So agree!!

When I carried a 15-18 round pistol I did not carry a spare, should have but I didn't. With a revolver I always do. Currently I have 8+1 9mm pistol so I do carry a spare in my left pocket.

I carry either a Glock 19 with a Glock 17 magazine as a spare, or a M&P9c with a 17 rd full size M&P magazine when off work.

When at work, my BUG is a M&P Shield, there is a 8 rd spare magazine for it in a life pocket.

I carry everyday as well. With my 9mm Shield, I carry two extra mags. With my FS 9mm M&P, I carry one extra 17 rd mag & with my Colt 1911 I carry two extra mags. I can carry all of them with no discomfort or "printing.

I've gotten over the "gun guy fantasies" of shoot outs and what not.

If I am "in the mood" I might carry an autoloader with one mag in my left front pocket. That is really rare these days.

Nothing wrong with carrying spare mags though.

I was a bit surprised to read that you don't carry a reload for your J-Frame. At a minimum I carry a speed strip in a pocket on the strong side.
