I remember in the early 90's when my agency started to switch from a revolver to a semi-auto for its LEO's, we had to take a multi-day training course.
Our certified LEO firearms indstructor told us the following:
when you carry your semi-auto OFF-DUTY (note: on-duty, we carry, like most department's, 2 extra magazines), carry at least 1 extra magazine with you...NOT only for the extra ammo you might need in an emergency, but MAINLY because the magazine is the weakest part of the semi-auto "weapon system" and if you have a problem with your semi-auto, it would most likely be due to a defective magazine, therefore carrying an extra magazine was vital.
Thanks for your opinions.
