Solves the problem.
Learn to reload. Carry an extra mag or two on your belt.
In the real world if you have time to draw in the first place, you likely have time to reload ... if you are practiced.
I better buy a Draco while can.
He related to me that his dad told him once, when there was trouble, to "just put lead in the air, Jimmie".
Isn’t the relative stopping power of a 9mm vs a 45 between 3:1 or 4:1?
Doesn’t this mean you have to 3 bullets in your semi vs 1 in a revolver to equal the required stopping power for one attacker?
If so, this means a mag of 10 is just sufficient for 3 attackers and either you need another mag or an extended mag to ensure that you have the same stopping power of the 45 revolver.
Not an expert, but I believe this was what was explained to me by my local gun expert a few years ago.
Kel-Tec has a nice looking plinker that holds 30 rounds of .22 Magnum. Hopefully, they will make one that can fire .22LR as well.

How I responded to a lefty regarding magazine rounds:
1) Shouldn’t ‘people of color’ be allowed to defend themselves from a group of 18 armed rednecks that always get guns like a crackhead can get smack???
2) Shouldn’t females who wish to exercise their reproductive rights, be allowed to defend themselves, with a gun with enough ammo against the Christian Taliban reacting to Sarah Palin’s angry rhetoric??
3) A gay person should have enough rounds to defend themselves against the homophobic crowd often found in rural areas. No More Matthew Shepards please!!!
4) Shouldn’t a progressive liberal trapped in NASCAR country have a large enough magazine round to defend themselves from Southerners who wish to restart the Civil War???
The whole issue with magazine capacity boils down to incrementalism, or disarmament by a thousand cuts. (Sorry about the butchered metaphor, but that’s my specialty.)
If the guv can limit magazines to 10 rounds, they can limit them to 8, then 5, then 2, then 1, and then, whoops! You don’t really need a gun any more, because it can only legally contain zero rounds of ammo.
Never be distracted from the end game of gun control, which is complete and utter civilian disarmament.
More is always better when you are talking about how many rounds a firearm can hold.
The “Center Mass” Myth and Ending a Gunfight

“Lots of people stay in the fight after “center mass” hits, and some even win it... One, two or even several well placed “center mass” shots may not do what you think it will...”
The author,Jim Higginbotham, who has had decades of LEO experience makes the case that even in the case of lethal hits, the perp has enough time to fire back, and in many cases kill people who were waiting to see the effect of their initial hits on target.
As a civilian, I found this article to be a real eye opener, and while it may be old news to those of you in law enforcement or the military (thank you all for your service), I hope you will take the time to read this article. God forbid any of us should get into a gunfight, but this article could be a lifesaver someday.
Someone intent on doing harm will always figure out a way around the rules.
