OP Bluedreaux Campfire Outfitter Joined: May 2007 Posts: 14,654 Texas	How did you decide how many rounds were enough? Paul Howe (guy from Blackhawk Down who runs a training company now) says he figures three rounds per bad guy as a safe rule. Sometimes you'll miss, sometimes they'll need a few rounds, so he figures a 3 round average. I've settled on four rounds per potential bad guy because I'm dealing exclusively with handgun rounds and with my family behind me I may tend to get a little carried away. So for me I've decided that although going from 8 to 10 rounds is better, it doesn't really get me excited about the increase. If I need more than 8 I want 12, and if I'm going to 12 I might as well have 15 in a Glock19ish sized gun. That puts we close enough to feel comfortable with 3 bad guys and to not be at slide lock when it's over. And 8 rounds is my very bare minimum (my smallest gun is a Shield that carries 8+1, and I rarely carry it). Originally Posted by SBTCO your flippant remarks which you so adeptly sling
