I just carry what is in the gun on my person. Recently it has been the 6+1 in my Shield 45.
Pretty much regardless of what I'm carrying, I like carrying a double mag carrier for it; helps balance the pistol when carrying on the strong-side hip, and fits in a pocket when carrying a single-stack AIWB under a thin shirt.
My EDC is a S&W 3913LS (8+1), though when wardrobe permits I sometimes carry my FNS (17+1).
Just keep in mind that there is no penalty for having rounds remaining on your person or in the magazine.
A primary argument for reserve capacity is *reserve*; I would imagine that in the immediate aftermath of a violent attack, the risk of another attack would be higher (reattack by the original perpetrator circling back? attack by an accomplice?), so I would think one would not want to be unarmed while waiting for the police to arrive and secure things.
As I'm fairly new can you please explain?My Ruger LC9 holds 7 rounds. When I carry it I bring a spare mag. My Glock 17 holds 16 rounds so I leave my spare mag at home.

Why not carry an extra mag?
Most of the time my EDC is an HK P2000. The weight of an extra mag is pretty minimal compared to the weight of the gun, gunbelt and holster. So why not carry the extra mag? Mine is in a Safariland 123 horizontal pouch that's never in the way- I hardly notice it's there.
