And I find it fantastic for those that say that no matter how many rounds you have, that extra one is the one you're going to need. Right.
What I find surreal is that someone doesn't understand this fundamental principle: It is better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

Do I think that the extra round is the one that I'll need in a fight? Probably not. Between the 7 in the mag and 7 in the spare, I'll most likely have enough to fight or make an covered retreat. But -- there's always that chance, however remote, that the 15th round is the one that is critical. It is a little extra insurance, and one that is cheap and trivially simple to implement. It comes at little cost in weight, bulk or reliability. I mean, why WOULDN'T you carry that extra round, assuming that you are carrying with 1 in the pipe? Why go out of your way to handicap yourself? That's what I find puzzling.
