For me at least, its not a matter of do I think im good enough.

I know for a fact I will never be able to mentally construct a gunfight unless I am actually in one. Which means that while I can practice and get very efficient, I can not predict EXACTLY how my body will react to the massive amounts of adrenaline being pumped into me. It seems like most real life gunfights I have seen in videos show the shooters (depending on what kind of weapon they have) firing multiple shots at their target very rapidly before stopping to assess the outcome.

And why shouldn't they? All its gonna take is for the BG to flick up his wrist and squeeze that trigger to end your existence. I am pretty sure than in an SD situation once I started firing it would be 2 shots a second until something happened that let me know the threat was over. With that said, I think an extra mag/speedloader, even with a 5 shot snub, is going to be more than enough. I think that the first time the gun clicks its going to be a reality check on your ammo situation.
