once a co-worker of mine told he was harassed by 10 black youths on bikes(my co-worker is white) at night and calling him the n word, i now made the conscious decision to carry my extra mag. Now i have 30 rounds with me at all times when i carry.
I want to know if anyone else carries an extra mag when they conceal carry.
Ditto what Fred_G said. Mostly in case of mag malfunction. If I have to go through 18 rounds and still need more, I’m having a really bad day. Scotty has managed to beam me to Falujah.
When being trained for a conceal carry the instructor said to always carry an extra clip.
malfunctions, multiple targets. It’s not like the movies where they stop with one shot. Then he even commented that two extra clips isn’t unheard of, guess it depends on the area you live in. I have an extra clip on me.
I have a 32 round spare I am taking with me next week and 300 rounds of ammo , just in case. I just ordered 2 more 32 round mags. You do know that you can carry 192 rounds in each back pocket of your blue jeans
I carry one extra always. 2 if I’m going more than 75 miles from home. Like others have stated, most malfunctions can be handled with a mag change. If I’ve run 27 rounds(9 in the gun +8 round+10 round) of .45 hollow points, and there’s still danger, then, I’m searched for a long gun to continue fighting with.
As mentioned in the other referred to similar thread above, I carry an extra magazine (not a clip). The first 2 rounds are CCI snake shot as we have a lot of rattlesnakes here in central Texas.
Almost every car manufactured has a spare tire, why would you not carry a spare mag?
I carry 3 spares on my person and at least 100 extra rounds in vehicle! Better to have them and not need them…
