    How many of y'all carry extra magazines on your person?

    If you do, let us know.


    If not, why not?

    Always; at least 1, usually 2. I feel naked without'em - like driving without a seatbelt on...
    I like my rifles like my women - short, light, fast, brown, and suppressed.

    If wearing 5.11 pants I have three spare Mags. Two in single mag holders and one in that pocket that they put on the front of the left leg.

    Usually at least 1 and a couple in my bag.

    Crap... I don't even have my gun on me most of the time. I used to be a fanatical carry guy. I think I've put a belt holster on 2 times in the last year or two. I'm mostly a home body... and my pistol is on the seat of my truck when I'm out.

    You guys must plan on really getting into some intense firefights with 2-3 reloads necessary. The only time I carry an extra mag is when I carry my LCP because the extra mag is so small and unobtrusive. I feel very adequately armed for any situatIon I may encounter in everyday life when carrying a g19 or g26 with no reload.

    It's cliche, but one is none...

    With that said, I'm guilty of most of the time only carrying a G27 and no spare mag on my body. In the truck I've got the AR, plate carrier, 4 glock mags and 4 AR mags, and med kit.

    I carry three because I can comfortably do it. I'm used to carrying stuff anyway. Besides no one ever suffered because of carrying two or three spare mags. I don't know if I am going to actually need them. All I know is that if I do need them then it's going to suck. If I don't have them it's going to suck more.

    I carry a shield 9mm, with one spare mag. It's really so easy to carry, and the ammo capacity of the Shield is so relatively small, that I like having the reload. Because my jobs entail me being looked at by a lot of people a lot of the time, and a lot of moving, bending, and twisting (bartender and brewer, not stripper ) carrying a smaller gun is easier for me. I just can't effectively conceal bigger guns while working without wearing a tent for a shirt. Out and about I may or may not carry a larger gun (G19 or PPQ), but FWIW I usually have an extra mag with me for those as well. Overall I EDC so much stuff on me that putting an extra mag into the mix isn't going to really affect me; so imo why not have one just in case, especially since as noted above it is a fast way to resolve a malfunction?

    ETA I was thinking about this the other night while watching Hank's final episode in Breaking Bad. Who thinks he would have minded having another mag or three?
