How many CCW Mag would you carry??

[Huskybiker]

It depends which gun(s) I'm carrying, and where I'm going. If it's the SW9VE, one extra mag is plenty (34+1). If it's the PF-9, two extras (21+1). If it's the Rossi 462, two speed loaders (18). And no matter which of the three is on my belt, the 85UL in my pocket will have one extra (10). So, normally I've got between 28 & 45 rounds.

Have you ever fired a round and got a FTF? I've watched people whose mags lost the baseplate and ejected all of their rounds, spring, and follower WITHOUT the shooter noticing until it Failed To Fire. YMMV

Never with any gun I owned or the Marine Corps "loaned" me. I suppose it is an offshoot of proper care and maintenance.

... and the shooter NEVER noticed? Now THAT'S what I call "situational awareness"! LOL!

Wait, I lied (unintentionally). A couple of years ago I found that the last round in one of my mags for a little .25 cal pocket pistol I purchased back in '80 did a nose dive back into the mag every time I tried to fire with it. After certain efforts to remedy the problem with that mag, to no avail, I just chucked the turkey and was lucky enough to find a replacement at a gun show.

ASIDE from that one instance, my original post stands. (Embarrassment!)

(Never could understand why that mag and not any others. I could detect absolutely NO difference in any of them. In fact, the last time I tried to fire it at the range, I had to mark the defective one, being indisinguishable from the other two otherwise.)

I generally carry 1 or 2 spare mags.
