Tactically manipulating a firearm under lethal force pressure is extremely hard. Quite a few books and statistics from a vast amount historical data show that only about 1/3 of the rounds fired impact on the target. This doesn't seem to be that bad, until you look at other statistics that show approximately 90% of gun fights happen under 7 yards and comprise less than 3 total shots. How realistic is it then that when most people can would be lucky to hit their attacker, you are going to hit one of the smaller areas, and an area that is most likely to be moving?
REMEMBER IF YOU JUST SHOOT AND SPRAY YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT YOU HIT WITH INTENTION OR NOT. SOMETHING FOR THOUGHT[:D][:(][}:)][:D][xx(]

5 shots in my revolver. People who have a lot of shots must miss a lot.

or - people who carry a lot plan on missing a lot? I generally subscribe to the "rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it" school of thought, but at some point it's difficult to conceal a complete arsenal.0 -
6+1 +1 extra mag 0 -
Full mag and one chambered in my P3AT
With the Kahr P45 I'll carry the same, but also a spare mag as they are small.0 -
10+1 in my XD45 0 -
Five in the gun. Lately I've been carrying two five round speed loaders for a total of fifteen, but I think I'll go back to just five in the gun. 0 -
Sigma .40 cal with 15 rounds Hydro-Shocks. Another 15 rounds in a spare mag in the truck.
Years ago the stats for a police involved shooting was 2.7 rounds. I don't know if that still holds up.0 -
Sig P220 - I carry only 8. 0 -
summer carry 3PAT 6 in mag none in tube
winter carry Taurus ultralite .38 5 in the cylinder.
No need for extra mags or speedloaders. If 5 shots wont get me out of a bad situation it is my fault for being in the wrong place.0 -
For the past year or 2 just the 5 in the gun but I just ordered some speed loaders and if they work "crosses fingers" I may carry them, its a comfort issue for me.
I figured if I need more than 5-15 I need a bigger gun, with more range and more leathality and some good body armor.
In a carry situation 5 hopefully would do the trick but a reload would be nice.0 -

What is it one or five? What happen to I hate Glocks. I only need a single shooter, because I'm so good a shot and everyone who shoots a Glock can't hit anything etc...etc....etc.

Why none in the tube?0 -
In the summer or "lite" carry Colt Mustang with 6+1 Corbon .380. I then have a spare mag of 6. With an auto there is no reason not to have a spare mag since they are the weak link in the system. I know in a street fight you will most likely not have a chance to reload if you have a mag failure but like others have said I would rather have it and not need it then to need it and not have it.
In jacket weather I carry a G35 with 15+1 Corbon .40 and normally a spare 15rd mag. I know 30rds is a lot, but I am not going to down load just because. I would like to carry this gun all the time but it is too big and too hot so I pack the Mustang since the gun you have on you is better then the one left in the car/house/safe/ect.0 -
If I was old enough to carry, I would keep one loaded, with 2 mags. I want to carry a Sig Sauer p245. 0 -
1 mag of 13 rounds [8D] 0 -

Not trying to be a smart ass or anything. Have you tried one of these? http://www.donhume.com/Products/ProductsPage.cfm?ProductID=31
Personally it would be freaky to me getting mugged and having to tell the crook to hold on while I rack my gun back. Stay safe buddy. [:)]0 -
