Curious who carries extra mags for their CCW weapon? I always CCW - but probably 90% of the time just my Glock 27 no extra mags. If I go somewhere thats a bit possibly more likely of something bad I carry 2 extra mags and usually the full size G22. Bad rationale I know but feel like 10 + 1 of 40 is sufficient. I do feel just a bit better when carrying the full size with 2 extra mags, knife and Surefire but the added bulk…
Curious what you do?
I usually carry one extra on my person. In my truck I carry a couple extras in a bug out bag.
With my G19 or my Sig P229 I carry at one back up mag. When I have my 1911(rarely carried) I bring two.
I carry one extra mag on me and several more in my go bag. Usually another pistol as well.
10+1 in a G27 mag? I thought they were 9 rounders…
Always one extra.
It’s about malfunctions, not ammo, for me.
Yep. Always one spare mag, minimum.
I always carry an extra magazine. It is usually weak side, OWB in a Comp-Tac open top mag pouch. I see it extremely important to have a reload, as an extra magazine and more ammunition is always a plus.
I always carry an extra mag. If shit goes south and I find myself needing to use my weapon I want to be able to properly address a stoppage in the event that it occurs. For me, this means that I have given myself the option of dumping the problem mag altogether and inserting a fresh new mag to get back in the fight.
I do. 1 usually, but two with the LCP.
This.
I’m much more worried about a magazine related failure, or a stoppage that means i need to dump the mag. Having additional rounds is never a bad thing, but I’d be lying if I said it was the main reason I ALWAYS carry a spare mag.
Still carry a 1911 for the most part, and a spare mag is just a standard part of the load out.

Two spare mags w/my Kahr CM9, 1-2 w/my SIG P250c.

Always carry a spare G17 mag with my G19. No one
ever complained they had too much ammo in a gun fight.
I always carry one G17 mag to go with my G19.

I carry an extra mag in an archangel mag pouch (AIWB). Never hurts to have it, and naturally AIWB the holster makes room for it. Currently looking at going for two.
That said, I was perfectly comfortable just carrying a G17/19 without an extra mag.
For a long time it’s been a 642 with one additional strip.
But for these next few days its that AND a G19 with extra mags in a bug out bag lol.

Always carry a Kimber CDP Ultra and an extra mag, a small flashlight and sometimes a set of cuffs.
I found the flashlight has been my savior quite a few times.

Always a spare mag. Depending where I’m at, I’ll have 2.
I carry one spare more for malfunction insurance than a “break contact” mag.
I picked up the Incog holster from G-code for my G19 which allows me to carry an extra magazine on the holster itself. I think it is really well made, the mag caddy isn’t the most comfortable for me but is very functional. It is really nice if I will be walking around while wearing it because the discomfort really presents itself when seated and the magazine pokes into my abdomen. I carry another G19 mag for that reason, the G17 would probably be even more uncomfortable.
