How many of you EDC with an extra mag.??

[barrelmaker_2002]

I agree but I carry a PF-9 and am wondering where to get the holster at?

I carry two 15rnd magazines for my Glock .40cal

I don't carry extra mag with my 9mm as it holds 12+1, but with My Kel-tec I do carry the extra mag.

 

[chasekerion4]

Nope - 16 round magazine.

 

[Vigilant]

I carry an extra mag, just because. 99.99% of the time I will not need either, but that silly .01% scares the sh!+ outta me.

Thanks for the input guys!!

I carry my Glock 26 (10+1) and always carry a extra Glock 17 magazine with a A&G or ProMag grip filler (gives a 17 style grip similar to XD mags for compacts) and Pearce +3 floorplate for 20 rounds. It is typically in a Galco tuckable single mag carrier but I'll probably replace it with a homemade Kydex tuckable soon.

I carry 2 mags primarily in case of magazine failure or if the SHTF. While most defensive shootings end in under 1 magazine, I have read a few stories where reloads were needed so I think it's prudent to carry a spare. Criminals rarely work solo.

Your having a bad day if you get in a gun fight! your having a really bad day if you get in a gun fight with not enough ammo! That being said one mag in the gun three more in the center console.

Good point Vigilant... I carry a G27 with spare G23 mag.

 

[basswizard]

I always carry a spare mag in a magazine case. It helps keep the dust bunnies out and helps to maintain an acceptable, accessible position in the pocket.

I only carry an extra mag with my 1911's and the G36. Although I usually have a mag for every carry gun sitting in the console of my truck...probably not smart, but I'm not worried about it.

Carrying one mag is like only putting enough gas in your car to get where you going. If you get stuck in traffic or can't find a gas station you are out of luck. A firearm is only a badly designed club if it is out of ammo or if you have a malfunction. The magazine is the weakest link of any semi automatic firearm and carrying at least one extra mag is only extra insurance you will be able to stay in the fight. Even if your pistol mag holds 33 rounds, if the second round causes a malfunction or the mag fails you are out of ammo.

For those that carry extra mags in the car and not on your person, what is your plan for getting to the vehicle to get the mags?

 

[whiskeytangofoxtrot]

As far as having mags in the truck, I'm usually only home or at the university which I can't carry anyways. No job yet, so I don't get to go out and have fun at the moment.

 

[ian2000gsxr]

i have a G23 and sometimes I'll put an extra one in my pocket...just depends. there is always one in the center console of the car however.

 

[Paco Bedejo]

I always carry an extra mag in my pocket for my XDm 40. Even though it holds 16+1, if that mag jams & I don't have another, I'm SOL. When I get the cash, I'm going to buy the IWB-tuckable dual-mag holder from Crossbreed. That'll give me two backups. Grand total of 49 cartridges on me at all times. Life threatening situations call for over-preparedness. Besides, the 2 mags on my weak side will offset the weight of the monster on my right hip & should be more comfortable.

M&P 9MM, 17 rounds, no extra mag. I just don't want to lug all that "concealed".

 

[mkelsey]

I carry a pt145 and like many other people in this thread, if i have cargo pants or a bag or pack i take an extra mag otherwise i go with just the one.

 

[kingnereli]

I always carry two extra magazines for the Colt - one ten and one 8 round. I agree with the need for over preparation. I am aware that "the statistics" lean towards needing less then six rounds rounds but that is assuming a single attacker and no malfunctions. I feel the need to be prepared for all possible circumstances.

 

[Crystalship1]

I am pretty sure this is not a PF-9.

It's not, it's a 3AT. I have one for a PF-9, I just couldn't find a pic. but I'm pretty sure everybody gets the general idea.

 

[IUGradStudent]

I carry an extra 15 rounder for my G19 in my front pocket. A guy I really respect carries an extra mag for his G27, so I figure I should for my G19, too. Plus I've read all the stories about needing extra rounds, etc.
