They’re more often 8-10 rounders these days, actually. From https://www.ballisticmag.com/2020/06/26/highest-selling-guns-2020-nssf/ - which is the last data I’ve seen posted; below is their magazine capacity without one in the chamber.

Top 10 Semi-Auto Pistols (Under Age 50)

Sig Sauer P320 - 17 rounds
Glock G19 - 15 rounds
Springfield Hellcat - microcompact class, 11 rounds
Sig Sauer P365 Nitron Micro-Compact - 10 rounds
Beretta M9A3 - 15 rounds
Smith & Wesson M&P9 Shield - microcompact, 7 or 8 rounds
Springfield XD(M) - 13-20 rounds, depending on version
Glock G19 GEN4 - 15 rounds
Glock G43 - 6 rounds
Beretta 92FS - 15 rounds

Top 10 Semi-Auto Pistols (Ages 50-99)

Sig Sauer P320 - 17 rounds
Springfield Hellcat - 11 rounds
Smith & Wesson M&P9 Shield - 7-8 rounds
Glock G19 - 15 rounds
Sig Sauer P365 Nitron Micro-Compact - 10 rounds
Kimber Stainless II - 8 rounds
Ruger Ruger-57 - 20 rounds
Beretta 92FS - 15 rounds
Beretta M9A3 - 15 rounds
KEL-TEC PMR-30 - 30 rounds

Most of what’s being sold right now has more than “6 or 7” - which bears out what my local ranges/stores are telling me. The new high-capacity microcompacts are the current hotness far and away.

I'll never argue against more capacity and it also depends where I am.

I live in a relatively homogeneous, low crime, Trump area and feel adequately armed to pump gas or go grocery shopping while carrying a J frame and a couple speed loaders.

Of course, I still carry other stuff in by backpack, readily at hand in the vehicle.

If I have to be in an iffy part of Pittsburgh, that's a different story.
