Of course you should.
Thankfully, a mature concealed carry handgun market means plenty of options for carrying back up magazines.
As for how many extra rounds to carry, the answer depends on your situation.
For civilian concealed carry, you might be fine with a single back up magazine.
Or, you might.
Or, you might need to do a tactical reload.
Or, something might happen where your gun gets emptied of its magazine or its live round.
Here, then, are five ways Ive carried back up magazines on my person.
See which might work best for you.
It stays put when you draw the magazine out.
I carry this in a front, weak-side pants or jacket pocket.
The Bravo Concealment Kydex Mag Pouch shown here is a good option on that front.
Stage them the same and enjoy triple the rounds available to you.
Something like the Galco DMC Double Mag Carrier shown here is a good option.
Belly Band
For deep cover carry of multiple magazines, its hard to beat a belly band.
But if you’re gonna wanna carry a bunch, this is a solution to consider.
A good example of this is the Desantis Belly Band shown here.
To deploy, simply grab the magazine and pull upward.
You dont lose any capacity and the amount of tension needed to deploy it is adjustable.
The covering also protects magazines from damage when dropped.
The Ammo Armor magazine protectors shown here are a great example of this key in.
So try them out and see what works best for you!
