Currently I carry an 11 shot 45 on my right hip and an extra mag on my left. I don't think I need that much but I really like the pistol and it happens to hold 10+1. The mag on the other side just makes weight feel more balanced (Yes, OCD is hard to live with). But I never felt the least bit undergunned when I was carrying a 5 shot .357 for many years. Strange I never had to carry a reload in the left pocket. The only time I ever felt undergunned was when facing a rather ugly pitbull and all I had between it and my great dane was a keltec .32 and that had nothing to do with number of shots.
