While I have not done extensive research, I would say that rarely does anyone involved in an actual life/death dynamic gun fight afterward say, "Boy, I'm sure glad I didn't have more capacity in my handgun and extra magazines with me. Phew!"

I have very little wheel gun experience, obviously. I loaded hot 357 loads with 38 Special, every other one in the cylinder, and shot a course of fire yesterday. Shooting under stress, the difference between the rounds was not noticeable enough for me to rely on a "hot round" being my empty notification. YMMV.
Let's say you carry a S&W .500 Magnum concealed.
You could load the first four chambers with Magtech reduced load ammo:

This is a 325 grain JHP generating "only" 1370 foot pounds energy.
The fifth chamber you load with these:

440 grains generating close to 2600 foot pounds.
You could tell that was your last shot.
