Do you carry a spare magazine?

[pappy42]

Nope.

[windsearcher]

There wasn't a box for "not yet." ..... When carrying my G-23, I didn't carry a spare.

With my CW40, I feel very underpowered, and as soon as my spare mags arrive that have been ordered, I'll carry at least one... possibly two spare 6 rounders.

cw40, ur not under powered, maybe under loaded!!

[Chief Joseph]

I happened to have been given a Buck Knife years back by my late step dad that I never carried. My 7 round mag fits in it's carry case nicely, so I do carry a spare mag in my Buck case.

[windsearcher]

@ Jocko.... yeah... you're right... wrong words.... I feel VERY secure with a .40 along for the ride..... Just wish that my cw40 was as good as some of the guns they show on TV.... unlimited rounds which will knock a bad-guy through a window when they are hit!! :-D

I carry one spare six rounder in a mag packer.

[DKD]

first I must say that I carry 24/7, even while at home...just like putting on a pair of pants or a shirt, it's just a part of my wardrobe.
Usually I carry a spare magazine, but lately been over the road quite a bit and been carrying two spare magazines for my PM9.
Know when I go affot with my 45 ACP usually just one spare mag.

[LetZrock]

I Always carry at least one extra mag in my weak side pocket. Better safe than sorry.

I carry 2 spare six rounders for the PM9, but only to church. On the street, I'm okay with just one.

[bonjorno2]

yes, because it's a paper weight without it

[MikeyKahr]

Classic

Classic line, Willieboy. And I know it's the truth!

You know Mikey, at church, I feel a responsibility to protect the sheep. So many innocents including many children whom I love. I can envision a scenario in which multiple magazines could be required and may not be enough.

I'm an old guy who's had a full life. On the street, I would likely be protecting only myself. If I go down, it's not as big a deal, I'm insured.

By the way, a guy named Mikey gave me my first bloody nose. I was ten years old.

Being from Maryland I don't get to carry too much. But when I do, I'm sorta on both sides of the fence on this one:

* I strongly believe good shot placement is Rule #1. Rule #2 is see Rule #1. It doesn't matter who fires first, or who fires the most, but rather who hits what they want and where. Control under stress. I mentally prepare myself frequently, play "mind games" and "what ifs", and at the range practice like it were real life. So from that perspective I plan to never need a spare.

* On the other hand, Murphy and I are good friends, very good friends indeed. So when I do carry, I bring along a spare 'cause ya just never know... (And my spare is a normal 7-round standard magazine for my CW9. I don't want the grip and feel changing in the middle of a firefight (see Rule #1) just to get one extra round with the extended magazine.)

* But when I can *afford* a BUG (which will be the CM9) then I'll forego the spare magazine in favor of the BUG instead.

Totally understood, and I do the same in my responsibilities. I was only commenting that it was a "classic line" just looking at the line itself. Any casual reader to the forum, without knowing your background and responsibilities, would wonder why you go to a church where you need the extra magazine!!

I promise that it wasn't me. I'm probably young enough to be your nephew, maybe even grandson. On behalf of all Mikeys, I do ask for your forgiveness.

[Bawanna]

Agreed, probably a different Mikey. Maybe it was that cereal taster dude.
