I believe folks should be able to carry what ever they want. You want to carry something with 100 rounds on board, you do you.
But I just want folks to see capacity itself being the goal may not be the most important aspect of the equation.
I've discussed this before, but last year I bought an lcp max to possibly supplant the j frame. I spent a lot of time with the max and found it slower to present and decidedly less accurate. Granted, I've been shooting this airweight since 2008. If I posted pictures, boy, she sure is ugly. I don't think I've seen the original finish since Obama was president.
However, I can shoot it from the draw fast and accurately. I can stage the trigger and ring steel gongs out as far as they go (30 yards +).
Reading about the greenwood mall shooting at 40 yards, I am better off with my j frame and a spare, or a reload, where I can place them at distance quickly vs the max that seemed to lack accuracy even at close range (10 yards <under). I went back to what works for me.
Now, I had a hellcat and ec9 that made it easy to shoot well and may pick up those again at another point. Sometimes I want more than a revolvers capacity on hand. Neither present as quickly or carry as easily for me.
