ExactlyMyPoint

I have read a lot of threads about how many rounds people carry, how many magazines, how to carry all that stuff, etc, etc, etc. But life is just way too complicated, so I am trying to simplify my life.

Here is a picture of the current way I carry. A Glock 26 with a standard magazine that holds 10. Generally no extra mag on my belt. If I wear a jacket, I throw one in my pocket.





However, there are those that think that 10 rounds is not enough.

So here is a picture of my solution. Am I printing? Can you tell?



What you see is my cute, little Glock 26 with a 33 round magazine. Me thinks that should be enough.







Ya. I know. I have way too much time on my hands and I am addicted to DC.

Doesn't look visible standing up but if you bend over that magazine's going to look like you've got a tail growing out of your spine.

No it's your fat that makes you look fat

Actually, dnowell is right with his assessment

For most folks, myself included, carrying a spare magazine is rarely about the perceived need for more ammo than what's in the gun, it's a safeguard against a magazine related failure that would otherwise render your weapon a paperweight. Broken mag springs, base plate flies off, etc. it's all about anticipating Mr. Murphy - which is why we carry in the first place.

The only time I carry spare ammo because I feel I "might" need more than what's in the gun is when I carry my 5 shot j-frame.

As far as the pics go: It looks like your cell phone/blackberry prints more than your pistol with either mag in place, seems like you're doing well concealing that 26. I still have days when it feels like my 19 might as well be glued to my forehead for as much as it prints - thankfully, the general masses aren't very observant.

If you're not careful, you'll end up puttin' somebody's eye out with that thing.

I really recommend that you consider a smart carry for the mag.....

A mag like that surely needs its own leg holster.

My spare mag is for a mag related failure more than a fear of me running out of ammo.

If my mag fails then my pistol is a poorly designed rock.

I use to carry my G26 OWB whenever I had a jacket on, and a P3AT 380 in my pocket the rest of the year.

But the nice citizens of this forum have educated me on style and show me that having a shirt untucked is “in chic” so what the heck; I carry my G26 almost all the time now.

And I leave that nice little 30 shot G18 magazine in the car.

Kind of figure that 10 rounds should help me find my way back to the car.
