I always wonder at folks who carry a semi-auto pistol without a spare magazine.
It's not about ammo capacity to me, I have no problem with carrying a 5 shot snubbie revolver with no reloads.
But what's the standard approach to clearing a malfunction on a semi-auto?
I've been taught, "TAP, RACK, BANG" and then if that doesn't work, to strip the mag, rack the slide and reload a new mag.
If you have just the mag in the gun and get a double feed, what happens?
My CZ PCR holds 14+1, I'd be willing to bet I'll never get in a situation where I need all of them, but I still carry a spare mag to cover me if I have a malfunction.
