For you 1911 guys how many mags do you carry?

[PieterCoetzee]

I typically carry TWO spare mags even for a double stack 9 OR 5.7, so thats minimum 45 rounds (9mm) and 70 rounds for 5.7x28. Ive been toying with carrying a 1911 again. Carrying more than two spare mags seems excessive even for me; but 8+8+8 is only 24, so Im scratching my head

2 spares

I wanted a Milt Sparks Six Pack...

I only carry one of my .45's the Dan Wesson Valor, in a shoulder holster under my jacket. 8 round mags, one in the gun 2 extras.

All my other 1911's I consider collectables. So, no extra mags for them but what came with the gun.

Dang! I need one of those!!!
Okay make it two, don't want to be lopsided

Those plastic 9mm's are made for popping caps. The 1911 was made to put a bullet on target.
One extra mag should be plenty. When the threat is elevated, i do like to have another 2 mags handy.

The best alternative to the "Six Pack" that Ive come up with is from TUFF Products

They make them for single and double stack mags AND to hold different number of mags; but nylon and velcro just doesnt seem right for 1911 mags...

I was going to be a smart *** and say “all of them”….. and then I saw the pics above. Clearly, one can carry “all”!

 

[SL66]

Two.

 

[hworth18]

I usually only carry 1 extra mag, 2 if I'm going out of town or a sketchy area.

 

[RedGoat]

Two. One in each pistol!
