Smalls and I think exactly alike...
I carry 2 spares with my 1911 but only one with my Hi-Power, both in OWB leather carriers. Besides the obvious benefit of extra ammo, I find the mags help offset the weight of the pistol making for a more balanced rig. For the 1911 I keep a 7 round mag in the pistol with one in the chamber for 8 and (2) spare 8 rounders in the carrier. This way my pistol is "always" loaded with 8 rounds.
