The only distinction I make among my magazines for carry is the type of base. I carry my Colt Government Model with magazines with original style flat bases, as that makes the rig just a tiny bit smaller in the butt, which seems to make it print a little less. For spares, a pad is nice but either works.

Unreliable magazines are marked as such, segregated, and are not carried. Most of those are not for pistols I would carry for "crisis management in short range interpersonal conflicts".
