How many mags do you carry?

[jaysong]

I extra 8 round on belt at 8:00. Hopefully 16 rounds of 45ACP is enough, but I hope I never find out.

thanks for all the responses. Cobb where did you get the mag holders?

The more rectangle one on the left is a stock item from Milt Sparks and called "PCH-M".

The bat wing looking one on the right was made by Gary Brommeland at my requests and is not a stock item for him.

Just an observation,,,,If you need 65 rounds on you at a time (unless you are in a combat situation) there may be some marksmanship issues....

I carry 16 in my M&P full size 40 and 1 extra 15 round magazine on my wilderness belt.

Welcome Zerwas, good first post.

Or not so much a marksmanship issue, but an occupational situation.

Welcome Zerwas.

I have never heard anyone that Won a confrontation say “man I wish I didn’t have so much ammo.” Not saying it hasn’t happened.

Welcome to the forum. My primary is a M&P 40 compact and now just need to get the full size.

One in the weapon and the other in my front left pocket in one of these.

Srigs,

Can you make something like this? I'd be most interested in a single stack version. I imagine that the double stack would be popular too.

I hear ya, and I understand what you are saying. I just think having 65 rounds on your body is kind of unrealistic for everyday carry. Talk about being weighed down . I guess I would just make sure one of the first 30 rounds would hit the bad guy in a vital area and stop the threat.

I know where he can borrow an example to maybe use as a guide.

Especially if you intend to shoot the Steel Shoots. I shoot them with my MP40C because that's what I carry but it's incredibly tempting to beg, borrow, or buy a full size for the longer sight radius, longer grip, and higher capacity.

Everyday carry is different for everyone, and there is a chance Ace smokes crack. Are you assuming there is only one bad guy?

When working executive protection i like to have both of my M&P's on me. And one of them sits in my Galco Miami classic which has a dual mag holder on it in which two mags sit providing 30 rounds, and i have a mag holder on my side with a spare for the compact. So if you figure with the gun there is 45 rounds right there.

I just like to have enough ammo

I like to think of multiple assailants and be prepared for them

As for my accuracy. I do pretty well in that dept as my steel shoot scores have shown that over the past year

And gunshop guy has seen my targets when i am at the range. I am shure he will vouch for my accuracy

[goalie]

5-shot J-frame and possibly a speed-strip if I think about it is what I usually carry.

When I carry an auto, I carry a spare mag (singular) not because I think I could ever need the ammo, but because you need another magazine to clear certain malfunctions.

Sure, there is a chance I could end up in a situation where I need more ammo. There is also a chance I could hit the powerball next time it goes over 100 million and I buy a ticket too.

You have been to the steel shoots. You see how we shoot.
