I carry 9 shots of 9mm with an additional 8 in a reload. I know that when I'm calm I can put them all in an 8 inch diameter circle at 15 yards. I know I need more training to do it quickly.
Its difficult for me to imagine needing more than six shots before I can get away in any realistic situation (2 guys, 3 shots each before somebody or I am running away). However it's not difficult to carry an extra 8rd single stack magazine - I always have it on my belt even if I don't have my gun.
edit- I don't carry my gun where it's illegal, namely: places that sell liquor and the college campus where I work
