I carry a spare mag not for the reloads but because the most likely point of failure in a semi-auto is the mag. I like knowing that if I have a failure and do a tap-rack-nobang, I can drop the mag, put in the spare, and try one more time.I only carry a spare mag because it evens out the printing (appendix) and the extra clip prevents the gun from canting itself. Statistically, the odds of using a reload, as a civilian, are very close to zero. Let alone multiple reloads.
To each his own. I carry a sig p365 + 1 extra mag in summer, G19 + 1 extra mag in winter (both mags are 15 rounders). Plus 2 knives. I think an extra mag is important. I've had the base plate fall out of one during a competition. Would hate for that to happen in a SD situation without a spare.I got laughed at by this guy from Texas once when he asked me how much 'gun' do I carry. I said typically a P30SK with 10+1 and a spare 10 in a pocket. The guy carries a Glock 48 on his hip and then a P226 with TLR-1HL in his backpack and 4x spare free state mags with that in there. The point was he would engage threats with the 48 first, and then when he had time, to whip out the larger gun for extended engagements. Seriously? Then again there are other guys on here who are probably comfortable throwing a 642 in a pocket and go out the door. What do you guys typically carry and how much spare booletz?
I get what you are saying, but unless it happens in your house, the gun you have on you will be the only one you have to fight with.Handguns are a means to allow you to fight to your long gun. Plan and act accordingly…
I’ve been on some other forums and Facebook pages where guys claim to actually carry something like that. Usually in a back pack. Seems a little paranoid unless you are in Ukraine or Chicago
X2. I carry enough for cover to get me and my family out the back door.Getting into fire fight is never a win

My standard “far away from home” carry is 2 magazines with 15 rounds each. I keep spare loose ammo in my luggage or vehicle.
Walking around my town, I am comfortable carrying less gun since an engagement with multiple people is extremely unlikely.
Yes I carry a 642......but not in my pocket I carry it in a bianci high rise leather holster.I got laughed at by this guy from Texas once when he asked me how much 'gun' do I carry.

I carry a Massachusetts P365 with the safety removed and module changed tons generic Sig non safety module. I have the extended pierce 10 round magazine as the edc. I carry it in a 508 holster IWB with monoclips or with a Safariland 7371 7TS™ ALS® CONCEALMENT PADDLE HOLSTER. I carry a 10 round magazine the flat one.p365 with 10+1 when Im in a low risk area. Add an additional 1 or 2 ten rounders with pinky extension in a tulster holster if Im somewhere skethcy.
You just leave a AR in the trunk on the regular?Exactly. I mean, if I have a backpack, I can carry my SBR Scorpion in it. If I have a car trunk, I have an AR in it. Why do I need two hand guns on my person?
In my home? Like I said, use the handgun to fight to my AR’s or Tavor.
Somewhere around there, yes.When was that? The June 4, 2020 “shopping spree?”
I suspect Iron Eagle is my LA buddy.OP and Iron Eagle are the same person, calling it now!

So, what you're saying is that you want to particpate, right?I always get the feeling OP’s collecting information for some radical liberal gay California study he’s doing.
Is that wrong...? Too hot under the hood...You just leave a AR in the trunk on the regular?
