when you carry your gun, do you also carry a spare mag?
Very true. By the time you realize there's a malfunction and do the "tap/rack/bang" drill, you could be very dead. That drill won't clear all types of malfunctions, either.It's a heck of a lot faster & easier to just drop a mag in some types of failure drills and refresh it with a fresh one, than to remove it, hang on to it, clear the malf, and reinsert it...
I carry a XDM 9 compact and it holds 13+1 so I do not carry a spare mag. If I need more than 14 shots then I am in way over my head and I should have run a long time ago!!
