A clip just holds ammunition & will not feed ammunition since there is not a spring to push the ammunition into the firearm. A Magazine is a feeding device that holds the ammunition & has a spring to feed the ammunition into the firearm. Also a clip is normally used to feed a magazine. As far as magazines go there are numerous types. The common ones are a box magazine, tubular magazine, rotary magazine & these can be internal or detachable. Most bolt action rifles have an internal magazine while most semi automatic firearms have a detachable magazine like what is used in an AK-47 or the AR-15 series rifles. One internal magazine semi auto rifle is the M-1 Garand, it also needs a clip to feed it. Many 22 rifles have a tubular magazine as do many shotguns. An example of a rotary box magazine would be the 10/22 ruger or the old Savage 99. The 10/22 is detachable where the Savage 99 is not (in the old ones, the newer Savage 99 magazines are detacable & I believe a regular box style). Hope this helps some.

Where can you find ammo clips for a Colt Double Eagle in 10 MM?

You won't, because it doesn't use clips, it uses magazines. Sounds picky, but, there are weapons that use clips, not magazines. Here is the basic difference, a magazine is a container which holds ammunition, while a clip holds ammunition in place when outside the magazine, and in some weapons with an internal magazine as well. For example, the M1 Garand has an internal magazine that you load with a clip that stays in the weapon until the last round is fired and then it is ejected. The M1903 Springfield has an internal magazine that can be loaded via a clip, but, the clip does not go into the magazine. The M16 has a magazine that goes into the magazine well of the weapon. You can load the magazine with a clip, but, the magazine has to be out of the weapon to do this. Try e-gunparts.com for magazines.

Why is a gun' clip' also referred to as magazine?

While some people use the terms interchangeably, the proper term IS magazine, Magazine comes from a French word for storage. A clip holds cartridges, so that they may be quickly loaded INTO the magazine. Example- an AR 15 rifle may have ammunition loaded in 10 round "clips". The cartridges are pushed from the clip into the magazine. The MAGAZINE is then loaded into the rifle. However, some rifles, such as the M1 Garand, used an "en bloc" clip. This held the cartridges, and the entire clip was inserted into the rifle magazine. Confused now?
