do you carry spare mags?

[trnsplntfrmohio]

I do,

15+1 in the gun
and 2 spare 14 round mags
for a total of 44 rounds. I carry my pouch weak side. and my girlfriend hates it

 

[wtfd661]

Always carry at least one spare mag. I usually carry a 1911 though so I only have between 15 and 22 rds of .45

Holly cow man! Enough ammo? Let me see that would be..... like 225 rounds or so!!!



Oh, never mind you were talking about pistol capacity, my bad!

Always have a spare!!!!!!!!!!

How do you guys keep your spare(s)?

 

[00BlasterResto]

The only time I do is if I wear my shoulder holster, which is not to often. Other than that no I do not.
With gun,cell phone, wallet, keys, pocket knife, smokes/lighter...etc. I already have enouph stuff I'm gonna need a backpack pretty soon.
I also see it as one more thing to give me away. If you see someone with mags, well then they probably have a gun. The extra printing is just one more thing to catch the eye and draw someones Attn. that way.
I usually carry 15+1 in any of my carry guns (all 9mm) but if I just have the LCP (6+1 .380) I still dont carry extras, I just don't plan on a shoot out.
My girlfreind always carry's her P226 though, so I do usually have a bit of backup if need be.

 

[Armed & Christian]

Always.

 

[PwrCruz]

Always carry at least 1 spare mag. I have found that most semi-auto related problems can be solved with a mag change.

 

[ilfishin]

Usually not for everyday carry. I feel 15 rounds will cover most self defense situations. Now if I plan on going into a rough part of town, then I'll put two on my weak side. But then I always have my Berreta .22 in my back pocket as well.

 

[Goodcat]

17+1 in gun, 33rnd in glove box. I don't carry spares on my person though

In the trunk under a mat....Oh sorry, you mean mags. I wilson, weak side in a Bianchi holder

 

[trnsplntfrmohio]

I don't ever plan on using more than 3 or 4 rounds, which is why my mag in the gun and the round in the gun are magtech 45+p and i keep fmj in my spares. I figure if I need more than what I have in the gun It's not gonna matter if a bullet goes through a bad guy and hits another bad guy hehe

tss i keep them under the couch cushions, haven't got caught yet, there are some nicotine based products with the other mags too.

.45 with 8 + 1 in an IWB & 2-8 round mags in an IWB carrier, Glock 26 with 10 + 1 on the ankle. Better safe than sorry.

 

[Joe Williams]

When carrying a semi-auto, always at least one spare, no matter how many rounds in the gun. The mag is the weakest point in a semi-auto, and without a mag it's at best a single shot.

 

[latigo]

Yup, one 8 round mag for 1911, front weak hand pocket in a pocket mag holder. Mag positioned for off index finger reload.

 

[RH822-A]

If I am carrying a single stack, 1911 or PPK/s, I will carry one extra mag and I will carry one extra speed loader for a revolver. If I am carrying a double stack of 12 or more then no I will not carry an extra mag. I figure if I get myself in a position that requires more than 5 rounds or so, it was probably a bad decision to go there in the first place.

[lovemachine]

One in the chamber with a full clip in my G19. I carry another mag in a fobus paddle. Since I'm out wearing a coat, its usually in my coat pocket.

 

[pathfinder317]

always carry 2 spare mags , if I can't do it with 3 clips I might have needed a rifle instead.
I like Smitty's signature about America being at war .

 

[tyler34]

I carry one soon to be two in a raven mag carrier weak side.

 

[bwframe]

No extra mags = no gun.
