Carry Ammo Count

I usually carry my Sig DAK45 in a fanny pack w a couple of extra mags, cuffs and a flashlight. The very least I leave the house with is a j-frame in an ankle holster or a pocket.
 
I love my Glock 30...

but after reading you guys , made up my mind for a S&W 325PD 4'' .45ACP ; say you get hit , limp wrist will get you if you were using a semi auto, even during a self defense fight. I experience limp wrist while practicing with my Glock 30 and a local friend told me about it later ....with a revolver, that will not happen; besides, you can shoot any type of ammo , lead or whatever which I cannot use in the Glock. I reload all my .45 ammo , 185 gr, 200 gr, wadcutter and 255 gr lead slug, 230 round nose, ect....I use full moon clips that I have for my Webley MK VI , one in the gun, and 4 in a belt pouch and those can be reloaded in the gun REAL fast and are not in my way. Besides, I retreive them nice and clean for reloading.. I hope to get that Smith soon, for now, I 'll use the Glock and will remember your comments about limp wrist. Real nice reading and lots of ideas ...thanks, Dan:)
 
Have had a clinton mag fail ( bottom blew out) at the wrong time with my BHP, I will not go out without a spare mag now.
 
1911 commander with a 8+1, 2 more 10 rounders in a custom back pocket wallet/mag holder... occasionally a BUG< usually on rent collection days. My brief case usually has 4 loaded mags for 1911, and that goes most of where I go. WHy? because I can.

Just to pull a buddy's leg who carries just a J frame, I showed up at his work carrying my usual load and a Galco shoulder holster with a G27 and 2 G18 33 rounds hanging from the mag pounches, yeah I made some extension snaps to hold them in, but it was more a gag.
 
I carry only 7 or 8 rounds of .45 ACP, depending on gun. Sometimes 10 rounds of 9mm. Usually any of the above is supplemented with BUG of 8 rounds of .32 ACP. Never an extra mag.
 
Any weapon I have will be supplemented with 2 extra mags. That's just me.

Even 15-17 rounds of ammo will give you about 30 seconds tops of good firefight. I want to be able to last out a little bit longer if it ever comes down to that (which would be a rare event).
