Thanks. Yeah I know about the 10 rounders, but dislike that they hang below the grip. I am a very good shot, and have been in a firefight or two (former LEO). If I need more than my normal 8+1 (plus 2 extra mags) I am in real trouble.

Thanks for the info on the stripper clips too. That could come in handy

I hate the extended mag thing, too (though I know of at least one family whose members have the smaller and larger glock, with the premise that his mags will fit in hers, even if a bit long). I was thinking more like double stack .45 mags - say Baby Eagle, or CZ. Heavy, steel, and tight.

Like I said, the stripper clip is not for a speed load, but having a few in the emergency bags might keep one from fumbling around in a time of need.

I have occasion to travel to a neighborhood where there has been a tendency for locals to drag people out of their cars with about a 20 to 1 ratio. If I am out the normal mag plus two spares, as you say, I’m in real trouble.
