spare revolver ammunition?

[Adam Helmer]

Contenderizer,

If you feel 5 rounds is "Enough", then bless you; I hope you never need a 6th or 7th round even if you are not in law enforcement.

I worked the street in real life and let me assure you that many detectives and agents also thought they did not need spare ammo. In an incident, most LEOs shot off ALL their ammo in a hurry and then stood there with an empty gun and NO spare ammo after the adreneline rush! As the firearms instructor for 100 agents, I always stressed the need for spare ammo at semi-annual qualifications based on real incidents. Better to have a few spare rounds and not need them than the OTHER way around.

Mr. 16 gauge,

Thanks for posting a very important thread. I carried a 6-round dump pouch for the .38 Special that snapped on the belt and was very low profile. If a fellow did not have that pouch, then put 2 or 3 rounds in your pocket-it does NOT take a full cylinder load to save your life! Just 2 or 3 rounds could make a BIG difference.
