Just that 2-3 times more capacity in a sidearm is IMHO very significant,
That statement is an age old myth that auto fans keep saying. I grant you that it’s accurate for someone going in danger that faces a firefight or a police officer that has to be ready for a fight every time he pulls a car over.
But for a “normal” person that carries a gun for personal defense that statement just doesn’t hold water. If you need to empty a weapon and reload to stop a fight, then who in the world are you in a fight with and where are you to get yourself in that kind of situation?
And if you get in that kind of a fight,,, I want to hear the excuse you or your lawyer come up with in court.
I have many of both types and I actually carry a Glock 26 most of the time but if I do go somewhere that I feel is not the safest place, than an S&W 21 (44special) is on my hip or a Charter arms Bulldog in 44.
You should carry what you feel most comfortable and proficient with, but to say that one gun is better due to the number of rounds, Nope doesn’t work<
