Semi-auto guns are pretty much always marketed as ##+1 for the ability to put one in the chamber, and then insert a full mag. With a 1911, I can see doing that, but with some of the modern high-cap guns, do we really need/want to?

Most 1911s are 7 or 8+1, I think, right? So with a 1911 and 2 extra mags, you'll have 22 rounds. My only gun right now is a 9mm XDM, the mag holds 19 rounds. If I carried 19+1 plus 2 more mags, I'd be carrying more than your average box of ammo, 58 rounds. So, for you folks that carry something that holds 13 or more rounds in the mag, do you carry 13+1? Also, do you carry 2 extra mags?

Just curious what some of your thoughts are.

I also posted this on a site that is specifically for Texas CCW talk to see what their thoughts were, the link is below in case anyone is curious.

So, 2 questions

1 Do you carry ##+1

2 If your gun is high cap, do you carry 3 mags (that could mean 40-60 rounds or more of ammo)
