Well, for the record...
One SIG I've never had a failure, the other... not so much!!
Ironically, I would only CC the more reliable one under a winter coat.
Finally...someone with a sense of humor!

I am willing to bet that 99% of the people that carry on this forum either have a Glock or a Sig and claim they rarely, if ever, have a failure. But just in case, they carry an extra magazine.
You can never win in a forum.
BTW...youtube has plenty of single magazine drills...just look them up.
Interesting discussion.
another alternative to carrying a spare mag(s); a backup gun
With a lot of my polo's and button downs They cover the holster and the mags. Just how I do it (In places I can anyway)
I got some nice Hawaiian-style shirts at Target for $10 each on sale. Great pattern for hiding my gun and comfy, too. Beware the guy who doesn't tuck in his shirt. Cold weather carry is easy. Summer's not so much.
I just yesterday, ordered a couple of embroidered, polo style, uniform shirts. If I like them, I'll get three more.
bored LEOAs I understand it, carrying an extra mag - in plain sight - is okay, even if you are restricted to concealed carry of the firearm, itself. But here's my thought on it...
If the magazine is in plain sight, wouldn't that give a paranoid "concerned citizen" (or a bored LEO) cause too look more closely at you for any sign of "printing" (of the handgun)?
I mean; basically, by wearing an extra mag or two on your belt, in plain sight, doesn't that pretty much "let the cat out of the bag"?
Right now, I'm carrying my extra mag in my left back pocket. But I don't really like that because it still "prints". Not to mention, I have to wonder about what effects constantly sitting on will eventually have on the magazine over time.
Am I over thinking this?
There is no printing statute in MD anyway. Get your permit, carry as you wish. You aren't being scrutinized as closely as you imagine. Most folks are so absorbed in their smartphones they never notice. Heck, I OC in VA and no one even sees my pistol most of the time. They are just not looking.
When you get your permit, just go about your business. You'll be fine.
My .02 which is worth 0
I must have dumb phone. I can call people, text and take crappy pictures.. That's it. I love it. Cost me 30 bucks at Verizon.
