used to shoot bowling pins,now I know they don't shoot back so don't go there. had the '93 shotgun champion explain when I asked why he didnt have an extended mag tube "the absolute fastest way to get 5 pins off the table is with 5 shots if I miss more than once I'd lose anyway"

3-4 rounds average per gunfight. Still true?

Mav,
Jim Cirillo, of the NYPD Stakeout Squad, used his revolver to get hits on three bad guys with just his six shots. He knew he had only six so he used them right!

the older I get the smarter dad was, used to hate he made me put just one round at a time in my shotty hunting,but I learned to make it count.
Thanks to him now even when I shoot my benelli my mind thinks one shot one bird.
In SD make every shot count you may not get another.

This digresses from centerline slightly, but as a Hunter Safety Instructor, I disagreed that our State had the special season for black powder after the regular deer gun season.
If it was held before the regular season, there would be more hunters interested in single shot black powder guns (in order to get in on the first Opening Day), and it may break some of them of the habit of attempting to empty all ten rounds from an SKS at a running deer.
Again, it can influence the psyche of the man with the gun, and reinforce positive behavior enough to (hopefully) develop it into the habit of making every shot a single shot, even if it is from a large capacity automatic.
Ask a shooter in a Service Rifle Match. He shoots 10 rapid fire rounds at 300 yards with a magazine change required, and a competitive rifleman will NEVER fire a miss (he may shoot an 8 or a 9, but not a miss).

Here in Houston there are alot of gangs and with that being said you most likely wont see a BG by himself. Even since Katrina we got in about 300,000 refugees from Louisiana and we soon became the next murder capital.
I always carry 4 magazine with me and when I purchase I firearm one of the main things I look for is how much ammo it can carry. I go to the range on a regular basis so having extra magazines comes in handy both ways.

I'm curious if anybody has any data on folks with a 5, or 6 shot revolver running out of ammuntion and then getting blown away by the BG ? I liked the situation presented by Lon308, "... where the 12 missed rounds from their first course of fire went."
3 rounds in 5, 6 seconds ... 3 hits.
15 rounds in 5, 6 seconds ... 3 hits.
It seems if the ammunition is a smaller amount, more 'care' is exercised where it goes.
