I keep at least 5 mags in rotation and usually (still accumulating them) I keep at least 5 pre-ban mags in "cold storage" after they have been tested and proven worthy.
"Cold Storage" is currently a plastic drum partially filled with CLP that the mags are soaking in an waiting for use. I periodically take them out, and then ladel the oil over them for long term rust protection. My thoughts are that 20 years from now I want to have like new tested normal-capacity magazines for my pistols and rifles.
SOOOOO, to answer your question, 5 mags in routine use, and between 5 and 20 mags per gun, in long term storage.
