So, the standard answer is "There's no such thing as too much." While I agree, the demands of concealed carry make you ask the question.
What is the minimum number of rounds you feel is "adequate" with a concealed firearm?
What brings it up for me is a race for next concealed carry pistol...I am a Glock fan and a .45 ACP fan and have become enamored with comparing the G36 to the G30. I've shot them both and have no problem with the shooting mechanics of either. Obviously however, the G36 is going to be significantly more comfortable to carry. (Significantly lighter, quite a bit thinner etc...) BTW...I tend to carry IWB @ 0330. Balance that against the fact that with 1 extra mag on tap, you are only carrying 13 rounds. With its thicker brother the 30, you get 21.
Yes, I know I could carry two extra mags, but at that point, why bother?
