I just sold my G43 and got a Sig P365XL a couple of weeks ago. I used to carry the G43 with one extra mag while doing my daily dog walking, but I'd carry two when I left home. All three mags had a Pearce +1 mag extender, giving me a total of 22 rounds. With the Sig, I only carry one extra since I've got 25 boo-lets to go pew pew with. I'm not against getting another, but I'm not running out to do it.
 
Just ALPA.

--And only the mag. in the gun.

After the election I will carry a spare whenever I have a sporadic errand into midtown or downtown Memphis-no matter who wins.
 
How Many Mags?

I've made it a habit to always carry two extra mags, both for my primary and for my backup piece. Four extra mags in total.

I love gun control. It lets me hit what I'm shooting at!
 
My main carry gun for about 5 years now has been a G19. I'm good with it, it's reliable, and I've got it set up just like I like it. I run it with a standard 15 rounder in the gun, and when I go to work, I have a a spare 17 rounder on my person and a spare 21 rounder in my briefcase. I work for a law firm, and we have had numerous instances of clients threatening us. We have about 40 employees, and half of them carry, which is pretty cool. Nice working with so many 2A fans, and it's crazy, as politics and personalities are extremely diverse.

As others have said, I've no interest at all in a gunfight, and the only thing I'm looking to do is escape. I do work in a pretty large office building though, and just want to be prepared as much as possible in case of a disgruntled client arriving, or worst case, an active shooter scenario.

Although I do carry a special mag, I don’t carry the right kind of gun for an active shooter situation being that I have a short-barreled, single-stack 45 but then again, even if I had my long-barreled 45 or any of my other full-size guns, there’s too much at stake and far too much to go wrong to put my ass in a pickle if I was to ever be a hero. I’d have to wait until I could get close enough to have a sure-fire successful hit before the I’d ever dream of taking on an active shooter.

It is rare among self defense situations that a magazine change could even be done due to proximity and other factors. You shouldn't need more than the mag in your gun. That being said, confidence is an important mental element before and during the altercation. If having a spare mag makes you feel better, it might just help your mental game.
 
One in the gun (17), one right next to it (17), one in my pocket (20), and 2 spares (15) in my backpack.

Yes, I don't live in a phenomenal area. No, I am not moving any time soon.
Yes, I carry a lot of medical as well. There are many other things I have with me, but the post didn't ask.
