How many back up Mags?

[cowboykjohnson]

one extra mag for the .45 on my hip, with one mag in the gun... and one mag in my LCP as a B.U.G.

One extra mag for my G23 plus my S&W 642 as a BUG. If i'm going on extended trips, or very questionable areas (which I try not to frequent if at all possible), i'll add another mag for the Glock and maybe a speed loader for the Smith. I have no plans of getting into any type of a war with my handguns, however stranger things have happened. If I can comfortably carry the extras, then why not. Call me crazy, but I just call it prepared.

Heh, I thought you could get a Nemesis pocket holster that was made for one mag instead of a pocket pistol or revolver.

Also if you have a cloth leatherman pouch, you can throw a mag in their on your belt and no one is the wiser.

Wulf, I've seen people talk about using those cheapo, one size fits all, leather cell phone holsters. I suspect no one would be the wiser for that either.\

BadShot, I've never really had a mag related failure on my carry gun. Doesn't mean it couldn't happen or course.

I occasionally leave a 1911 mag in my back pocket with the ammo facing down... nobody ever notices.

Same here, and exactly why I've got that spare mag. Not to mention, if I haven't corrected the situation in 28 rounds, I guess I won't be the one correcting it after all

At least on back up magazine. My wife carries 2 in her purse when we are together.

So I have 53 rounds of 45 ACP goodness in the event SHTF and I have to use my CCW

[glock74]

I have a glock 19 and I carry 1 extra mag. I'll carry 2 extra mags if I use my shoulder holster.

[Hoosier]

remember you can always use a Glock 17 magazine as your 2nd with the new sleeve for your 19 or 26.

Huh, I've done this for years without using a sleeve on the magazine. Is the sleeve a permanent attachment to the magazine, or can you remove it again?

Its not permanent, it is held in place by tension with a small allen head screw on the back. It can be removed at any time, but will generally leave a mark on the back of the mag where the screw came in contact with it.
