I carry at least one spare mag in a folding knife sheath so it don't stand out.
Do you carry extra ammo?

On the rare occasions when I only carry my KelTec P32, I carry one spare magazine.
When I carry either my S&W M13 or Taurus 85 UL, I carry two speedloaders and a Speed Strip, in addition to the P32 and spare magazine. This is my every day carry.
On those occasions when I will be out and about, I carry the M13 with two speedloaders, the 85UL with two speedloaders, one Speed Strip with .38 in it (to reload either primary gun if necessary), and the P32 with spare magazine. (My wife usually doesn't carry, and she might mug me for my gun if I don't have one for her.)
My brother asked me one day how much ammo I was packing and the count was 60 in three calibers. And, I was only carrying two knives - a Swiss Army penknife and a CRKT Mirage.

I carry two reloads, one for each weapon. I voted that I carry "Two Speedloaders or Magazines" but I should've selected the BUG option.
I carry one reload for each gun. I may start carrying another Airweight and forsake a third reload.

No one answer in the poll worked for me, though more than one apply. More than one firearm is normal, plus at least one stout knife. I carry at least one full reload, even if two handguns are carried. The 24/7 firearm is one of my Ruger SP101 snubbies, the 24/7 reload is at least one Bianchi Speed Strip, and the usual everyday blade is a Strider AR folder, plus, usually, a Tarani Masters Model Karambit folder. Other normally carried handguns include more SP101 snubbies, a Ruger Speed Six, several GP100 sixguns, and my personally owned police duty SIG P229R DAK. Looks like the NY reload might be my best answer for the poll; I'll revisit the choices in a moment.
OK, I voted NY reload, though the NYCPD guys were not the first to routinely carry multiple handguns, of course. It's also long been a very Texan thing to do. 
I also always carry at least one reload per gun; a gun without a reload is a temporary gun.
