Nailed it! Although, I had forgotten that the G27 was normally 9+1. I tried the Pearce grip extender, but didn't like it and traded for a standard 9 round mag with someone at a range that I let try mine and they liked it.AJSully421 wrote:LDB415 wrote:Why carry 10+1 in the gun with each gun rather than a full capacity magazine in the gun and the 10 round as the second backup? For that matter why not have 3 full capacity magazines when carrying?
For the G27, 10 rounds is actually with a +1 mag extension. It can only hold that number in a standard mag. His backup mags are Glock 22 mags.
For the .45, I can only assume it is a Glock 30 with full size G21 mags as backup.
There would be little point in carrying a Glock 27 with a G22 mag sticking out the bottom of it. May as well carry a G22.

Re: Why one cop carries 145 rounds of ammo on the job
Hopefully, at some point, that doctor learned why he was shot so many times. Because he wouldn't stop.
When I carried a Glock 27 I carried 41 rounds all the time (2x15 spares and 10+1 in the gun). Since switching to .45's, I have 37 rounds all the time (2x13 spares and 10+1 in the gun). I can't imagine even carrying double that and logistically don't have anywhere to carry them anyway. I do have an extra box of 50 JHP in the truck, but it would have to be loaded into a mag. Still don't bring along a rifle, although I might if I had a bigger trunk that I could put a secure box into to keep it in. Maybe the next car will have that. If that ever happens I may top the officer's 147 rounds total.
