How many rounds do you carry

[Patrolman1981]

Ruger LCP (EDC) 6+1, with 1 extra mag. On my person, all the time.
In my vehicle: Bushmaster M4 with (6) 30 round mags.

 

[skyscout]

xd 9 sc....16+1

 

[wolfts01]

I carry a Walther PPS in 9mm with 7+1 capacity and one 8-rd backup mag. It isn't as formidable as a service pistol, but then it isn't as large or heavy or visible as a service pistol either.

I'm not planning on being in a prolonged cover-to-cover firefight with 4 armed assailants. Not that I wouldn't use what I have in such a situation, it's just not economical to plan for that. If I were in a situation where I was outgunned I would presumably have the defensive advantage anyway (I'm not the instigator).

I just need enough to stop a one, possibly two, man threat and a spare to reload for safety/backup purposes. If I need anything more than that I need more than a handgun.

 

[JCDPA]

Glock 17 + 2 mags = 55 rounds.

 

[9mmfan]

When I'm carrying the 642-loaded cylinder, 2 speedloaders; G19-15 +1, and either 1 or two spare mags.

 

[zeebandit]

I carry a CZ PO-1, 14 + 1. I hope I don't need more than that.

 

[superjoe76]

Well lets see:

6+1 or 8+1 or 13+1

 

[nemo97]

6 rounds of Federal Hydra-Shok +P+ in my S&W M67 plus one speed loader. 12.

 

[lrahm]

When I am working, I have 2 extra mags for my Glock 21. In my "grab bag" I have two more mags and 4 20 round mags and 2 30 round mags for my AR. I also have one 20 round mag for my AR to put into my pocket. That doesn't count extra cuffs or a spare knife.

Am I paranoid?

 

[BDBHoover]

Glock 30 10+1 with two glock 21 13 round mags for backup, all with black talon +P ammo

 

[cmayfield682]

8 rounds of .45 hollowpoint in my Sig and another 8 in my truck

 

[dbrier]

I've never carried extra ammo, I'm limited to the bullets in the gun.

 

[Eric05]

Usually carry a
7+1 Kahr CW9
If not then
17+1 M&P9
8+1 RIA 1911
All Hornady Critical Defense Hollow points.
Depending on what I carry I usually keep one extra mag of that in the glove box.
When in doubt, I usually have my auto Mossberg in the trunk.

 

[Blackhawk2001]

So I would just like to know how many rounds do you really carry?
I really like the looks of the glock 36 and I am of the opinion that there is very little that 7 rounds of 45 can't fix. Right now I carry a bursa thunder 9 that I only load 10+1 I just want to know what others think.

Oh if this is a repeat sorry I have searched and could not find a thread that addressed this

ONE round is enough to stop a fight against a single opponent - but you have to HIT your target. Realistically, that's not guaranteed, especially if you and your opponent(s) are moving.

I carry at least one spare mag and try to carry two on my person, which gives me from 30-36 rounds.

 

[griffin]

Minimum 21, but prefer 41.

 

[Bubba Skinner]

I carry a Taurus 85 5 shot. I always have at least 5 extra bullets on me.

If Im going downtown, or to a shady area, I grab about 10-15 extra bullets. Am I ever going to have to reload 3 times? Highly doubtful. But Id rather have too much than too little.

 

[sparkyfender]

A GLOCK 36 is a good gun.

Take an extra mag along, and everything should be fine............

 

[msirelan]

If I'm cc I just have 8 rounds of 9x18

 

[ironmanran]

6, If I'm in water thats deeper than 6 rounds can get me out of I put myself in a situation that I more than likely could have avoided. I guess if I need more I'm screwed.

 

[GBuck]

When I am working, I have 2 extra mags for my Glock 21. In my "grab bag" I have two more mags and 4 20 round mags and 2 30 round mags for my AR. I also have one 20 round mag for my AR to put into my pocket. That doesn't count extra cuffs or a spare knife.

Am I paranoid?

Heck no! You work in Evansville right? I can't believe they haven't gotten you that tank you asked for yet!
