I've also got the WWB in the center console of my Ram. So, that makes 122 while in vehicle.

Default Re: How many spare mags do you carry?

Normally I carry two spare mags (10 rounds each) in my vest. It balances out the weight of the gun on the other side.

When I'm down to t-shirt and shorts it's only one spare in a smartcarry.

Default Re: How many spare mags do you carry?

Well, as PAPatriot pointed out, there are many variables. Im almost always in possession of 1 spare on my person - pretty rare that I dont have at least a spare on me. I keep another in each car, and sometimes have even more (Ive got 5 extras for my carry gun).

So it really depends on what your defining as "with you" as on your immediate person, or within arms reach.

For this poll Im assuming on your person, so I voted 1.

Default Re: How many spare mags do you carry?

13+1 .45 in the gun is sufficient for me. If I had a single stack I might carry a few spares. I can't picture myself in a situation where I've spent 14 rounds and I'm still pinned without an escape route. Though carrying spares in the car is something that never crossed my mind, I may do that.

What would you do in the event of a magazine related weapon failure?

Fire my one shot and switch to a secondary firearm. The idea of carrying spare guns appeals to me more than spare mags.

I carry 2 additional 12 rnd mags for my USP 40c... Just because it balances the weight out nicely on the waist
