I added several more for my SIG - managed to get three ex LE 15's and from another forum, a member sold me 2 20's he had which were unused - these are all factory. I did get some crappy eagle mags for use in IDPA - well, they are about Ok but certainly not good enough for carry - you get whatcha pay for!
The std SIG mag's that came with gun are a pain - only 10 rounders for starters but with two of them, may as well call 'em nine rounders. I defy about anyone to get a 10th in!
I managed to get a whole load of Argentinian mags for my BHP - they all work great. So - I think I have 10 for that and the SIG, including the smaller mags, totals 8.
For sure there needs to be some plan for redundency - Murphy factors even! For carry I rarely carry more than one spare 15 - I also have a large crap burden - just too much stuff. Only add a third mag if going somewhere very much higher and obvious risk, if unavoidable.
I have a boatload of speedloaders but having found Comp 1 and Comp 2 loaders to be best - have all but retired all my HKS..... tho they do work, after a fashion. two Comp's tho for carry are fine.
I would agree, a new gun should ship with more than 2 mags - three should be minimum.
