Most of the forgoing is true for service size handguns but I think not so much for small autos compared to things like the J frame Smith & Wesson and the like. For them it might still be 5 for sure.
That may have been true in the time of the Walther PPK/s and the ilk. Once we got the G43, LC9, Shield and XDS, that all went away. I carried a J every day for years. I went over to the 43 a few years ago and haven't looked back.
