What he said ^ (I concur).

I would say, however, that it is also accurate to refer to an en bloc clip as a magazine since without one the firearm is limited to single shot operation. The 'stripper' is merely a device used to load a magazine.

I'll opine that a 'stripper' is strictly a clip, an en bloc is both clip and magazine, while a removable magazine of the type found in an M1911 Colt would be, strictly speaking, a magazine.

I realize the clip vs. magazine debate is older than all of us and will persist long after we're gone. In the real world many people will refer to all of their removable pistol and long arm magazines as clips. In much the same fashion, the five cent coin issued by the United States from 1913-38 is almost universally referred to as a 'Buffalo Nickel' though it depicts a bison and is 75% copper.
