A spare mag weights my jacket pocket to aid in drawing. But is then more difficult to access.

I carry a spare 1911 mag in a nylon Gerber knife or multitool sheath. I didn't like the IWB method and no one gives this a second glance.

Or a speed strip with a 442. To the people who carry their reloads in their pockets, do you practice tactical reloads digging them out of your pockets? |

Do not always carry reloads.
Have an old cell phone case that holds two 10 round clips for mini cougar. Or carry one in my vest pocket, wear a vest most days in the winter for warmth and western dress. |

If I'm carrying my 1911, a spare mag goes in the front, left pocket. I don't bother carrying reloads for my 9mm. I guess I figure 14-16 rds is adequate for most contingencies.

15+1 is all you need till SHTF and Murphy comes around with a double feed and when you try and clear it the round turns up and you now have to fix that too. You always need at least 1 reload.

Horizontally, on the weak side, base plate to the rear, bullets down; in either of these Allied Multi Tool pouches according to which pistol I am carrying.
I carry a single 15 round reload for my usual carry, the full-size .40; and a single 12 round reload for the 9mm compact I carry only occasionally. The tool pouches work well for me.

In the left thigh pocket of my Carharts. Otherwise in the front left pocket. I had a tailor add a small pocket to fit a magazine when they were working on my slacks. It all depends on what I am doing and where I am going that day.

OWB. either a Comp-Tac or Raven. I used to cc with my shirt tucked in and I carried one in velcro pouch, like a leatherman holder. but quickly realized that I just couldnt get to them fast enough, and every class i took I used a regular one any way. so I figured screw it, I will just keep my shirt untucked and use the gear I trained with(thats what your saposed to do
any way)

Carry gun is a G17, back-up is a Colt Custom Shop Detective Special, bobbed, hammer, tritium front sight, action job.
On-duty: OWB Vertical DMC, weak-side, 9 o'clock. Reloads for the back-up go in left rear hip pocket on a speed strip. Off-duty: OWB Vertical SMC, weak-side, 9 o'clock. Reloads for the back-up go in left rear hip pocket on a speed strip. I prefer leather DMCs, since they mold to the body a bit better. Leather DMC is an old Kramer. SMC is an old BladeTech. I carry additional spare reloads in a messenger bag, along with other sundries including a BOK. |

My G17 mag rides in my rear pocket next to my wallet, weak side. It feels like it isn't there, and I can get it out quickly, automatically oriented to be placed in the gun.

Tried IWB mag carry. It sucks.
Tried OWB mag carry. It, also, sucks. Tried inside-the-pocket mag carry. Guess what? Yup, it sucks. But at least it's a bit more comfortable. 5th pocket? Good, but it just stabs you in the liver every time you sit down. Those tacticool 5.11 pants with the mag pocket on the left side? Good, but the pants are obvious to anyone who knows, and the pocket is made for full-size double stack mags. My 8-rd. 9mm mags fall down pretty far in the pocket and have to be "squeezed" out from the bottom. A safety pin on the inside to close some of the pocket off works to correct that. Tossing a few in the truck console is a nice way to have some mags nearby *somewhere*. Ditto for diaper bag, etc. I'm still really unlikely to ever need a spare mag, but I always fit one somewhere when I can. |
