How many rounds are you comfortable with in a carry pistol?

In the extraordinarily unlikely event I would ever need to use a firearm in self defense it would be vastly more unlikely that I would need more than 5 rounds to do it.

I carry a G17, more because it's easier for me to shoot it well than smaller guns and I can still conceal it easily, rather than because it holds a lot of ammunition. I carry a spare mag, more because I might have a stoppage than I might need 30+ rounds. I'm pretty comfortable with 10 or more rds in the gun.

Weird shit tends to happen though.

I picked 7-10 since I usually carry a Shield. In winter months, I tend to carry a G19.

I just cannot get a G19 to conceal well, and I'm very fit. I carry a G43 with extended magazines, but I secretly do not feel comfortable with the low round capacity.

Always carry my G19 with a spare magazine. With an average of 3-4 rounds per target to disable per FBI statistics and you encounter a 3 on one scenario, you will have just enough ammo. And the spare magazine is for the old saying, 2 is 1 and 1 is none. If your primary magazine fails, you better have a backup.

How are you carrying? I know many skinny/fit people that can conceal a g19 appendix with a raven concealment holster.

Appendix with a KMFJ holster. I've been kicking around the idea of picking up a T Rex Sidecar.

I have no affiliations with Tier 1 Concealment but their Agis is pretty sweet. It's very comfortable for me and I can hide a G19 and spare mag no problems. I'm not fit at all.
