6+1 should be more than sufficient

I carry to mags no matter what. carry what makes u comfortable

S&W 642 x five shots most days. I have discharged it twice to take (snake) lives.

But I live on a dirt road in the country; keeping one or two shots handy for a copperhead makes me feel cozy. If I worked swing-shift in east Los Angeles, not so much. In the long run, more situational awareness protects you better than more bullets. If I carried a Mac-10 when I walked the dog I'd STILL be careful where I put my feet.

Your not trying to get in a shootout. 6+1 will get you to cover.

personal preference. For me, on a regular day, no. It's why I carry a .40 as opposed to a .45. Situation always dictates though. In the area I live, meth is a big problem. It's why our local LEO'S switched from 9mm to .40s; more stopping power about sacrificing the ammo capacity that a .45 would take. Personally, if I have a guy on meth coming at me I'd take the extra rounds any day. I never carry a revolver as a primary unless absolutely necessary.

6+1 is plenty. More rounds is fine as well.

I carry the xdm .40 it has 16+1, I do a lot of long drives plus you never know but a 6+1 for like a .357 would make me happy too.

You can never have too much ammunition.

7 is always enough until the day it isn't.

I don't understand the aversion to carrying reloads.

.

You can never have enough rounds to feel safe but I think iylt really depends on the threat and how good of a shot you are

6+1 isn't enough in my opinion. I carry 9+1 plus an extra 9 just in case. I've never heard someone say I had too much ammo in a gun fight. lol

Whatever amount YOU feel comfortable with ...but i do have 100 rounds in glove box of all cars

I carry my XD 40 13+1 + ANOTHER 13 mag. It feels right to me if the SHTF I have my Tristar pump shotgun with pdx shells and my AR15 with 100 round beta mag loaded in my trunk.

Its about bullet placement not how many u have! People have been shot multiple times with a 45cal an lived!
