I carry the highest capacity... big whoop... Kahr mags as RELOADS, and I use the flushest fitting mag in the gun for maximum concealability, even substituting a metal base plate where possible for the greatest concealability.
For my 9mm's I carry the 8-round extended grip mags as spares and range mags. I do the same for the .380, the .40, and the .45. The extra bullet or two could come in handy. You can never have too much ammo when you NEED it.

I haven't had any problems with the 9mm 8-round extended-grip mags in my K9/P9/PM9, the P380 7-round extended-grip mags, the P40 7-round extended-grip, or 7-round extended-grip .45 mags in my PM45.
I would make sure that anything you use for carry and defense works reliably... ammo and magazines. You want to find problems at the range and during practice, not when your life is in jeopardy!
