ABSTRACT:
A magazine (20) for delivering rimmed cartridges to a handgun is disclosed. Magazine (20) includes a casing (22) having a removable base or closure (26). Magazine (20) further includes a spring loaded follower (51) for urging cartridges upwardly against solid lips (41, 42) and yieldable lips (4,5 46). Follower (51) cooperates with a latching mechanism comprised principally of a spring urged pawl (61) for engagement with a latch member (60). The latching mechanism disengages when magazine (20) is inserted into butt (21) of a handgun so that release (70) is cammed inwardly to force pawl (61) to disengage from latch member (60). The cartridges in magazine (20) assume a banana-shape with base support from a wedge (80).
