I cannot recall off the top of my head but in Houston there have been multiple robberies of Denny's where there were multiple gunmen. I would avoid any involvement if possible but if there was a threat to my family I would have to react. In that scenario I would be a lot more comfortable knowing I had spare mags, especially if they had long guns. I guess carrying spare mags is kind of like buying self defense insurance, you hope you never need it but when you do you sure are glad you had it.SA_Steve wrote:Curious, anyone ever heard of a licensed handgun carrier in a situation that required extra ammo ?
There is always a first time I suppose and no one should experience needing it and not having it.

No problems at all.One Shot wrote:Ever have any reliability issues shooting those G20 Mags in the 29? I can't get mine to feed reliably (old style, new lined mags or either with the adapter that fits on the end of the G20 mag).mrvmax wrote:I always do, normally two extra. I started carrying a G29 (I love 10mm) and normally I carry two spare mags for my G20 with the 29. That gives me 41 rounds of 10mm ammo for my EDC. I will carry one more mag if I happen to be wearing cargo shorts since I can drop an extra mag in my cargo pocket. If I am travelling I will carry all my spare mags loaded with me in the vehicle and usually a long gun too. I run across numerous people that will only carry their firearm and no extra ammo, I have even talked to some that will only carry a two shot derringer with no extra ammo. I like to be prepared for the worse and hope that I will never need any of it.

Re: Do you carry spare magazines?
OK, so far compared to everyone else it appears I tend to carry more ammo, I was expecting more people to carry two spare mags. I guess due to the fact that many kydex mag carriers are for two mags I figured that was more popular.

I always do, normally two extra. I started carrying a G29 (I love 10mm) and normally I carry two spare mags for my G20 with the 29. That gives me 41 rounds of 10mm ammo for my EDC.
