I'm in the same boat. 54 rounds of 9mm (for me) is quite comforting depending on the situation.jimlongley wrote:Depending on what I am carrying, I may have as many as a total of 54 rounds including what is loaded in the gun.
Or as few as 11.
But ALWAYS at least one extra magazine.
My EDC typically includes two extra mags in a Gould & Goodrich leather mag pouch. I carry a .380 most of the time so I view the extras as a necessity. I keep them on my left side, bullets forward.
That said, situation dependent, I'll carry a gun with a capacity of 6 and that's it. It really just depends on what I'm doing for the day but again most days it's two extras.
