For those of you that carry daily; how many extra mags do you carry with you????

I only carry the mag that is loaded in gun that has a 12 round cap. I need to get in habit of carrying at least one extra mag with me.

I carry 1 spare mag and a back-up revolver in my ankle
Generally just the mag that is in my P99c - I am trying to get into the habit of keeping 1 extra mag on me too.

Typically, 2 on the belt, and for the Kimber 1911, 2 on the belt, 1 in a pocket and 2 on the console.

here is the best advice i can give you.


carry at least two.

because if youre gun fires and your gun jams. the feed lips or something else could be bent or broken. and if thats the case if you dont have another clip then you dont have a weapon.

always have a spare.
2 extras

the one in the gun.
if i need more then that i should've ran to begin with! :---

You throw the gun at them and hope to knock them out. :D

When I am at the range (illegal to carry in Illinois) or out in Montana, I carried one in the weapon and two additional 13 rd mags on my belt.
I carry one mag in the gun and one in my pocket.

In the woods I carry one mag of ball and one of hollowpoint high perf.

A backup knife also.

thats good.

a quote comes to mind.

"if all you carry is a hammer. every job is a nail."

It depends on where I'm going, and since I'm not old enough to carry concealed, it goes under the seat in the car (unloaded.) If I'm just running out to the store I'll take what's in it (one 12rnd mag+1 in the chamber, it's an XD40 Service.) If I'm going to a bad part of town I'll slip my other extra mags (two) in the XD Gear case it came with and put that on my belt (while keeping the XD holstered under the seat if I need to slip it onto the belt.) With the way things have been going around Blacksburg my Dad or Grandfather (the people who I'm normally with) will also be carrying, Dad the 9mm Sigma, or my Grandfather the P22. Neither of them ever carry extra mags.

If I have the Snubby .38 I'll slip it under the seat along with a box of ammo because normally when I have it I'm spending the night at Mom's and want more than five rounds or I'm going to the range, etc.

p22 isnt probably the best thing. but something better than nothing

If I go in a "gun free" zone, the guns sty in the car and the taser and baton come with me.

Yeah, I'm trying to talk him into getting a Bersa .380 but he likes the P22 too much :lol:

i use the line. "whats your life worth to you?"
G
Right now I carry eight mags for my M4 and three for my M9 ;).

Back on the block, the mag in the Glock and one spare.

when the ar is with me. one beta in the gun and 4 40rounders with it.
