My preferred carry is a SP101. Just a meager 5 shots of .357 magnum or .38 special. Have never felt it was inadequate or felt I'd be "under gunned". Why? It works - period. Too many worry about capacity first. They put all the emphasis on capacity and then use fashion as a means of deciding on the gun itself. If they put as much emphasis on GOOD training and improving their ability, they'd understand that capacity gets trumped by shot placement.
