Do you carry extra mags? I usually only carry my Kel-Tec P-11, when I carry the XD45 sometimes I srtrap on the x-tra mags.

0 to 2 depending on the CCW rig, always 1 when OC.

I carry a revolver, so no magazines. I don't carry a reload though, to answer your question. Not something I've ever felt a need to do.

In before the 4 mag, 90 round minimum, have it and not need it, attacked by gangs, not die for lack of rounds, no one in a gunfight ever complained of having too many crowd.

Anywhere from 1-4 extra mags.

Posted: 8/30/2009 7:28:39 AM EDT

1 extra.

I don't fell a need to carry extra magazines.

Nope.

Sure more is better, but remember some of the people who answer yes are fat asses who don't train, and carry mouse guns.

normally 1 extra magazine (SIG P228). I'm about to go hiking, so I have 2 extras right now.

Posted: 8/30/2009 7:32:32 AM EDT

[#10]

Glock 19: 1 or 2 G17 mags.

Model 60: one speedloader.

Posted: 8/30/2009 7:33:49 AM EDT

P32 spare mag in the 5th pocket.

Posted: 8/30/2009 7:34:30 AM EDT

[#12]

Mdl 640, one speed strip. Haven't changed since this question was asked last week.

Depends. Since moving here, I OC my S&W m637 38 spl, as it's light, comfortable, and doesn't draw ANY attention when OC'ing. Given the environment here, I don't find carrying a reload necessary honestly. Also, no matter how much i practice, i have just never gotten all that fast at using the speed loader, so i don't think it would help much anyways.

when i used to carry my 1911 90% of the time, i did carry a spare mag, mainly because my holster had a spot for it.

obviously, YMMV depending on where you live, as I'm in small town WY, so what is good here, may not be good elsewhere.

Certainly better to have a reload on hand, than need one and not have it, and its not like 1 mag adds much weight, so...

I carry 3 extra magazines.

This. There's no one right answer....I wouldn't go to Somalia with a 5-shot .38 and no reloads, like I wouldn't carry 10 mags in a chest rig when going to a farm in Illinois.

Sometimes I carry an extra mag for my Kahr. On the rare times I'm carrying my G19 or XD45compact I almost always carry one. I figure if I'm gonna carry a bigger gun, I might as well do it right.

Usually though, if I'm going to carry something extra it's going to be a two-shot Kimber O.C. thingy.

I carry 2 spare G17 mags - Because I can.

Depends on the gun, and how deeply concealed I'm looking for.

Posted: 8/30/2009 8:38:22 AM EDT

[#23]

I always carry a spare mag,when carrying a semi auto,regardless of that pistols capacity!

Posted: 8/30/2009 9:08:59 AM EDT

[#24]

I carry at least one extra mag.

Posted: 8/30/2009 9:14:27 AM EDT

[#25]

Um...with my USP compact I carry no extra mag...

with the Kahr PM9 I do.

Posted: 8/30/2009 9:17:14 AM EDT

[#26]

One extra mag. Not because I feel I need the extra ammo (G19) but because there are some problems that a fresh mag is the best solution.

Posted: 8/30/2009 9:21:46 AM EDT

[#27]

G19 always one extra mag at a minimum.

Everyone should always carry at least one extra, mags can go bad.

Posted: 8/30/2009 9:25:36 AM EDT

[#28]

Yes I carry extra mags. And if I carried a Kel-Tec I'd carry an extra gun as well.

Posted: 8/30/2009 9:29:11 AM EDT

[#29]

g17 w/17 rd mag and 3 spare 17 rd mags

Posted: 8/30/2009 9:30:39 AM EDT

[#30]

Not 21 yet, but I plan on carrying one or two extra mag(s) somehow.

My dad carries one extra as well.

Posted: 8/30/2009 9:48:34 AM EDT

[#31]

I try to carry one extra. I just put it in my pocket.

Posted: 8/30/2009 10:01:57 AM EDT

[#32]

1911 no extra mags.

Posted: 8/30/2009 10:05:56 AM EDT

[#33]

Nope

19rds of 9mm should do the trick

Posted: 8/30/2009 10:14:07 AM EDT

[#34]

1 extra USP Compact (8rd) mag

Posted: 8/30/2009 10:18:03 AM EDT

[#35]

Nope. I carry a 23 and if I want to take out multiple threats without even pulling the trigger all I do is throw it in the center of the threat. KABOOM!

Posted: 8/30/2009 10:23:37 AM EDT

[#36]

Depends on what i'm wearing. If i'm in jeans, then no, cargo pants/shorts, yes. I carry a G19 or G26, so the fat magazines dont do well in flat jeans pockets like a 1911 or other single stack mag would.

Posted: 8/30/2009 10:25:51 AM EDT

[#37]

At a minimum I carry one but usually I'm carrying 2 additional magazines for my G17... I wouldn't consider leaving the house without an extra mag!

Posted: 8/30/2009 10:27:25 AM EDT

[#38]

Normally I carry an extra magazine for my Glock 19.

I hope you never need the extra mag and hit all your targets with only one attacker at a time.

+1.
I have 8+1 in the gun, (PSP)
And one extra 8 round mag.

Posted: 8/30/2009 1:09:35 PM EDT

[#41]

depends on what I am wearing. I do not have a mag pouch, and I cannot stand to carry an extra mag in my back pocket. It makes my ass fall asleep.

If I am wearing cargo pants, then yes I will carry a spare.

Posted: 8/30/2009 1:13:25 PM EDT

[#42]

One extra on my person, two in the truck, 100 rounds in the glovebox.

Posted: 8/30/2009 1:21:18 PM EDT

[#43]

I usually carry a g19 and sometimes an xd45 compact. no spare mags are carried on my person, but I keep a spare mag or 3 in my truck. Maybe i'll make a kydex spare mag carrier or 2 for my g19 along with a 1911 holster and spare mag carrier for that.

Sometimes, but not always. Depending on the capacity of my gun I'm carrying. The lower the capacity, the more likely I am to carry a spare. When it's my G19 w/ 15+1 I might not carry a spare.

Posted: 8/30/2009 1:31:49 PM EDT

[#46]

In the warmer months, when I just carry my pocket gun (S&W 442), I carry two extra Safariland speedloaders.

All other times, I just carry an extra gun - the aforementioned 442. (Current primary carry is a P7 in a CrossBreed Supertuck)

One of the big reasons to carry an extra mag is not the round count, but rather that magazines are normally the weak link for autos. Since I carry a whole extra gun when I'm packing an auto, I don't feel the need to carry extra mags.

Exactly. Shit breaks. The big reason for a spare mag isn't ammo, it's for malfunctions.

Posted: 8/30/2009 1:42:30 PM EDT

Two extra mags, always.

Posted: 8/30/2009 1:45:29 PM EDT

One extra mag... Always.
