Are there any stats posted anywhere on the net that shows data detailing the number of shots fired by a civilian in a justified self defense shooting?
For MOST situations, whatever one magazine holds should probably be just fine.
However, if I'm confronted by a group of 4 thugs, that 5 shot J frame in my pocket isn't feeling as comforting anymore....
As well, with semi auto pistols, one of the biggest points of potential failure is the magazine. A magazine won't feed right? No problem, throw in another one.
Just my .02 on the subject.
