Not my gunfight; but one I’m familiar with. The owner of a club had pulled up to open up his nightclub. Some young adults were sitting in a car waiting for the club to open up. They had gotten an early start on the evening and were chasing each other round the parking lot. One man threw a garbage can at the other, striking the club owner’s vehicle instead.
When the club owner protested, they came up to his door and got in his face. He showed the men his Glock 19 in an attempt to scare them off. Instead, it just enraged them as one of them pulled up his shirt to show a S&W Shield while the other tried to pull him from the vehicle.
The club owner then became engaged in a running gunfight as the two men ran around his car shooting at him with the single gun while he sat trapped in a sheet metal box. He fired 19 rounds total. He killed one of the attackers and wounded another. He then used the Glock to hold off a third person who jumped out of the car and tried to retrieve the Shield to continue the fight.
So, the club owner needed the two 15 round mags he was carrying to come out victorious and might have well had to keep shooting past 19 rounds. On the other hand, the seven round magazine in the Shield was enough for three people to use unsuccessfully.
