| Actually I carry a P365 now, but for almost ten years I carried a G19 with the G19 mag in the gun and a G17 mag with a +2 extension as my spare.

| When I carry a Glock 26, I almost always carry a Glock 19 magazine in reserve, and then almost always in a Magholder, LLC horizontal magazine carrier. Back when I also had a Glock 17, I carried one of those magazines in reserve for the 26.

| I chose a larger mag (G22) but the reality is that I probably carry a second same size mag (G23) just as often.

| Typically a G32, with two G31 magazines. When just pocket carrying, a P365 with a ten round magazine inserted, and two 15 rd. magazines. |

The cake is a lie!
| I carry a 19 with a 17 reload not necessarily for the extra capacity, but mainly due to the fact that the mag is longer, so it stick up out of the mag pocket on my jeans.
A G19 mag would sink in while the 17 mag would sit a bit higher, and easier to pull out. |

| I carry my P365XL mostly, but when I carry my P320, I also carry a second P320 mag with a Taran Tactical +2 extender. I have a G19 with 3 Taran Tactical +2 extenders but I rarely carry a Glock. I just prefer my Sigs better. I did buy a P320 Compact with Red Dot, a Streamlight WML, and an appendix style holster with a mag pouch, and added a P320 Carry mag with sleeve, but I haven't started trusting the RMR yet, so I don't carry that way yet.

| When I carried a G19, I carried a G19 mag as well. Same with a 320 compact. But now that I carry a 2011, I carry a spare 20 rounder instead of a 17. Don't know why other than, since I carry appendix, it's easier for me to conceal and access a longer mag at my 11 o'clock.

| Unless your build doesn’t allow it I would carry a 17 mag. No extensions unless I was very confident in it which is to say I wouldn’t. I can barely get off the stock Glock baseplate which is annoying most of the time but reassuring in your scenario. It ain’t popping off. Ever. |

Glock sells G17 mags with the Glock +2 extension already installed. They, like every other factory Glock mag, are very reliable.

| Glock 19 in summer with a 17 mag with sleeve as a reload. |

| Forgot about those. Which is stupid of me because I think I have some on my G23 mags. Those I can’t get off at all. Once they are on I consider them permanent. Lol
I’ve got two tools that are for removing base plates on Glock. The squeezy kind which I find nearly useless and the aluminum blue tool that works amazingly well on flat stock plates but can’t reach around on the extensions. |

Who Woulda
Ever Thought?
| A 19 with a 17 or a 23 with a 22 backup. If you require a second magazine you are in to some serious business and need all the rounds you can get. |

| My off duty is a G19, I think I have the three magazines that came with it, there's probably 15 G-17 mags laying around. My duty is a G-21 and if I'm doing anything crazy, I have a G30 as a back up. I'd have a G30 magazine in it, but 3 magazines for the 21 on my belt.
