How many rounds do you carry

[behiggie]

So I would just like to know how many rounds do you really carry?
I really like the looks of the glock 36 and I am of the opinion that there is very little that 7 rounds of 45 can't fix. Right now I carry a bursa thunder 9 that I only load 10+1 I just want to know what others think.

Oh if this is a repeat sorry I have searched and could not find a thread that addressed this

I carry a 9mm Sig p226 15+1 or my Springfield XDm-40 16+1. Both with Speer Gold Dot's. In a high stress environment I'd prefer to have more chances to hit the target personally.

I don't carry any extra mags with me as of now as I don't have anything nice to carry them in short of a pocket. I'll probably remedy that soon.

If I'm OC, 17+ 1 + 17 + 7 or 17 + 1 + 17 +5.

If I'm CC, generally either 10 + 1 + 5 or 10 + 1 + 7.

 

[DEWEY]

16+1 .40 Springfield XDm I like having plenty of ammo if things get a little hairy

 

[Bapak2ja]

17 +1 +17 for my Taurus 24/7 Pro.
7+1 +7 +7 for my Taurus 709 Slim.

 

[Spikedog]

I feel bad I just carry what's in the mag or cylinder. 7+1 or 5.

 

[the1kidd03]

9mm 15+1, spare 15= 31

 

[Mr.JAG]

95% of the time... I'm only carrying 6+1 of 9mm (Kahr CM9).

Occasionally I carry an extra 8rnd mag, or a larger pistol... but not real often.

 

[T-Mann]

Depends:

LC9 7+1
2075 10+1
SP101 5 (+5 on a rare occasion)

 

[dbd870]

25

 

[youngda9]

10+1 if I'm carrying my M&P40c. Never carry a spare mag.

6+1 if I'm carrying my PM9.

5 plus 7 in a belt pouch if I'm carrying my SP101 3".

5 plus 7 in a belt pouch if I'm carrying my 696 3".

I will be honest that often I don't know. When I unload I'll take the round of of the chamber and stick it in the safe. Alternating carry weapons means the four rounds I have out came from both guns. I start with 16 in the XD9 or XD9SC.

After seeing the Sanford Florida thing it's probably a good idea to know how many rounds I have at all times.

G36 does look and feel cool, but the XS(s)45 is coming out. Same effect but without the glock imprint

 

[Hoosierdood]

I carry 15+1 in my M&P 40. I rarely carry an extra mag.

 

[wtfd661]

No matter which gun I am carrying, I always carry 2 reloads for the time Mr. Murphy might want to drop in (and we know he always drops in at the wrong time )

I ALWAYS carry a spare mag, because as everyone who carries a semi-auto pistol knows, a mag change is the quickest, surest way to clear a malfunction

 

[jve153]

On me right now is my MP 9mm compact. In it is 12+1. I two 17 round mags in my pocket so that's 47. Two more 12 Rounders in the car. My pocket has. 380 bodyguard 6+1 plus one spare for total 13 rounds in .380

 

[possum_128]

Whatever gun I'm carrying plus at least one reload. If semi, full mag =1 and a spare mag, if revolver full load plus a reload.

Remember, no one who has ever been in a gun fight ever said they wished they had less ammo. The only time you might have too much is if you are sinking or are on fire.

 

[Skywired]

Guess I'm a minamalist....empty chamber and 6 in the mag. Maybe I oughta rethink the situation.

Yes you should. Put one in the chamber, 6 in the magazine. If you need the gun do you have time to rack the slide to chamber a round?

 

[behiggie]

I guess my thinking is that if I can't hit something in 10 rds. then I don't need to be shooting at it. I do get the extra mag for clearing purposes I had not really thought about that.
Thanks for all the opinions
