I always carry a reload, whether with a revolver or semi-auto. All mechanical things can fail, so with an auto, I prepare for a magazine malfunction. With a revolver, the only thing that will overcome a malfunction that disables the gun is a BUG, but the same can be true of a malfunctioning auto. Regardless, it is better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.
