Did some googling recently that says most gunfights follow the FBI rule of 3s. Averages of 3 yards, 3 seconds and 3 rounds.

Other sources say 3-7 rounds.

The Glock 43X is criticized for being a 10+1 firearm with many faulting it for that.

Yet it seems you don’t really need 10 rounds and with a magazine extra, you bring 20 which is plenty.

At 10 rounds it’s small, compact and very capable. So why all the fuss over rounds when stats suggest otherwise? And you can always bring a mag extra. (Don’t even need the smith and Wesson expanded mags necessarily)

Please let me know what you all think.

My logic is that for civilian self defense one loaded Glock 43X is plenty (esp if an extra clip is available).
As a California resident I’m stuck with 10+1 (actually 10 since I don’t keep it loaded) for my Glock 17.
