No I do not If I can't get it done with the ten in the gun I shouldn't have started shooting any way. If you follow the logic that more is always better shouldn't you be carrying a rifle also.

Clip vs magazine, it sure gets some posters toasted. As I am seated here at my computer looking at a gun magazine or I mean literature, I read that the Worlds largest seller of 22lr guns does indeed have "clip" for their guns. I read "comes with 4-shot clip and an extra 7-shot clip" On this page, I see it described at least 4 times that way.

They designed it and made it, so I suppose they can call it what they want.

If you really need something to complain about, why not the texted message style of writing that some posters do!

I follow the logic that the magazine is the weak link in the equation. Magazines fail, and at the worst possible moments.

I also follow the logic that I may be attacked by more than one lone bad guy. Wolves usually travel in packs.

The one and only time I may ever need my gun, I may be facing 3 or more bad guys.

With the opportunity to being able to legally carry a concealed weapon, I just don't see the logic in being short sighted.

JMO, YMMV

Just another example of what "could" happen... I have personally seen experienced Officers in a high stress combat shooting training facility eject fully loaded magazines in the heat of battle! So I figure if they could do that under stress, I'm going to consider the odds and always carry at the very least one spare!

I have also had one occassion a couple years ago where I had returned to my parked truck to discover the magazine from my Glock 23 laying on the seat! DOH!

I do carry an extra mag, but I'd say it is out of habit more than anything. If I cant hit 'em with the first 11...I should be runnin'

I always carry an extra mag. I keep one good to go in a mag holder that fits in my left rear pocket on the outboard side. Rocky from our forum makes these and I highly recommend them. I now have several for my 1911 magazines.
