Well the good comments and insight have encouraged me to start carrying a spare mag with my Sig. Haven't really given it a second thought until now. Thanks Gentlemen!!

Well, carrying spare ammo in your car is great. If you are ever involved in an armed encounter...
IN YOUR CAR!
Always remember boys and girls, an armed encounter is ALWAYS a "come as you are" event. Meaning if you don't pack the necessary gear to fight and win EVERY DAY than you've just compromised yourself.
This is serious business. No matter what you THINK will happen, you can never be sure. If you have made the decision to pack a full sized weapon on your person, a little ol' spare magazine isn't that much more of a burden.
As for the method of carrying a spare mag? The sky is the limit. All I'm gonna say is get SOME KIND of carrier. Don't just have a spare mag wollowing around loosely in your pocket, picking up lint, fuzz and maybe a dime or something. This will not only be stuck in your mag, but it will go right into your weapon when you need it the most.
GET A MAG CARRIER FOR YOUR BELT!!!
It's just silly not to. Guys will drop a C note for a custom made IWB holster, but they won't spend another 20/30 bucks for a quality mag pouch.
I use that reason all the time!
I always carry a spare mag. Cargo pants have gotten so popular, they no longer scream "gun" when you wear them. Plenty of pockets to carry plenty of stuff. The 5.11 cargo pants and shorts have a nifty little pocket on the left side that is perfect for a mag or speed strip (probably because that is what it was designed for?) It closes with a velcro flap.
One thing you really need to do if your are new or have never had any firearm training you Must go get some!!!!!!!!!
The good trainers out there will teach how and why you need to carry and to use the gun as well as how to keep it running in a fight..
Notice I said fight not ( gun fight).
Look in the Training section for local trainers.
And take as many classes as you can.
I know what ya mean, man...

...I'll be allllright.
Seriously though...Like others have said - better to have it and not need it than to need it & not have it.

Get rid of that Bianchi "Professional" and score yourself a Milt Sparks "Versa Max 2" and that big ol' iron will downright disapear.
I'm loving that mag/flashlight paddle. It looks like a Galco "MFP" or is it a Gould & Goodrich B860?
Thanks for the input! I do always carry a spare mag and looking forward to my first class with TDSA next week

Good on you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I dig my "Professional" for now...it suits me just fine for the price and the availability. (cheap AND no wait...:wink: ) But, thanks for the tip.
You are correct - it is indeed the Galco COP MFP! Absolutely love it. Ya know...kinda like carrying a pocket knife...you don't realize how handy it is to have a flashlight until you carry one for a little while.
