[QUOTE="Frederick, post: 3003448, member: 17825"] 5-6 rounds is usually enough for most encounters. It's very rare to get into a bonafide shootout that involves any reloading at all. Usually the bad guys are running away or the threat is neutralized by the time you get to the 5th or 6th round. There's a variant of an old saying; the .380 with you is better than the .45 left at home. It's not gonna do you any good to need a gun and not have it. Carry what you're comfortable with. It's a personal decision with no right answer, and you can't predict what situation(s) might arise. I'd say carry an mag/speed loader or two and you'll be good to go. If that isn't enough, you better be looking for an escape. the idea is self-defense, not to wage a small war. More is always better, and if it were up to me i'd be carrying an AR-15 with a couple extra mags but that's not realistic. [/QUOTE]
