Hello all. I've lurked and read these forums for a number of years without an account, but I do have a question that prompted me to make one. This is a subject I've been doing a lot of reading about lately, but I wanted to get the perspective of the fine folks here.
As of right now, I have a Glock 19 Gen 4 and an HK45C. I find both to be very concealable, even the HK45C with the 10 round elephant foot magazine. I've normally been carrying the HK45C because, for whatever reason, I shoot it better than my Glock 19 despite being in .45 Auto. This could be because I've shot it a lotmore, as I have a steady supply of .45 ammunition, but I think the trigger is more suited to me too. Anyway, I like carrying the HK45C, though I wonder if I'm at a significant disadvantage with 10+1 rounds in the pistol. I do carry 3 spare 10 round magazines on me as well. I don't live in a ban state.
In a day and age where multiple attackers in a self defense situation is far from an impossibility (or multiple feral dogs, etc), is 10+1 rounds on board really enough? I do prefer my HK and have more experience with it, it was my first centerfire pistol and it's what I've practiced the most with. I also have more .45 ammunition on hand and available. Having had to shoot medium-sized animals with both 9mm and .45 using quality ammunition and having the opportunity to examine how they do against bone, I do have a little more faith in the .45 with regards to the types of animals around here.
Thanks.
