Concealed carrying daily requires preparation, planning, and a few compromises.
One of those challenges is what size gun you’ve got the option to carry.
So normally I grab my Hellcat instead.
Its small and compact and still can carry 16 rounds with the 15-round magazine and one in the chamber.
Still, is 16 rounds enough?
Hell, is 23 rounds even enough?
Recently, there was an officer-involved shooting about 20 miles from my home.
During that shooting, the officer was rushed by a suspect with two knives.
The suspect had just stabbed a guy at a gas station and was on the run.
He came running out of his car trying to kill the officer.
She ended up firing 26 rounds total with 19 hits.
The suspect died on the scene.
Most people would have probably missed in a similar situation.
Therefore, I always carry an extra magazine on me as I want as many rounds as possible available.
There is nothing wrong with having more than you might need, just in case.
A New Approach
At least one extra magazine should be a vital part of your EDC kit.
Practically all magazine pouches have the same idea.
They clip on your belt or attach onto your holster.
The Mag Pouch is made from carbon fiber-reinforced nylon, which is very lightweight and strong.
The patented locking design holds onto your pocket tightly and will not come off unless you want it too.
The ExtraCarry Mag Pouches are completely ambidextrous, making them perfect for either right or left pocket carry.
The design is simple and effective making carrying an extra magazine easier than ever before.
Hellcat Options
The company offers firearm-specific pouches that are precision-fit to your exact magazine.
I picked them up for all of my Hellcat magazines, so I have some options.
Daily carry of an extra magazine has never been easier.
I also picked up one of the newUniversal 9mm pouches from ExtraCarry.
All the pouches are made right here in the U.S. and are only $55 each.
