Re: how many bullets do you CHLers carry?
Ruger SR9c...ten round "concealed mag" +1 in chamber...and USUALLY a spare full-size 17-round mag...depends on the situation, though. I pretty much always wear untucked button up shirts, no matter the weather, so a leather pouch on my belt, next to my cell phone and multitool doesn't really look out of place, if a person even sees it at all.

I remembered the thread, but couldn't find it and then noticed Godzilla eater did.
I still carry the same. 40 rounds most of the time, 9+1 and 2x15 spares. If I'm carrying light I just drop one of the spare mags to give me 25 rounds.

Sig P220 (My EDC) - 2 8 rnd mags + 1 in the pipe = 17
Ruger P89 - 2 15 rnd mags + 1 10 rnd mag + 1 in the pipe = 41
Though the P89 rarely goes anywhere except to the range.

7+1 in the Commander or the Officers and two spare 7 rounders....
Re: how many bullets do you CHLers carry?
My P-11 has a custom magazine so carry 12+1 and an extra magazine. Do I really need 25 rounds. Not likely but if your weapon jams its easier to drop the magazine than to clear a jam. Also I am carrying JHP in the gun and FMJ in the spare magazine. Thus if I was in a situation where I needed more object penatration could quickly switch to FMJ.
My Bersa is 17+1 and rather heavy to carry. Love to shoot it and it's a more dependable and accurate gun. Only use it for IDPA so for competition carry two extra magazines but they only allow you to load 10 rounds per. This is due to the fact that many competitors have these rather lame guns they must have brought in california and can only hold 10.
Growing up my father was very sparing of ammo when we hunted. One bullet dinner on the table. Two bullets and you needed to come up with a pretty good story. That being said I had a friend that used a shotgun to bring down his first deer and it took 9 shots

Seriously, I have several different answers, depending on where I am going and how I am dressed.
Most often: 7 + 1 in a Kel-Tec PF9, sometimes with a spare mag for a total of 15 rounds
Preferred: 13 + 1 in Glock 23 with a spare 13-rd mag for a total of 27 rounds
Fairly often: Combination of preferred and most often carry methods: Glock 23 - 27 rounds + Kel-tec - 8 rounds = 35 total rounds
Occasionally: Ruger GP100 4" with 6 rounds of .357 Mag
Growing on me: Beretta 92 - 18 + 1, with extra 18-round mag. Frequently with Kel-Tec BUG
That translates to anywhere from 6 total rounds up to 45 total rounds. Why? Because I can.
Remember, in a life-or-death situation, when seconds count, the police are only minutes away.
