How do you carry an extra mag?

Yup, New York reload is another banger in your pocket or on the other hip.

I also carry my extra mag in my weakside front pocket with nothing else. Also sometimes I wear cargo pants/shorts that have the perfect sized pocket for a pistol magazine, but the pocket is low on my thigh. However, after seeing a picture of the desantis pocket holster I think I have a new item to purchase, that's what I love about this forum .

I KNOW I should carry a reload magazine but I can count on one or two hands the number of times I have done so in ten+ years of daily carry. On the other hand, I have been known to carry a New York reload on several occasions.

LOL, this is EXACTLY my situation as well!

Part of my problem is that I just don't know a GOOD way to carry an extra mag all the time. In a pocket, like some suggest, it WILL get banged up, sat on, dented, full of lint.

I know there are special belt things for mags, but... I'm wondering if those attract attention. hehe I dunno... I really SHOULD carry an extra mag.

Instead, I carry a 642 in my pocket ALL the time... If my .45 runs dry, I guess I'll reach for that...

It's nice to have a plan...

Strike Eagle,

Yeah, here's my situation. I carry a pistol on my right hip or in my right front pocket or both. I carry a phone on my left hip at 9 o'clock and a PDA just behind it at 7 or 8 o'clock. Left front pocket carries my change and my car keys while left hip pocket carries my wallet with check book etc. Can't carry anything in my right hip pocket because I could flash my hip-holster while accessing it. I'm fresh out of places to carry a spare mag. As it is, if I ever fell in the water, I'm not sure I could swim to the top with all the weight. Plus, I hate to think what would happen if my belt came loose while I'm walking down the street.
