Carrying spare mags for a 1911

[Thegomezclan]

I will be getting my CHL soon and am thinking about carrying my 1911. I was wondering if and how many spare mags you guys that carry 1911 keep with you?

Do you carry them in your pocket or in a holder on your belt?

Traditionally you would carry two spares.

I think it's a carry over from carrying 2 speedloaders or dump pouches but I don't know when that started.

For a single stack I think 2 is plenty; most malfunctions can be traced back to or fixed expediently by a magazine change so always carry at least one spare.

It's a single stack 1911. You should carry 23 7 round magazines so you can reload like a mofo like on Way of the Gun.

I don't have to reload, I have one of the mags that doesnt run out.

I think they could make a tacvest that stores them all under a suit jacket...

Just wear one of these wherever you go

Look at the HiCap's. 14 rounds in one double stack magazine.

Hell what about 6 or seven of these on a belt or on a bandalier...

You'd definitely have to buy pants a size too big to conceal that thing.

I use ParaOrdnance products . . . P10 in the Summer and P13 when it's colder and I wear more clothing. I carry one P13 mag loose in an extra pocket that will fit either.
