I have a Custom Hybrid Kydex/Leather holster for my G23/27.
I usually carry my spare mag in the pocket (if I ever have to deal with a chamber issue).
I have seen single and double mag holsters, IWB and OWB.
I have even read people using cell phone cases.
If I am carrying a G23 mag for backup, how many would you carry (1 or 2)? How do you recommend carrying it for the purposes of access to the mag (IWB or OWB)?

I carry my spare mag in a pocket mag holder.

I carry one spare mag on my off side. It is behind my cell phone that is clipped to my belt at about 10:00 o'clock. The mag is carried "Mexican", no pouch, with rounds and lip facing forward. The mag is tilted at a rearward angle. Access is by hooking the lip with my index finger, then grasping it as it comes out. I have no problems access wise, or with it dropping out. Access time is very good, with no sticking like in a mag pouch.

Varies for me. Most of the time in winter, I carry a spare G23 mag in a mag holder on my support side. In summer, when I carry my G27, I also carry one spare G22 mag with a slide on grip, usually in a hidden narrow pocket behind my support side cargo pocket. There are a few other options depending on how I am dressing but the only time I carry more than one spare mag is at the range and Front Sight.

I carry 1 spare mag with my G23. I'm comfortable with the 13+1 in the gun and 13 extra in the spare. With my 1911 I carry 2 mags. 8+1 in the gun and 8 each between the 2 spare mags. I use an OWB mag holder, no issues to report with it.Originally Posted by CDRGlock

I carry an extra magazine with my gun. When I use any kind of inside the pants or outside the pants belt holster, I always have a spare magazine case located on my dominant side beside the cellphone and the flashlight.

I always carry at least one spare mag for all of my Glocks. Usually it is my 27 with one spare mag in a DeSantis mag pouch on my support side, behind the hip. If the location calls for more ammo, I'll strap on the double mag pouch from Pure Kustom.

It is better to have your gun and not need it, than to need it and not have it!

I carry two spare mags for my Beretta 92FS on my belt on my weak side in a mag pouch horizontal. I is not as tall that way and it snaps open with the brush of my hand.

Has a car never failed you in any way when all of the sudden a tire gives out? Going by that same philosophy I'd be left stranded and waiting for a tow-truck by the side of the interstate somewhere!
Magazines DO fail, and Murphy will guarantee that it fails at the worst possible moment if you allow for it!
