follower when the magazine is fully loaded with ammunition.
