It depends on the tool for the day. For my 45 I have loops for 12 on my belt plus those in the gun. For my Contender I carry a speed stip on a caribeener that hangs from a belt loop and they hold 5 or 6 depending on the caliber, same for my GeeP 357. When I carry my 22/45 for small game I carry one spare mag in a maglite pouch plus a few rounds in the pocket just in case. Etc, etc, etc...
