Do you always carry an extra magazine

[SimonRL]

would you settle for...ABC..??

You still got it!

 

[Pitdogg2]

Yes!
I carry a spare tire in both my vehicles yet I've never used them. I'll carry a spare mag and hope I never need to use either....the mag or the pistol.

Hardly ever.

In 10 Round Max California, it’s a must. Minimum of 1 and depending on where I’m going, 2.

 

[David N.]

Winter time, yes. Summer time, no.

2 15s on the hip and a 13 in the gun.

Like they say in flying:

The two things that are totally useless in flying is the air in the fuel tank and the runway behind you.

 

[Blackmesa96]

Wow. I really thought that was a no-brainer. Would much rather have a couple of extras and not need them than to find myself in a situation where I need them and not have them.

Some people I know even carry a backup firearm.

 

[Onewolf426]

If carrying my Mossberg MC2C with the 15 round mag, probably not. My others that have 7 or 8 round mags, yes.

Hi,

I usually carry only the horizontal magazine holder. It's comfortable and easy to manipulate. The rest is for range training. I also have a few IWB mag carriers if I really want to get loaded up.

Anything worth doing is worth overdoing.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

Short answer is yes.

Slightly longer answer is God forbid if I ever have to shoot even a single shot, every trainer I've ever worked with has advocated that as soon as the shooting is over the first thing you do is reload.

In real life this has only ever happened to me once but it did happen. I got to work one night and as I stepped out of my car the magazine fell out of my gun and bounced off my foot. I don't know why it happened but it happened.

In that particular instance I picked the magazine up off my foot and put it back in the gun. Had it fallen out in the grass somewhere where I didn't hear it hit the ground I had my two reloads as dictated by company policy

Always, plus a good knife, small flashlight and pepper spray.

 

[Bloodknight]

Since the major uptick in crime in this country. I feel it's necessary.

 

[USMC6094]

ALWAYS, at least one, and depending on what I'm carrying, one extra is the minimum, for the carry gun.
The truck gun on the other hand, one close, and seven spares......

 

[Inusuit]

I live a sedate lifestyle in a rural area. My EDCs are 11+1 and 15+1. I have spare mags in the truck and a 19+1 Glock with spare mag. So unless on a road trip, no extra mag for EDC.

 

[Hammer67]

Carrying a spare mag isn't just about extra capacity - the mag is one of the most common reasons for a malfunction. In that situation, I'm not going to be problem-solving, I'm going to be dumping the faulty mag and throwing in a new one.

Except when I am in the gym, then it's just 17+1
