This video, "Ask Ian: Single Feed vs Double Feed Pistols," hosted by Forgotten Weapons, explores the design considerations behind single-stack versus double-stack magazines in handguns. Ian discusses why double-stack (or "double feed") pistol magazines are less common, attributing it to increased friction as capacity rises, making magazines less reliable. He also highlights that designing firearms to accommodate two different feed positions is more complex and results in wider firearms, whereas single-feed designs are simpler and can lead to slightly narrower slides. Conversely, double-feed magazines are presented as more reliable and less susceptible to fouling. The explanation touches upon the general tendency for pistols to favor single-feed magazines and rifles to favor double-feed, with exceptions acknowledged.
