    • day to day i do not. half the reason i got the cm9 was that i could carry it in my back right pocket and ppl havent been able to tell me which one is my gun and which is my wallet.

      then again i do always have ammo in my truck and some next to my bed where i keep the cm9. i figure in most cases youll only need a couple shots and its over. if i need more the 6 shots i carry should be enough to get me to my truck/room to grab my shotgun or more 9mm. if i was worried about having more ammo on my i would get a xdm subcompact with a 15-17rd mag and carry it

      • I always carry two mags

        I carry two 10 round Elephant Foot HK45CT spare mags.
        And have upgraded my 8 round mag in the gun to a 10 round too.

        • Elephant Foot, indeed!

          That must really aid in concealing the rest of the elephants!

          I think that my G23C with a 22-round mag could be more concealable!

          • Just for grins... not my most voluminous T-shirt... and I had to cant the rig a bit more... no belt, either. That was with one in the chamber and an empty 22-round mag. A full one would have dropped my shorts a lot lower... drawstring support system... usually just supporting my P380 in an Uncle Mike oldie holster.

            • I carry cross draw and can pack some heat if I want.
              Example P220 with 5.10" ported barrel and four 10 round extended reloads.

                • I carry an extra mag because I'd rather have it and not need it. Than need it and not have it.

                  • I try to mimic my local LEO and carry a basic load of two mags plus my CW. I also carry the same ammo (40 s&W gold dot) as my local LEO. Other than the capacity handicap comparing a T40 and a M&P 40, I am equipped the same. While I rarely carry a BUG, I will carry my T40 on my hip and a K40 in a shoulder rig if I am going to be in sketchy parts of town. Magazine interchangeability is a goooooood thing.

                        • Yes always carry an extra mag.

                          • Yes I do and speed strips for the snubnose.

                            • W/my S&W M&P 9c, sometimes (it's already 12+1, but I sometimes carry 1 or 2 spare mags depending upon dress & the situation).
                              W/my CM9, I always carry a spare mag (my best friend is a retired cop and he said after a gunfight he's never heard of anyone complaining about having carried too much ammo).
