I carry a Kimber, two 8 round mags and one7.mr1337 wrote:Absolutely. And it goes to show that even with one assailant, it's conceivable that you would need many more rounds than you think. Magazine limits are arbitrary, and they only succeed in limiting the ability of the law-abiding to protect themselves.
The article did not mention this - but according to Ofc. Wilson's testimony to the grand jury, he did have to rack the slide once, ejecting a round, after pulling the trigger twice with no bang. So that would put it at 2 fired inside the vehicle, 1 ejected after failing to fire, and 9 rounds outside the vehicle, leaving the last round in the chamber.
This shows that in a worst case scenario with a capacity limited magazine, you might not be able to get that many shots. Malfunctions are a real thing, and one fewer rounds could leave you dead.
Remember: There's no such thing as too much ammo.
With an 8 round mag loaded and one in the pipe that gives me 9 rounds. I figure if I hit the perp twice in the chest with 45 Hydroshocks, I will have six left over
I’m lazy. I don’t want to shoot the perp any more times than I have to in order to stop him.
