While possibly not "necessary" I like to err on the side of good scout and be prepared. In the defensive pistol class I try to attend monthly one thing we practice is "tactical reloads". Guns are "machines" and while they typically run just fine you don't want to be caught with an issue at a bad time. Often if there is a "feed problem" you have to drop the mag. I would much rather be able to drop it entirely and clear, grab the next one than try to clear a jam while holding my 1/2 empty mag in my hand.

I admit I am not always good at carrying my 2nd, and used to think if I "need more than 6 I shouldn't be there" .... well if I need ANY I will wish I weren't there, but would rather be ready!
