Always +1. 

I have  never had a failure with this practice and have always had that extra round available.

I tend to think in terms of options...and that extra round gives me another chance to save my life.

Even if you insert it the right way, you could be in trouble if you inserted the rounds in backwards.

After hundreds of reloads under the clock, and over a hundred  in competition I am pretty confident on what a seated mag feels/sounds like and an admin reload is a gimme.  My XDM has always gone bang every time I've pulled the trigger and that is with a stead diet of my reloads.  I use the same gun I carry in competition which isn't too common but I don't think I would carry something unless I had a few 'sessions' under stress both reloading and malfunction drills which is not something I would have considered a few years ago-another benefit of competition.

What he said.

I have 20+ years of "+1" loading for my CCW guns (1911 Commander with Wilson 8 rnd mags and a Glock 27 with mag extension so I actually get +2 carry).......so far, so good.


Seat the mag properly = no problems.

If you don't think you can seat the mag the second time as opposed to the first maybe you should carry a bat.

THe point is we all can make a mistake.  Then again there is also the issue of what do you do with the plus 1, when you disarm?  I don't like to leave a gun loaded when its not in my control nor do I like a lose round just floating around.  While working I may have to disarm several times a day.
