If you want to count on those statistics and beliefs then we won't stop you, and I respect your right to think and carry how you choose to do so, and I can't fault you for making the decision to carry that way if you do it consistently and it works for you. However, I still think that a limiting notion like the one you have adopted is philosophically against the mentality of carry and preparedness in general, though, and that is why I personally opt for bigger guns and more ammo if I can get it without compromising concealment. I want to be prepared for worst case scenarios up to and including multiple assailants, like with a gang attack, or assailants with bigger guns than mine, like mass shooters. I also want to account for gun and magazine malfunctions, misses and the need for multiple hits if it comes down to it, which is not something that a subcompact or micro gun with one lone magazine will cover. I reiterate, I think it's great that you and probably millions of others have found those guns and have found a way to carry them consistently, but I still think that carry is philosophically about preparedness and that one should maximize their preparedness with their choice of gun and loadout, not minimize it based on arbitrary statistics or assumptions of the threats they may face. All due respect, we are carry brothers and I support that you carry 100 percent, but I implore you to reconsider your mentality and philosophy of your carry method for your own sake. Do with that what you will and whatever you do, keep carrying and stay safe.
