| Your CCW
What do you carry concealed? How many extra mags? What set up do you use?
Thanks,
Creed

Kimber Stainless Ultra Carry II, 1 spare mag. If that's not enough .45 acp, better head for the truck.

Winter: SAI 1911A1 (7+1) .45ACP with 2 spare 7rd mags in the pocket. I bought this thing 6 or 7 years ago (as I recall...). The closest thing I see on their website now is the PX9109LP. Here's a link to a photo of it with a Micro-Compact I could never get to work.
Summer: Para Ordnance "Covert Black Slim Hawg" (6+1) .45ACP with sometimes a spare mag, sometimes not.
I'm coming to the belief that if 7 or 8 rds of 200gr EFMJ don't do the trick, I'm probably in too much trouble for a handgun anyway. Still like to have some extras if it's convenient...

Para LDA Carry
Para LDA Carry 12
SW 327
Glock 27
Ankle, shoulder, belt(side), "thunderwear" type carry, or vest. Sometimes combo carry. (Depends on weather and clothing.)
Mags/Moon clips - depends on how many guns I carry. 
(More guns = less mags/moon clips)... sometimes

Depends on weather. this time of year I usually carry my 380 or 44 Bulldog. I don't bother with extra mags or speed loaders. If I pull, the target won't be far away. A couple mid torso ought to end the battle. I live in the country and spare mags and all are really stretching the what ifs IMHO. No roving bands of armed thugs. Just the occasional drunk Bubba. Hopefully I can calm drunk Bubba down instead of plant him. I really hope I never have to draw my irons in fear or defense. If I do, it will be over in seconds. Not saying everyone else got it wrong. Just saying I feel confident with what I choose to carry to get me or others out of a very bad spot. Most folks go into shock after you drop someone. Last shooting I witnessed was my friend. We were leaving a place that had dancing. the guy got asked by a women to dance. Yup, she was married, trying to make hubby mad. One shot point blank with a 380 and he never spoke another word. I got off my bike and instead of running or revenge, tried to help my buddy. He tried to talk but could not. I held him until he passed. Not long, but seemed like hours. YMMV

"What do you carry concealed? How many extra mags? What set up do you use?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I have carried many different handguns CC over the last 30+ - years...
In Vietnam...anytime I was not in full gear...but maybe going into a Ville for a beer or two...and I thought I could get by with it...I carried my 1911 in a Clamshell Holster in the small of my back...hidden by my Fatigue Shirt...
Years ago all I had was my S & W Model 38/Cal .38 Snubnose...I used Shoemaker Paddle Holsters...
Then I have carried a Glock 27(.40)...
A Para Ord. Stealth Warthog in .45 ....
Many 'little' guns, Berettas' in .22 and .32...etc...
When I go to 'the mountains'...I often carry one of several S & W Wheelguns in .44 Mag...some bigger than others...
I have the 529 PD( I think that's the Model...)that is Titanim/Scandium/Scary!
I call it my 'carry a lot---shoot a little gun!"
But Ok, 'the Problem' with CC Guns...is that you have to actually CARRY them!
They are of Zero Value...no matter how good the gun, the holster, or how many Mags...If you don't actually have them on you!
(and yeah, I have one or two mag carriers for each gun)
And...Most are Heavy, Bulky, Awkward...and have some level of 'Printing'! (Meaning the outline of the gun can be detected)
And while it is easy to CC in cooler weather, with a Vest, Coat, Jacket, etc... covering your belt-line...it gets progessively harder to CC as the weather warms up...
Yes , there are some Inside The Pants Holsters...these work much better for Skinny People than us...Non-Skinny People!
<G>
My Skinny Son can carry his 1911 or his SAA under a non-tucked-tucked-in shirt with 'Printing'...
Me, I look like I'm trying to smuggle a 'Go-Box' out of a restaurant!
<G>
So...Under the theory that...Something, Anything is Better than Nothing...and Surprise, Stealth and downright Sneakiness should never be discounted...
I carry in my front right pants pocket...a Bond Arms Derringer(I think the best Derringer made today IMHO)...
It rides easy in a leather box holster...
It is the Snakeslayer! With 45 (LONG)Colt/.410---3"!!!
So...each .410 Round(of Two)stacks 5 each .357/000#Buck Balls...
It really is a 'Point and Click Gun'...
And I can carry it wearing almost anything except bathing trunks! (ok, forgive that mental image!)
Now...if I feel the need...
I can sure carry a Bigger, Heavier 'thang' CC on the opposite side at the same time...Cross-Draw...
Just a little different point of view here...

Sub-80 degree weather: Sig GSR 1911, with 1 extra mag.
80-120 degree weather: Ruger sp101, .357. 1 speedstrip.
I am currently unarmed if I am exercising, running, etc. I am looking at a keltec P32 or something similar that will fit in my gym shorts pockets and stay nice and light but won't tug down my shorts when I am running.

A lot of the times I carry a single spare, instead of a double.

Kimber .45 Compact Aluminum Stainless with one extra mag or S&W 642 with one speedloader.
Loud Hawaiian shirts are the greatest invention known to CC.
On the ammo thing, Jeff Cooper once said, "If you can't solve the problem with 8 rounds of .45 you won't with 17 of 9MM." Same applies regardless of caliber. That stuck with me.
