My Glock 30S uses a Glock 21 mag with a PearceGrip +2 baseplate so I have 15+1 in .45
if that well runs dry...
my pocket BUG is a Glock 26 with a Glock 17 mag with a PearceGrip +3 base plate for 20+1 rounds of 9mm
if that well runs dry...
I have my 5-1/2" blade & a small tactical flashlight
I live in a smaller town now,
if it grows into the Houston/Austin size like where I moved from, I may start carrying a "reload" again
wait...
yeah, that should get me to the car where there's two 30 round 9mm mag "reloads" & hopefully that'll get me home.

Re: How Many Reloads Should A Private Citizen Carry?

M&P Shield (with Taran mag extension) is an extremely capable pistol as either primary or secondary. I had no problem shooting a perfect score on the Army Pistol Qualification with one.

Mas makes some good arguments for carrying a spare magazine, but those same arguments are even better arguments for carrying a backup gun.

I may be the exception, but I have met many folks who were involved in gunfights and I have never heard them say. “I just had too much extra ammo.” I have and always will carry at least one reload as a 1911 guy I usually have two.
In the military context that is an absolute truth. Running out of ammo before the enemy is a good way to get yourself killed.

:cheers2: Years ago I carried 2 reloads... today I'd rather carry a backup gun.
