I sold a Glock 43 and replaced it with an S&W Airweight.
But then, I think the “imagine yourself as a gunfighter” gun porn articles are mostly BS.
If I need more than five rounds, ten won’t be all that different.
Given law enforcement miss something like 6 out of 10 rounds fired and it takes on average takes 3 rounds to drop an assailant.. anything less than 9 rounds is saying you will perform better in a discharge situation than trained law enforcement.
You may be that good… but it’s a far cry from range shooting and actual live situation.
Any gun is better than no gun if you need one, but I personally wouldn’t choose to carry anything that holds at least 10 rounds
I had a Springfield XD-40 with a couple 11 round magazines that I used to carry when I’d go hunting with my one shot muzzleloader because there had been sightings of mountain lions.
A guy I was going to school with was recommending getting higher capacity magazines. Told him if they found me later and my gun was empty, I had it coming.
I bought my wife the S&W Airwieght years ago, but if I’m not carrying my 43, I steal it from her. She ends up left with her Bodyguard .380 popgun. But she’s a better shot than me, so she can usually be center mass if necessary.
