How do you carry your spare magazine?

[WillametteWill]

Hey, once it's revived it is fair game!

 

[OldTengu]

I've used old leatherman belt sheaths in the past. I use my pockets, now. Weak side. Run a few hundred drills reloading from the pocket first though, so you can get used to it. Also turn your pockets out so you don't get lint in the mags.

C'mon….. no one hs admitted to using their prison wallet for spare mag carry?

I tried but after I stick the pistol in it, there is no room for the extra mag. Maybe with some lube.

I use a Leatherman nylon sheath

Why one cop carries 145 rounds of ammo on the job

Before the call that changed Sergeant Timothy Gramins’ life forever, he typically carried 47 rounds of handgun ammunition on his person while on duty

Here's the part of an interview where he discusses the incident.

 

[P7M13]

Rarely carry a spare. I prefer to use situational awareness and avoid going dumb places.
If I have to yank my pistol, I haven't been thinking. If I need more than 7+1, I must be really stupid.

When I do, right front pocket in the crease, with mag down and bullets facing rearward so when I grab it's oriented to slam in. And yes, have practiced this despite carrying a spare mag only two times that I can remember

 

[Jay Walk]

I don't, if I had to I probably would not carry at all. P I T A.

 

[40Garand]

I carry em like my women. One in each pocket.

 

[titsonritz]

I carry em like my women. One in each pocket.

Cargo pockets must be for the fatties.

 

[Jay Walk]

Springfield has fifteen rounders available for the hellcat on the website now, if you install the thirteen round buttplate on the 15's then BOOM 18 rounds.

Or... uh... that is what I heard.

 

[40Garand]

Cargo pockets must be for the fatties.

No, cargo pockets are for the slobs that eat at Home Town Buffet and sneak food home for later.

 

[Longwalkhome]

I carry em like my women. One in each pocket.

I can't say that is wise, women are known to be noisy especially when near a man's pockets.

 

[papersoldier]

My appendix holster has an attached magazine carrier. Besides that, I keep a spare extended magazine in my everyday bag.

 

[papersoldier]

C'mon….. no one hs admitted to using their prison wallet for spare mag carry?

Hey! That's where I keep my 33-round Glock mag!

 

[40Garand]

C'mon….. no one hs admitted to using their prison wallet for spare mag carry?

I might know where somebody from around here keeps his packages of Ritz crackers.

 

[Stomper]

Hey! That's where I keep my 33-round Glock mag!

I don't EVEN wanna know if that's lengthwise or sideways…..

 

[papersoldier]

I don't EVEN wanna know if that's lengthwise or sideways…..

I like to switch it up. You know, to keep things interesting!

That's a very interesting thought process. Especially as extra capacity is only half the reason to carry a spare mag.

Magazines are mechanical devices and like all mechanical devices they can fail. What's your plan if the only mag you have fails?
