One mag in my DeSantis Stealth holster plus I keep one box of ammo in the glove compartment.

Russ:

Do you find that carrying the spare mag on your strong side slows down relaods, or do you carry cross-draw???

Just curious...I've never tried stong side carry for the mags.

Sorry for the late reply, but I've been working.

Yes it slows down my reloads considerably!

Depends on the holster.

If it's my Smartcarry, I have a designated pocket so I can carry a full magazine for my Glock 19.

If I'm using my Crossbreed horsehide OWB I don't.

99% of the time I have my S&W mod 19 in OWB holster on right side and Kel-Tec .380 in the front pocket. With the weight I've been loosing it's hard enough keeping my pants up without adding more weight. I've dropped 4" off my waist in the last year thanks to diabetes and eating differently.
