Back in the 80’s I felt comfortable with a J frame snubby and a 5 shot speed loader for EDC. Once the street urchins started carrying high capacity autos, I changed my tactics. I now carry a minimum 9 shot 9mm auto pistol with at least one spare. I carry a pocket flashlight, and a knife also. Once you get used to carrying these things, you feel naked without them.
