It's wise to keep immediate response items in your door storage slot next to your seat with some things such as
>a torniquet and more medical equipment
>spare magazines loaded with what you already carry
>spare flashlight/batteries

I carry a Glock 19 and have a combined total of 6 spare 15rd reloads in my car.
>>
>>33203028
Carry a spare mag in my pocket, doesn't take too much room so it isn't a problem. I don't bother with any spares in the car, but it doesn't hurt. Getting a spare mag stolen isn't a huge deal if something happens, and I could see how if you were cornered or something it could give you an extra edge to getting yourself to safety.

>>33203210
I enjoy carrying the SK in 9. I would only carry the full sized P2000 in .40, I feel that the .40 would be too snappy with its light polymer frame in a subcompact firearm with minimal grip. That said, others will argue 'hurr bitch wrists' but in the end you want that 10+1 since you're limited on ammo anyway. Even with a spare mag, at that point might as well carry a P938 if you're going to have 8 rounds in the mag.
>>
>>33203221
That stock photo shows a 7 year old pistol you nutwad.

I was looking at the full size one, now way am I getting 40 in the SK model.

Did you get yours with the LEM trigger?

Why would you carry more than one spare mag?
If you're not a mobster, terrorist or drug dealer then you just shoot to get out of a situation and let the cops take over.

I carry a PT111MG2 and 4 spare magazines whenever I walk out the door. No exceptions. Ever.

Really doesn't matter if I do or not, everybody else here is a walking armory and we don't have nignogs here, so crime is virtually nonexistent... save the occasional illegal Mexican or a dumbass honkey.

Yes. For two reasons.

1. Malfunctions. Should you suffer a malfunction it's a much smarter idea to insert a fresh magazine instead of using the same magazine the gun had the malfunction with. Now it's POSSIBLE that the original magazine had absolutely nothing to do with the malfunction. But better safe than sorry.

2. "Firepower". I carry a G19. Round in the chamber (of course) with the magazine topped off along with 2 G17 magazines. If 50 rounds of Federal HST 147GR +P doesn't get me back to my car or out of the bad situation I'm in then I'm likely fucked anyways.

>TL;DR: yes OP carry at least one spare mag for malfunction clearance if nothing else.

I carry a revolver, so no. There's a pretty low chance you'll ever need to fire your carry piece to begin with, and then there's an even lower chance you'll fire more than a few rounds.

Your response will be that you should prepare for the worst situation possible, and my response to that is, what brand of helmet do you wear to be prepared for a tree branch falling on your head and killing you? Because that's far more likely than being attacked by a squad of murderers.

I carry two spare mags, three in total.
Two 6 round mags filled w/ hollow points, and one 7 round mag w/ FMJ 124 grain. As far as car guns go, I have two spare guns in my car. One is a CC for when I get off my job (they don't allow CCW's on our person or in the building) so I can throw it in a pocket, and comfortably carry. Other pistol is a Glock 34. Never know if you'll ever need extra firepower (especially when you work in a not so nice neighborhood), I'd rather be over-prepared than under-prepared. Reason I don't carry my primary CCW in my vehicle is because it's expensive, and the two car guns combined price is still several hundred bucks lower than my main CCW. Plus should the need somehow arise, I can arm two other people w/o disarming myself.

TL;DR
carry as many mags as you feel comfortable with. Statistics show you'll only use about 3-5 rounds in a shooting. I feel better having more.
>>
>>33207737

So what brand is your falling-object preparedness helmet?

if your gun is concealed how the fuck would they know? I used to work at a large IT company. Ask me if I saw the sign on the front door, go on ask me.

Dress code. no way for me to comfortably carry any of my current firearms. But, I will be getting a two shot derringer, or a small .22lr revolver to carry at work.
>>
>>33208395
Everyone on /k/ thinks they are going to get raped by a gang of melanin enriched gentleman or stop a terrorist.
If you shoot someone in self defense they will see that you had 2+ mags on you and more in your vehicle and push the "anon is a mall ninja looking to use his firearm" narrative. If you cannot defend yourself with 17+1 or less then you should not carry.
>>
>>33208437
>dress code
lol do you work at a fucking car wash? Tuckable appendix rig with an m&p shield or something.

That or a doctor's note. You just got yourself an embarrassing hip mounted medical device and your shirt has to be untucked to accommodate.

>>33203028

I always carry 2 reloads. It's not inconvenient in any way, so why not? I just wear a double mag carrier on my belt. isn't uncomfortable at all, and I feel a bit more at ease knowing I've got more ammunition if I need it. might be worth mentioning.... I carry OWB and just wear a cover garment. mag carrier and holster are both fobus paddle so very, very convenient and easy to just grab them and slap them on, on the way out the door. cover garment is non-issue during summer. it gets crazy hot here, (90+ with 100%+ humidity) but wearing a cover garment made out of the right material actually keeps you cooler than just a t-shirt.

the fuck would you know about it? I'm in West Wood and I'm telling you there are shots fired and gang fights out here at least once a week, just off harrison ave. Most of the time the police are never called, so the "official" crime rate isn't anywhere near a reflection of the reality here. we nearly had a full blown BLM chimpout a few months ago. thankfully the mother of the dead kid calmed the crowd down as police were moving in.

we also have full blown race riots every few years. no joke. usually doesn't get media attention but has made nation news a few times.

yeah, cinci sucks. not much here other than assholes, sears tower, and an over confident population of culturally enriched individuals.

>don't walk into riots

you've apparently never been in one. one minute you're driving down the street, and next your knee deep in the shit. you'd be surprised how fast these things can happen.

I got caught in downtown back in 2001 when "the big one" happened. was stuck in a closed up liquor store with the owner, his son, and a few others that made it in. two of us were packing and shots were fired when nogs started trying to smash their way in.

i don't think we actually hit anybody, and the police didn't make much of it. lots of armed store owners were doing the same thing.

>>33204334

this and/or carry a secondary/tertiary pistol. rather than clearing a malfunction or putting in a spare mag generally just pulling the secondary will be faster. generally the understanding of having a cc/carry pistol is to get you to the car where you have a rifle/shotgun/smg/rocket launcher/horse dildo/whatever the hell

not that movies are any kind of authority, but a good example would be the fog scene in the beginning of Insomnia (2002)
