[QUOTE="Glock 'em down, post: 1196907, member: 684"] I agree that proper training is crutial. But to most armed citizens, it just doesn't happen. But when you know that you only have 5 or 6 rounds and not 15, then yes, you are less likely to "spray and pray" (ah...there's that phrase) and conserve your ammo, making every round count. So yeah, I suppose your accuracy level does rise when totin' a wheelgun. ;) Yes, I carry at least one reload for every weapon I carry. I've been an advocate for that since the git go. The same way I've preached the back up gun. Some see this as a liability when placed in a defense attorney's hands. I see it as merely the "spare tire" theory. There's a place for vigilance and a place for stupidity. If you are LE that's one thing. If you are Joe Blow, you're setting yourself up for disaster. I know we all want to be heroes and save the :censored:ING day. But in a mall shooting where the assailants are obviously out of their minds and shooting everything that moves, you are a bigger hero as a witness instead of a makeshift crime fighter. Dead heroes make lousy witnesses. :disappoin [/QUOTE]
