As a former deputy sheriff, I would like to point out that I carried six rounds in the revolver and twelve more in speed loaders. A box of 50 was located in my patrol car. While serving in the Marines during Vietnam, my T,O & E weapon was a 1911A1 with three issued magazines (and an extra one in a pocket.) Just because you have weaponry that can hold 17 rounds and you're carrying two more magazines with 17 rounds each, how long are you going to stay engaged to an assailant before fleeing the scene? Handguns are for defensive use only, so defend yourself and get out of Dodge! Just my opinion.
