ABSTRACT:
A magazine with an elongated indicator member attached to the follower and projecting outside the body of the magazine so that the length of the indicator member indicates how many bullets remain in the aperture. The indicator member is provided with a series of knots at predetermined intervals so that the number of knots on the portion of the indicator member projecting outside the body of the magazine equals the number of bullets remaining in the magazine. More elaborately, each knot can correspond to a predetermined number of remaining bullets, or the knots can vary in configuration to provide a tactile code of the number of remaining bullets so that the user only needs to feel the knot closest to the magazine to determine the number of bullets remaining.
