But remember, the only times you can have too much ammo are if you're on fire or drowning.
hahaha good one... I guess one has to find the compromise between statistics, confort of carrying, training, conceivability, etc etc etc

Same here, one reload. Except I'm carrying a single stack .380 or 9mm and sometimes an sp101 with +p+ 38 specials.One reload for whatever I'm carrying. Most of the time that's a single stack
.40 or .45, on occasion it's a J frame .38.
If i need more than that you will see me running and screaming through the woods.
sharkbite said:SO... You chose your path.
A.. Sit there and be another victim?
B...Draw your 5 shot J frame with NO RELOAD? Trying to stop mtpl attackers with a small hard to shoot gun that only has 5 Rounds TOTAL
C...Draw your Glock/M&P/1911/any full sized FIGHTING handgun and use the skills you have honed thru diligent training and practice on the range.
I don't intend on getting into any long protracted fire fights, especially with the jframe. 2 or 3 fast shots at point blank range at my assailant(s) and I'm headed in the other direction (either for help or for a bigger gun). He'd be a fool to try and follow me.
Now, some will say (see some of the above posts), that "he was a cop and im not...so i wont be involved in a situation like that". Ok, lets explore the line between offduty LEO's and the armed citizen. A lot of people think that because we have a badge in our wallet, that somehow makes the ACTUAL fighting different. It does not. It might change why and when we fight. But the skillsets are the same
