I've never felt the need to carry the spare; and yes, to each his own, for sure.

I don't carry a spare for the pup (but sometimes do for my other carry gun); mostly because my ability (or total lack thereof) to change magazines is so slow that you need a calendar instead of a stopwatch to measure it. If I had enough time to change magazines I might have enough time to run away (hopefully!!!).

I would only need a spare mag if there were more than seven bad guys. ;D ;D

* * * Do you carry the spare mag as well and if so, how?  (weak side pocket?)

I do, in a magazine case stowed in the left (my weak side) back pocket. The case is important in keeping pocket dreck out of the magazine.

LIke Richard, I do as well in a carrier as well.

The primary reason for the extra mag, especially for a BUG is not for the extra ammo, but for Mr Murphy.  In case of mag failure of some sort  or a double feed, in which you have no choice  but to pull the mag.

Replacing a Kel-Tec P3AT.  I had reliability issues that the factory could not resolve. They bought it back after I returned it for repair 3 times. I just bought an R-9s and am awaiting grip extensions before shooting, as I can not get two fingers on the grip presently. I tried inexpensive, now I'll try the best. I hope I wont be disappointed.

      I raced Motocross at Zoar Valley thirty some years ago, but now I go offroading in a highly modified Jeep. I have wheeled on some private land in Gowanda that is close to Zoar. We usually go rock crawling in PA or Virginia, but have been to NC and as far as Utah. I'ts always nice to hear from someone with roots in western NY. The temp was 1 degree here this morning, I bet you don't miss that :)

Testing my memory back to the late 70s for cc? First there was an AMT 380 backup, worked well every time, then there was a walther PPK/S, a colt mustang, a S&W J frame 940, Seecamp of course, R9 now shares time with Seecamp and occasionally a Kimber CDP Ultra II depending on circumstances. There was not a bad gun in the group. PPK/S had to go back once and it was repaired quickly when I first got it.

OFFROADER:

Permit me also to welcome you to the Forum.

You mentioned rock crawling as one of your hobbies. That is one of the activities on my "bucket list," and we have some great rock outcroppings here in East Tennessee. I need to find myself a suitable Jeep as a platform, modify its engine and transmission, add a roll cage and lift kit, and get started before I "kick the proverbial bucket."  8)
