For the G27, 10 rounds is actually with a +1 mag extension. It can only hold that number in a standard mag. His backup mags are Glock 22 mags.

For the .45, I can only assume it is a Glock 30 with full size G21 mags as backup.

There would be little point in carrying a Glock 27 with a G22 mag sticking out the bottom of it. May as well carry a G22.

The doctor has no clue that you shoot to stop the attacker.

If that means you shoot multiple times than that's what needs to be done in order to save your life and maybe others.

Sometimes doctors (among others...) may be book smart and street stupid.

Keep in mind that any grand jury or petit jury that you may find yourself in front of after a SD/HD shooting may be made up of the exact same type of people.

Re: Why one cop carries 145 rounds of ammo on the job

Why does he carry so many rounds? Because he knows.

Ammo is cheap, life is expensive. Ammo is heavy, regret is heavier.

I started concealing two spare mags after I read this the first time in 2009.
