My question is a two-part thought.
First, do you carry extra magazines? What is the capacity of your carry gun?
Personally, I carry a full size XD9, which holds 16+1. I have not been carrying a spare magazine, mostly along the lines of if I need more than 17 rounds, it must be a REALLY bad day. (I am thinking the odds are along the lines of winning the lottery.)
I also haven't really found a comfortable method of carrying a spare magazine. The mag holsters that came with my XD are not really what I want to use for everyday carry. I would prefer something that is easy to put on, hard to be removed, and securely holds the magazine with some form of retention, be it a flap or whatever.
Secondly, if you do carry a spare mag or two, do you do so when you conceal carry?
I currently do not ever conceal carry, but I am considering adding it to my repertoire. There have been certain situations where concealed carry would have been a bit more effective than open carry.
I will most likely purchase the Crossbreed, since I hear many good things about it, and it seems that it would fit my needs.
My quest is how do I carry the spare magazine while conceal carrying?
