[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1569871, member: 229"] In all reality, if you're in a gun-fight that requires more than the 8-15rds that your typical CCW will hold, you probably shouldn't have gotten in that gunfight to begin with. If you've got more bad-guys than you've got ammo (considering of course that under duress, you could miss at least 1 or 2 shots), then you'd probably have to find cover in the first place, or you'd be in danger of being hit from multiple attackers. I know its possible, and I'm not knocking the well-prepared, but I honestly only feel like I've got the bare minimum when I've got a J-frame with only 5-shots. I will rarely carry one without a couple of speed-loaders. I keep my spare mags (when I carry them) in an ipod-case in my pocket (and when I do CCW training, I have them in my pocket then as well). If I have to draw my CCW in a situation that suddenly gets way out of control, then I'd have to find proper cover (something that everyone who gets into a "gunfight" should probably be trained to do - I'm no expert in this area by any means). Most of my guns have at least 12-15rd mags in them, and if I can't do it with that many, then I probably shouldn't have drawn in the first place. Here's some advice to the OP - if you've never carried both your gun and a mag/holder IWB, you'll most likely have to step up in belt-sizes unless your belt is well larger than you are (also, pants are another issue - if you're pushing it with a single IWB, then consider larger pants as a necessity). I tried doing the IWB mag thing but found that it just didn't work for me. Everyone is different though, and the important thing is that you train the same way you carry. [/QUOTE]
