really depends on the weapon, and the mag capacity for me, my para compact 1911, i carry 3 on me, cause they only hold 7 each, my taurus 92........i carry 2 17 round mags, my haha...........my......whew cant belive im gonna say this, my jennings .25 lol i carry 1 mag, because ill be lucky to get more than 1 round off at a time :-p basicaly i carry enough to bring enough ammo for when it hits the fan, so i can get out alive

I keep a mag storage pouch that holds four (4) mags and one mag in the pistol...that makes a total of 5 mags for each of the pistols I currently own..that's for heading to the range...for concealed carry, I only have the mag in the pistol unless I carry a one mag holster in addition to my concealment holster...later...from the bluegrassstate..

Most of the handguns I've purchase that require mags. I find it a must to have at least 4, I'd prefer to have more. But that's my rule. And if I do nab a shooter with any less, I allow it into the budget of the gun to accommodate. However, I do have one with 8 mags, one with 6. The remainder I have 4 for each.

Seems like I can blow a lot more money when I'm at the range that way.

Trust me you want to keep at least six (6) good mags for each gun.

At least 6 for each handgun. More for Rifles. Mouse guns don't count for the rule to me. 2-3 is enough for me on the .380 and below.

I think at least 10 mags, two for the car, two under the coach, two underneath the bed, two in the range bag, and two in the kitchen. This is what I do...working at a gun shop is not healthy...for your mind or soul.

I average about 6 mags per pistol. But there are a few that I only have 4.

Minimum of 2 per gun. Hoping for the extended mag for the Taurus Slim, if not then just a few more 7's

At least 4.

1 in gun + 2 spares
3 with springs resting
swap q 6 mos.

I have 3 but would like 2 more.

4 per gun.

I like to keep enough mags to hold approx 50 rounds (or a full box of ammo). If it's 6 count, I have 8 mags (48). If it's 8 count (1911) I have 6 mags (48). If it's 13 rounds, I have 4 mags, etc. It makes range trips easier and I always have all my mags loaded after a range trip so it works out nice there as well.

4-5 mags always

minimum of 2 but I prefer 3-4 mags per gun.

4-6 per gun.

At least 6 for handguns and 12 for rifles

Got two with my Glock 19 and just ordered two more last week from Midway USA. Got Glock factory mags for less than $24 per mag.

It will be 4 mags for my Sigma when the 2 from the rebate decide to show up.

Minimum of two, but prefer 4 per pistol. I have lots of 1911 mags, but I have a few 1911s

I got rid of 14 PMAGS and 10 USGI mags with Magpul followers and Ranger plates, to young Soldiers of mine who made Sergeant and did great things.
I need to stock back up!

M&p = 3
92fs = 3
p22 = 3
ar15 = 4

I try to get at least three 100% trustworthy ones. Sometimes, I've had a couple that needed tweaking, like the follower has flash on it, or the mag has crud in it, and I've bought a couple before fixing them, so I wind up with a half dozen or more. I went to a gunshop that was closing up and the owner had factory mags for the Astra A-75, and I grabbed all six he had for $7.95 a pop, and now I have at least a dozen. Not so many when I had two A-75's, but now that I only have one, it's kind of ridiculous. I'll keep them, as I'm sure I'll get another one one of these days.

I have an M&P .40 cal that came with 2 mags. I ordered 4 more in .40 S&W/.357 and 2 for my 9mm conversion barrel. So, 8 mags in all with .357 Sig and 9mm conversion barrels all for the same gun.
