Gees…You mean that the extra magazine I’m carrying around for my Kimber isn’t needed?

I've heard people say that carrying the extra mag is so that if the first mag fails or causes a jam, you can eject and insert your spare and still have recourse to save your life.
And if the extra mag prepares you for a prolonged fire fight then that is a secondary benefit.
Like I said, I don't usually carry an extra mag though I think I should ... and perhaps I'll correct that some day.

I throw it in my front pocket when wearing jeans. It’s hardly noticeable.
Assume it would be a nice “extra” if needed. 
Since I’m going to all the trouble to lug around approximately 30 ounces all day long, might just as well add a little more for the additional “protection” it offers.

My primary carry guns are Kahr P-9 and HKusp.45.I always have a spare mag in the car at least,usually on my belt.I think Jeff Cooper said the main reason to carry a spare mag was so that you don't have to walk home after a gunfight with an empty gun.This seems like a good enough reason!
Someone else made a comment that you should keep count of your shots fired,good luck!Maybe some can but I think the overwhelming majority will have no idea of the round count of a gunfight.If I ever hear the really loud CLICK when I expect a bang,I hope I have a reload.

At least in Minneapolis I'd count being able to go home unloaded lucky. I'd personally expect a manditory trip downtown.

Oh, there is no doubt that one should expect to get a ride in a squad car and probably a night in the klink,but I still feel it prudent to have a reload close by.At the very least,I would want a loaded gun while I wait for the cops to come,who knows, maybe the thug is a gang member who's friends are on the way , or some thugs come and start a turf war,I think there are many possibilities,after all, isn't that why we carry in the first place?

Alright, I'm convinced. I have the spare mag carrier that I'll start using.

Absolutely!
I carry a handgun "just in case". And have carried one for about 13 years, with a MN permit. I never had to draw it to defend myself, let alone reload it during or after a gunfight. Obviously, I hope I never have to. Even after all these years I still carry extra mags, "just in case". Both on my body and I also keep some in my car.
