Well, there are magazines, and then there are clips, and then there are
stripper clips.  Technically, it's a magazine if the spring and other parts
needed to feed the ammunition are part of it, rather than part of the
firearm.  It's a stripper clip if it is used to load a firearm or firearm
magazine but doesn't remain in the firearm during operation.  It's a clip if
the spring and other parts that do the feeding are part of the firearm, but
the clip nevertheless stays in the firearm during operation (like an M1
Garand rifle, for example).

If I bought a 9mm Glock, I would prefer to have all the MAGAZINES he had.  I
wouldn't need any CLIPS (unless I needed some for an SKS rifle).

For those who don't know, a "Stripper Clip" is a device that holds the ammo
together for the purpose of inserting the ammo into a rifle magazine.
Here's a link to a site showing what a STRIPPER CLIP looks like:
