I believe that 2 shots will be enough for any situation I'm at all likely to encounter. I like 5+, though.
Screw it.
Carry what makes you feel warm and fuzzy. That's what I do.
A buddy of mine sold his GP100(STUPID!!) and got a Block 23, because he's been convinced by gun salesman that 6 rounds of 125 grain HP aren't enough.
I carry what I feel comfortable carrying.
Sometimes I carry a nunya, and other times I carry a nunya or two.
I may even carry a nunya spray and a telescopic nunya.
If you haven't hit your target in six you are most likely never going to need any extras. 15-20 misses don't count for much.
personal attacks don't belong on the high road, warp. just because you don't agree with someone doesn't give you the right to belittle them.

I have to say that I though there must have been some moderation/deletion when I saw someone pulled the personal attack card.
What you stated in post 454 is as spot on as it gets. I think some of these people are delusional at best when they make statements like those in post 453.

I'm going to end one more sentence with the word GP100.
Wonder what would have happened had he run out of rounds early in the fight--say after he fired only 6 shots...He received multiple hits, one perp dead, one out of commission and one fled. He was lucky to survive and had two rounds left.
Madcap, by gosh I think you got it! The fact is we never know ahead of time what the immediate future holds in the way of a zombie challenge; it may be one zombie or two or three or maybe more. But the fact is (and statistically speaking) most encounters will entail just one suspect, in which case each of us has to decide if we're comfortable rolling the dice with the stats or packing extra heat for the occasional zombie hoard that we may come across. Personally, there aren't too many known threats in my immediate area or at most of the places I travel to, so I feel comfortable with a 5-shot snubby. But if I lived in or worked in Detroit or some other hell hole then, yes, I would up the odds in my favor by carrying a bigger gun. I'm an average citizen not a Special Ops commando, so I carry accordingly ... otherwise if I tried to plan for ever conceivable scenario I would wind up strapping a full-up AR-15 to my back and hang a Glock 21 on each hip. I'm just saying.
Is "most" 51%, or 55%, or 60? Want to bet your life on it?Posted by Chilibreath: But the fact is (and statistically speaking) most encounters will entail just one suspect, ...
The likelihood that one will be attacked by a violent criminal actor on any one day is far less than remote. The likelihood that it will happen during one's lifetime, however, is much, much greater. And if it does happen, the likelihood that there will be more than one assailant is far from insignificant.Personally, there aren't too many known threats in my immediate area or at most of the places I travel to,...
So did I, before I really thought about it, but a subjective feeling of comfort is not a very useful commodity....so I feel comfortable with a 5-shot snubby.
