carry an extra clip/mag
Always--Extra mag for the Glock 36 and speed strips for the S&W 642 and 696. Its like having a spare tire in the trunk. Never know when you will need it. Or it can be called redundant safety equipment.

While I don't expect to ever need more than the 10 rounds in my XD9sc, being prepared for the unexpected is why I carry in the first place. Therefore, I also have a spare mag on me and one in the car.

I voted no, I dont carry anything that requires a clip, those are all safe queens.
It is of most importance to carry a reload for your carry gun. Most of the time they come in the form of a magazine when talking about semi automatics.

Two things that Clint Smith says that I agree with: one is none, and two is one; I'd hate to die from the lack of firing back.
Always two on the weak side, and if I have to go somewhere I don't like, another behind the gun. I would carry more, but I need to buy more mags. |

I answered yes, even though my bottom-feeder is magazine fed.

I can't answer this poll because it depends on which gun and which holster I carry that day.

I don't carry any clips, but I do carry atleast one though most often two reserve magazines.
Reason being not so much for though of need toward that much ammo but just to use to top off from and/or in the event of a failure I'm not going to under the gun try to tech the magazine or rounds. I'd simply dump the magazine, rack the slide to clear, and reload from a fresh. Much quicker and easier and most productive. - Janq

I carry an extra magazine on my person and one in the truck. One shouldn't prepare for a 2-shot, 3 second gun battle. Too many variables can throw that scenario out the window. It's better to be prepared for a longer engagement and pray it never happens than plan for a quick encounter and get caught in a problem (i.e. mag failure, run out of ammo, etc.). Someone (who has since decomposed) said it is better to have and not need than to need and not have.
