I cheat! I carry a Taurus PT709SS 9mm w/7+1 plus spare magazine, and I pocket carry a TCP-738 .380 w/6+1 plus spare magazine. Both guns and spare magazines are loaded with Federal Premium HydraShok JHP +P rounds. If some BG can take all of that and still want to cause trouble, then I'll beat him to death with my Arkansas Hickory-Root cane!:laugh:
Let's see: In the 1911 45 caliber 8+2 spare mags =24 And in the PT92 9mm 17+ 2 spare mags of 17ea.= 51 guess it depends on what neighborhood I'm traveling in at the time.:biggrin:
Pretty much the way I feel. Since my mags are 10 rd, I load +1, but 21 rounds had better get me OUT of the situation, or in reach of another higher capacity, higher powered gun.
My 2 carry guns are a .40 S&W, 6 in the mag, and i carry one extra mag. The other is a snubnose .357. I keep it loaded with 6 38 +P+, and a speedloader with .357s.
My bedside gun is a Taurus model 92 with 2 15 rd mags, and one 30 rd mag.
PRHI restricts magazine capacity to 10 rounds. When permitted by law, I will carry my standard capacity 13 round magazines (Glock 23) and spare 15 round magazines.
