Do not shoot the monitor until you're sure the background is clear.

I may have said you can never have too much ammo loaded, well maybe i was bit wrong. it reminded me of some dude that said if you don't have at least 200 30 round mags loaded you're not ready. Think i said dude, that's 5000 rounds. if you are facing that many enemies then you ain't got a chance anyway. lol he was always telling newbies they needed that many loaded. someone did ask him to prove he had that many mags loaded and he did. he had a footlocker lined up with them.

Hahaha even I dont have that many LOADED mags

I have gone the other way as I have gotten older, in over .45 years of carrying I have never felt the need for more than one extra mag. Now at 70 I have moved to single stack mags.

I'm carrying 15+1 with a extra 17 .... Not adding another magazine.

Most days I have a bag in my truck with another pistol and 2 PCC guns for my wife and I

Drums is better.

Banjos are even better.

I usually have my stuff all preloaded for the range. So if it’s a house invasion, they better run. I know I have a small arsenal but I like having 5 mags per each gun and some of them work with other firearms.

".45 years" ?

That's almost a whole year.

I do the same thing. When I turned .22 I'd been drinking for a whole year.

Or maybe since I was 17.

More magazine capacity is never a bad thing …. Unless your in water over your head or on fire.

Disclaimer: I’ve never been on fire, in the water with gun and ammo over my head or even been in a gunfight. However, I have given a lot of thought to the topic.

Capacity gives me options.

That said, let’s all be honest. It is not about shooting more. It is about manipulating less.

If I have a 1911 and I have shot 3-4 rounds and there is a pause in the engagement I’m in, I am likely going to be thinking about how many shots did I get off and should I be reloading? That puts me out of the fight and breaks any concentration I have.

OTOH, If I am running a gun that has an 15+ round capacity then after 3-5 shots I am not too worried about it and I can focus on important things like finding an exit or continuing the fight if the threat or threats have not been effectively dealt with.

There is no optimal equipment for every scenario. Pick your load out based on what you are most likely going to encounter or expect to engage with.

Let’s all stay safe out there and keep your head on a swivel.

If I get a pause in the action my Chicken*** is making vacate maneuvers
