Since I carry a semi-automatic pistol, I always carry at least one spare magazine. Yes, I feel very confident with the 17+1 rounds that are already in the gun (M&P9), but if I have a malfunction such as a double feed that requires me to eject the magazine, I do not want to be reinserting a magazine that could have just caused a problem; nor do I want to be fumbling with that magazine whilst I am trying to clear the jam. I would prefer to strip it out of the gun and let it fall, clear the gun with my free hand, and then insert a fresh magazine and reassess the threat from there.
