Glock 20 with seven 15 round magazines fully loaded. Try to empty every three weeks either by shooting or just swapping and cleaning. The springs are cheap to replace... Goodluck

While I don't carry "plus one," I do carry 15 rounds, one in the chamber and 14 in the 15 round magazine. This is so when I have to disarm, I have a place to store the extra round... I also carry an extra fully loaded magazine, or two... Never less than 30 rounds on my person.

17+1 and daily.............

10+1 on me, an extra 15 round mag in my truck, along with another pistol, loaded 17+1 with an extra 17 round mag loaded next to it.

Always fully loaded. Mag springs are cheap and can be changed often if needed

Glock 23. Fully loaded all 3 mags all the time.

I keep all four of mine ( one's a 32 rnd)
no problems so far & it goes

every time

I carry 2 on my waste in a blade tech adjustable.

Always carry two extra mags and a box of ammo in my truck in case the need would arise. Having ammo in mags is not enough.

Fully loaded all the time. Seems kind of old school to not load up all the way. The argument that it wears down the spring is wrong. The spring wears down from the constant flexing of the spring (i.e. Loading and unloading) not from a constant pressure. I have a buddy that found a 1911 in his grandpas storage. It was boxed up since 1944. The mags were loaded and still work fine.

I download all by one. My 13 round 23 mags have 12 in them. My 17 round 17 mags have 16 in them. I do this for two reasons.
1. I've been doing this as originally taught long ago and have Glock mags that I've not had to replace a spring in from before the Clinton era assault weapons ban.
2. It makes the insertion of a magazine with the slide closed easier.

Fully loaded, anyone who says different is an idiot. Why? It costs ~20 to buy a second or third magazine, and leave one empty. Once a month of every other month, swap the one you are using with the empty. This means every other month your magazines are empty for an entire month.

Besides no matter what, mags and mag parts are CHEAP. Ask them if loosing their lives over a few bullets to save a few bucks is worth it.

exactly what i was taught and was going to say, no need. well said.

Agree with last two post

Exactly!

Mine is always fully loaded. I'm not one to waste the added room

 

[OhioBountyHunter]

Full mag and one in the pipe for me. I had a Mini 14 mag that was loaded for 12 years. No problems.

 

[bunk22]

Fully loaded, the springs wear out from use, not from being fully loaded/compressed. But as always, to each their own.

 

[GlockSamurai]

I've had mags left loaded for 3 years in my emergency bag and I took them out and shot them no issues. They were fully loaded.

 

[57red]

fully loaded X 2 and 1 in chamber!

 

[RIP]

I used to not carry one in the chamber at all. I liked the Israeli videos of how they would handle an incident. After thousands of rounds down range and many range officers telling me to keep one in the pipe, I complied. With that logic, I also carry plus one.
