Issued or knock offs M-9 pistol mags have a high tendancy to jam your weapon. Not really a lesson you want to learn on a two way range!

Actually you'll need them if you do a lot of convoys on roads in the mountains during the winter. Otherwise you'll end up falling on your ass due to the black ice. You can't afford to slip and fall while in contact. The key word is mountains. If he's not going to drive in high altitude than he probably wont need them.
Besides what do I know. I only spent 8 months there in 02/03.
