Mags, how many do you carry

[nammac]

I just carry the one but my girlfriend, who has neck problems and usually wears a neck brace and who's always with me, wears ten loaded 33's around her neck, much like the tribeswomen of Africa wear those neck rings.

No wonder why she needs a neck brace

 

[Capn Jack]

Depends on what I think about the day and situation I'm going in to.

I do my best to stay out of, "Situations". I just prepare for the worst
and hope for the best.

 

[Deerhurst]

3 for pistol, 2 for rifle.

If it's compact it's one mag in, 2 full-size mags.

If it's full-size it's one in and 2 full-size mags, 20s if possible.

Rifle will be 2 30s of 2 different ammo types.

 

[Gunbuggy]

On a normal day, pistol with 15+1 and 2 spare 17 rounders on hip.
ar pistol in rig with mag loaded, 2 extra mags in a "get home" bag with small first aid kit.

going out of town, same setup but add a plate carrier w/ 3 more AR mags and 3 more pistol mags on it, and 2 rifle / 2 pistol mags in my "out of town" bag which is usually a little more stocked up than my normal "get home" bag. 2 days of snacks, water, extra first aid stuff and two tq's

When I carry my VP9 I have one 15 round magazine in the gun and carry two spare magazines for total of 45 rounds. But if Washington State Legislature enacts a high capacity magazine ban for only recreational use and home use then I guess I will have to buy 10 round magazines.

One for whatever I have with me. If that's not enough, I failed to prepare. Wa. has a two pole license.

[Pahonix]

Just one, no spares.

 

[BrianHillsboro]

One or 2 depending on where I'm at, if carrying a second, I carry it with its own bullet launching device.

 

[coop44]

I usually carry only 1 barny fife bullet

 

[CountryGent]

On my person? One in the pistol, one spare.

Traveling, hiking, in vehicle, etc., more, depending.

 

[Savage Jav]

My thinking is the reason I can see to carry an additional mag would be if your worried about fixing a malfunction not to shoot more. You can make the argument that I want "extra firepower" but if that's the case you probably want a "truck gun ." 6-17 rounds along with your legs and brain ought to get you out of that situation. I'm not trying to get in a protractive gun fight with my carry gun, its enough to defend myself, break contact, or buy time to get more gun.

I carry an extra mag for this reason, however the most important part of carrying is that you carry it and what's in the gun is statistically enough.

 

[Preilly49]

Hellcat plus 1 extra on the belt next to my Benchmade. Bug out bag lives in the trunk.

 

[PORSCHE928S4]

Mag in pistol and two extra on belt always .

 

[DangerDog]

Just a curious question when carrying how many extra mags are y'all carrying?Or does it depend on whether you're carrying a full size pistol or sub compact or compact!

Normally I carry one 15 round mag plus the 10 round mag in my Glock27, but now I carry two 15 round mags and the 10 round in the Glock. Never know these days.

 

[ZigZagZeke]

For my CCW? Maybe one extra mag depending on how far I'm going, and where.

For home defense? My vest is always loaded with 9 mags, 30 each, plus 30 in the rifle.
