    Sure thing! When you get to that point, or even for the current gun you are carrying, use coupon code TGT to get 10% off your order!

    I need to pick up one of the Wildnerness Tactical belt pouches as I like to look at the other options available. But curious, have you ever had an issue with the mag falling out or just feeling loose?

    Thanks for the code, will definitely consider it. No, the belt pouch holds the mag very securely and will mold to your particular magazine. But you have to orient it with a belt loop to ensure it stays put.

    99.99% of all civilian involved shootings are resolved in 5 rounds or less. If you have to reload once its rare, reloading twice is unheard of. If you're in a situation you need multiple reloads you should be trying to retreat and get to your vehicle or somewhere more arms are available. I carry 1 magazine. If I am reloading that magazine I'm retreating to my vehicle where I have a plate carrier with an AR15 and 6 magazines.

    Since this time of year I am typically wearing nothing but a loin cloth and Tiva sandals, I just duct tape a couple of extra mags to the upper part of my thigh. No pictures. Well, I guess I can post a picture of the Tiva Sandals.

    The rest of the time when I can be bothered to wear pants I carry one spare mag on the belt and several in my backpack when I am traveling for work.

    I might have thought the same years ago. People have gone mad. Our immigration security is a joke. With that said and without typing a book, it’s not crazy to have body armor and a rifle. There’s more people that would commit a crime than wave or say hello. Generation of criminals.

    Is it just me or no one thinks about jams ftf fte or catastrophic failure on edc weapons
    In my mind fte ftf Isa automatically a mag drop clear. On a retreat. Is what I carry for
    Or if protection of a innocent. But after that it's clear that scene.
    Vacate the premises
    But aside said ftf fte you gonna need more ammo.

    That is one of the main reasons I carry a backup. Of course it's going to happen fast so who knows if I'll have time for that. I figure one mag is not taking up a burdensome amount of space and I'd rather have that than nothing.

    Hell I used to carry a G19 with a G17 mag in reserve so I've scaled back on what I'm carrying these days.
