How many spare magazines are you guys carrying on you? I always carry at least one, in case the mag in the gun goes down.
How does your loadout differ when CCW'ing to when you're training or preparing for come-what-may?
When I carried a 1911 I made sure to carry two spares due to the limited capacity. Now that I'm carrying a M&P9 I carry one spare.
What say you?

I always have at least 2 on me, and often a couple of extra's in the truck. For catastrophic events, if I have a handgun on, 2-4 on the belt, with a couple of extra's in the pack.

For training/preparing I have 2 on the belt and more in the pack.
When CCing I carry 1 spare for my pf9, though I don't really have a better way than keeping it in the back pocket....
However, in fancy clothes wear (events, dates, etc..) I can only swing the .25 Jetfire(if I want it easily accessible), though I should probably track down a spare...

Always carry one spare mag when off duty. On duty at least 2 spares. I always have extras stocked close by and I even have a bandoleer that holds 5 spares for my duty gun should I need for an active shooter or similar encounter.... (Thanks UWGear for building me that one!  ) |

I carry a G23, no spare mags. I always wear t-shirts and I am pretty skinny, so carrying the G23 is about as much as I can carry and still effectively conceal. I feel that adding a spare mag just puts it over the top for me as far as concealment goes.

Not even a spare thrown in your pocket? I'd still consider carrying one more mag no matter what kind of gun I was packing just in case... Just a thought.

In my front pockets I have keys, phone, and sunglasses. Not really a fan of having packed pockets and if I put it in a back pocket I would have to take it out anytime I sat down.

I felt that way about back pockets, but have since gotten used to sliding it vertical and over to the outside when I sit down. However, I can see how pocketing g23 mags would be cumbersome, especially since they are significantly thicker than my whole cc pistol. Maybe an IWB mag pouch? I'll give this a whirl when I get an IWB for my PX4.

I feel I am too skinny to run anything else IWB and it not be noticeable. I am 6'1" and about 158 lbs. I carry my G23 at 4 to 5 o'clock and it is completely concealed, but I think an IWB mag may put it over the top and become noticeable. Though, it may be worth a try. Maybe I'll pick up a RCS mag carrier, if it doesn't work out then I'm sure I can sell it without issue.

If you wear proper jeans, then you always have a spar mag pouch on you, in the form of the watch pocket.

I'm with hwi. I have not found the right mag holder or the right place to carry a spare with the clothes I like to wear. I carry my G19 or G23 either IWB appendix or OWB in the 4 o'clock position. My iPhone is usually on my left side belt clip and wallet in left rear, small pocket knife in left front and my larger folder fighting knife in my right front. I usually have spares in my vehicle and if I'm in MY car I have my sub2000 with four thirty-threes and a couple G17 mags.
For a catastrophic event I have one in the Glock, two G17 mags on my battle belt and depending in the mission some extra in the pack, maybe the 33s if needed.

Has anybody here had any experience with the Moduloader Systemfrom from Raven Concealment? Certainly a more pricy option, but the certainly seem like very versatile one. |

I don't usually carry a spare mag but it's certainly not a bad idea. Best way I've found to carry one is in the back pocket of my BDU/ACUs. I sewed a vertical seam on the left side of the left rear pocket. Keeps the mag upright and accessible while keeping it out of the way when I sit. I don't think it'd really work with jeans but I never wear them so I don't know. Really the only reason I don't carry an extra more often is because I've been lazy and haven't sewn the mag pocket into the pockets of all my pants yet. Training loadout varies depending on training subject. Most common would be 6-10 extra rifle mags and 2 extra pistol mags.
