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

[26 Inf]

A day of combatives or force on force would change one’s mind quickly. The gun becomes quite useless quickly.

I don't know how much research you've done, but my opinion is that most of the time folks are victims of either lack of SA or not following basic safety rules (same thing really).

When your impetus to draw is a gun coming towards you, you are already pretty far behind the power curve, thus my observation: Personally, I don't see my ability to draw and fire two rounds on top of each other in under 1.5, as the likely difference between my survival or demise when carrying concealed. You might also notice that I also wrote: but it is nice to have that option. I think you are giving that up with 'condition 3' carry.

Instinctive movement off the threat axis is your biggest friend when someone turns on you with a gun, as they say, action beats reaction. I spent several years training before I realized that despite what I said, I couldn't prevent officers getting caught with their thumb up their rectum, and began focusing on 'move, damnit, move' in the classes I taught. In that respect instinctive movement short circuits the bad guy's OODA loop and plunks the officer ahead, making the bad guy the reactor.

Also this, A day of combatives or force on force would change one’s mind quickly. The gun becomes quite useless quickly not saying this about you or folks you train with, but most folks really don't know how to conduct quality force-on-force training.

Finally, no where did I endorse 'condition 3' carry.

I didn’t say you endorsed condition three, did I? Quit being so damn sensitive!

I think you blew your load here. You just drew on a friendly.

Well, okay, sorry I misinterpreted.

I voted a while back, but never posted.
5.

5 is my bare minimum. I generally prefer more (G17 or 19 at work), but "5" are always on me.
Warm weather (I bust out tank tops above 65)? 5.
Jogging? 5.
Kids birthday parties/function where waist high little vectors are running all over and bumping into me? 5.
Traveling in a capacity-restricted state? 5.

I can carry more, and I frequently do. Weather, attire, and activity permitting, I carry the G19. But 5 is the bottom line, not because it's some sort of ideal, but because it can always be on me. I also practice with "5" a lot. Not as much as I should, but more than others. Had a good range session last week in fact, working reloads, reaction hand, and drawing/shooting from my back. My plan in the new year is to get more practice, maybe a class.

Speaking of being sensitive.... Slow your roll.

Here's a note for our viewers at home. It's rarely a good idea to draw attention to yourself when you've been banned multiple times under previous usernames.

redpillregret, it's really not a good idea to sneak back in with a troll account. We banned you multiple times under multiple names. Just stay banned, tylerw02.

Man, now I feel bad. I kind of liked him. I generally like most of the folks I back and forth with.

I feel okay with 8.

During warmer weather a J Frame with one or two speed strips is carried. During colder weather a 1911 with one extra magazine is carried.

I would also be curious how many rounds per month a person fires and how many dry fire repetitions they perform each day.
