How Much Extra Ammo?
Interesting article.
Quote:
Personally, I carry one in the pipe, a full mag in the well, and two spare mags for my 1911 Colt Combat Commander, the same amount of 'extra' ammo as I did when I was a LEO.

I appreciate this thought provoking post! More often than I care to admit, I leave the house with a whopping five rounds of .38 in my little pocket snub. I suppose the loaded speed strips and larger guns I tend to leave behind won't do me much good "if"

I used to carry 2 extra mags plus the 8 in the weapon. I've stopped carrying the extras: I need to start up again.

I usually carry one extra mag on me, three or four in console of car.
I grade my mags, since I have a few. Tripps and Wilsons are marked A+ on base in magic marker and they are evaluated on range trips to insure no malfunctions. These are the carry and the extra mags. A's and B's stay home or go to the range.

With my Beretta, I carry an extra mag so I have 25 total rounds. With the M&P9, I usually don't carry the extra mag of 17, but I rarely carry that one. It's a house gun now.
My wife usually has an erta mag with her Bodyguard.

I carry my RIA TCM 22 Mid Size, 17 rounds in the magazine and 1 in the chamber plus 1 additional 17 round magazine so 35 rounds total.
If I am in a situation where I need to fire that many rounds then I am in a situation that is out of my control!!!
