When I first started carrying, I carried at least one extra magazine. I've since changed my primary ccw and for some reason stopped carrying an extra magazine. I think because I don't have a magazine pouch for my primary and just really haven't put a lot of thought into it. Before I go on the hunt for a magazine pouch for my "favorite" that I've been carrying... I wanted to see how many others typically don't carry an extra one.
Thanks,
Moosie

If I do< I usually carry it in my pocket, a 7 rounder..

I can’t help but think caliber might be the determination. When I carried a 1911 I always had 2 extra mags with 7 rnds each. Always seemed so heavy. Now my trade off is 9mm and extra 1 mag with 15 rnds and I’m still feeling it.
-
Normally no extra. Now I carry 14+1 of 45. If the mag ban passes, I will go to 29 instead of 15.
(8+1 in the gun and 2 X 10 spare) Mag ban will work real well huh??
-
My preferred carry is a Glock 32 (.357) which is 13+1. I used to be of the mindset that if I couldn't stop the threat with 14 that I should learn to throw my firearm at them LOL. Now, I'm re-thinking things. Not for any particular reason.
Yes, Radnor LOL. The mag ban will work wonders... until someone figures out that we all move to something similar to what you mentioned and a genius legislator puts a limit on the number of rounds we can have on our person.
Hmmm.. just food for thought (for me). Thanks.

I always carry an extra magazine (most times two) regardless of the gun or caliber.

What is the weakest part??? The mag. If it fails, you're SOL. If the gun fails, you can always smack, tap, and rack. I need to start carrying the extra mag....

Isn't there a song that goes something like, "I'm a little drunk on you and high on summer time? LOL.. TK, I'm sorry you have to put up with such abuse. ;D
The weakest part of my defense? before or after I've had a few martini's? LOL. honestly, I don't carry if I'm drinking and I dont drink if I'm carrying.
That's a tough question for me to answer. I haven't thought about it.

It's a Glock, Moosie. Unless you've modified the gun or the magazine, you can trust it with your life.
-
LOL, there are few things I trust my life to and even fewer people. However, that being said, I do think my Glock is reliable. I'm not one to make modifications to anything if it's good just the way it is. :)

Highly reliable firearms can fail because of human interaction. A good case in point: A brand specific 45 cal ammo over pressured a $1,100 1911 clone. Split the barrel. Shooters Choice keeps it for demonstration. My backup plan trust it with run for your life!
-
I usually carry a S&W 38+P, so I have one extra speedloader handy.
-
It depends on what I am carrying. If it is my Colt 1911 I have 1 in the chamber and an 8 round mag loaded. I have at least 1 extra 8 rounder with me. If I have my Glock 17 I might carry an extra mag, but its pretty rare.
-
I don't carry any extra mags on my person. I do keep an extra mag in the car. I carry a 1911 CCO(Officer's frame with a Commander length slide and barrel).
-
I keep one extra mag
-
But how are you guys carrying your extra mag? A external mag holster seems over kill... i could probably handle it in my pocket.
Any of you hide loaded mags around the house?
-
I have a raven concealment mag holder that holds 2 extra mags either .40 or 9mm it fits pretty tight and can go in or out of waistband
-
A OWB holster that holds my Glock mag and flashlight. I bought it from comp-tac.com
-
I care a S&W Shield 9mm and carry 1 extra mag in my pocket. Which pocket depends on the pants or shorts I am wearing.
-
Normally I carry 1 extra mag in a mag case on my belt. My SR9 holds 17+1, and 17 in extra mag. I have been know to use a OWB holster that holds a 17 Rd. mag, have my belt mag case and my loaded gun giving me a total of 52 rounds of 9 MM hollow points. Let's boogie!
-
I carry a Glock 29 with 10+1 rounds of 10mm Auto, and a spare 10-round magazine.
I'm a pessimist.
I told my wife, "If you let me spend whatever I wanted on a carry gun, I'd still choose this 10mm Glock."
She replied, "Good, because no matter what you wanted to carry, I'd let you buy it."

mag for 1911 and mag for s&w bodyguard .380 in each pocket
