In my opinion, the business about a civilian CCW replacing magazines in a gunfight is way overdone and unrealistic.
Most CCW shootings involve 1 or 2 shots; supposedly the average is 2.1 shots, including LEO's.
It hard to imagine using nine 9mm slugs, and then needing more. I haven't been able to find a single published incident of a CCW holder running out of ammo in a real confrontation. There was one Texas situation where the bad guy had a Kevlar vest, but more ammo wouldn't have made a difference.
For most of us civilians, a P-38 would be just fine!
