How many mags do you have for your side arm?

One in the weapon, three more on the holster (Yay for ridiculously small Cyma AEP mags). Why would I ever carry 120 rounds for a pistol? Easy.

Half the time that's my primary.

Nice! Four mags gives me the capacity for between four and eight kills if I'm Rambo-ing it, or more if I have help. But for the average player, who will use thier rifle 80/20 over a sidearm, two mags is probably enough.
For those of us who are dumb enough to use them 60/40, we require more magazines.

One, It's unlikely i'll get any kills with it so when it comes down to my side arm i just call my self out and reload. unless of course i'm DEEP in enemy lines, then shit gets serious

Not true, you can get one 'kill' per 1 BB, just make sure your going to hit something when you shoot ;)

I carry 2+1 mags for my 1911... when I carry one. Basically the only time I'm using a pistol is if my primary is down, or if I'm in CQC range with an outdoor primary. In either case I'm only using it temporarily until I can get my primary back up, or exit the CQC area.

Pistols are not a replacement for a good primary. Unless you're Rentax.

Just one in the gun for now. When I start doing more cqc type stuff I'll probably carry 3 extras or dual wield if that is the cheaper options and run pistol only because that is bad a$$. Also feels better imo.

I'd just got with 1 spare, most holsters have room for an extra on it
My sword runs at 450 FPS, try to out run that! 35+ Sword/Knife Kills and counting.

I carry four, but I am a fan of using my pistol(also I use it to shoot my own teamates who don't call their hits.)

Outdoors, it's 3 or 4 mags for the G19

Indoors, I have two G19s, and I carry 5 or 7 mags.
