It is a habit for me to carry 2 spare mags.

I know I should carry more ammo daily especially with all that going on these days. But, I just can't seem to find a comfortable way to carry them. Tried the pocket.....too much trouble and time to pull it out. Tried the vertical belt carry.......pokes my fat rolls when sitting or driving. Have not tried the horizontal carry yet so, maybe that's the ticket for me.

Any suggestions?

PS: I have been looking at replacing my Shield 9 for a double stack higher capacity pistol. Right now I'm only 9 Mighty Mouse shots from danger.

I carry a G19 on and off-duty. When I'm on duty two extra mags, off - one.
I am putting a small bag together to throw in the car. It's going to consist of a medical kit, two extra mags, a hundred rounds of ammo, flashlight, an additional knife, and few more things.

Very good, I did this two years ago, lives in my car. Both 9mm and 380 auto as I switch my carry here and there. Add to your items Duck tape or Gorilla tape, a bit of paracord, and a way to make fire and signal.

My purpose is TO GET HOME to wifey and pups and hunker down. I could walk from work to home in about 1 hr, leaving car parked somewhere relatively safe (although in a SHTF what's safe?).

I have one of those in the truck, . Everything you listed, plus fat lighter and magnesium stick for lighting fires, compass, rope saw and paracord in case I have to head into scrub to get home.

Please take pick of the bag and contents. Most of the bags I have seen are either too large or too expensive for a stash bag that may never get used. I have first aid kits but need to add some items like Quickclot and tourniquet. Also I don't have much room to stash a bag out of sight. I don't have an enclosed trunk and the area near the spare is kinda tight.

Sure. I'm still working on the contents. Just ordered extra mags. Waiting for the delivery.

You could throw a mag in Lisa's purse next to your testicles

My 1911 is to fight to my truck, where I keep the AR, 3 30 round mags, a Kabar and sometimes a 12 gauge coach gun
