Re: how many mags?
If you're using it as a backup, then two mags is probably enough. If you're gonna play sometimes with just a pistol, then aim for 3 or 4 mags unless you can take fairly frequent breathers to reload

Re: how many mags?
Yeah i will be using it as a backup so 2 seems like the smartest choice.
Are there any holsters that have mag pouches on? and preferably dropleg?
Thanks for all the help Greg

Shop around, drop legs with mag pouches are easy to find

Re: how many mags?
how much will you use a pistol? i recommend 2 spare mags 1 in - 3 total
im a crazy mofo with 11x 1911 mags, and that gets emptied rapidly in a game day as i dont carry spare gas or ammo usually

Re: how many mags?
I have a P226 and use 3 mags in total, 1 in 2 out
But that is mainly because I got it second hand with those mags.
I rarely get through all mine TBH, but 2-3 total is all you will need if it is purely a sidearm.

Re: how many mags?
Got two pistols on me usually. 4 mags for my P226 and 2 mags for my USP. I usually drop to my pistol when I go inside and if you get holed up in a room, extra mags are a god send.
Not sure how the P226 mags are these days but when I bought mine when they came out, the mag valves were shite. The little spring inside pops out. Ive upgraded all of mine with High flow winter valves. Never had a problem.

The TM P226 mags are quality now, never missed a beat with me. Holster wise I use a mill force one, can't remember the exact one but its got an extra mag pouch on the front, so its perfect for me.
