Gun fights are complicated and no 2 are the same.

If you are in a line of work that will get you the attention of criminals then you should have multiple weapons as well as spare mags.

Our family business generates up to $us100 000 a day in turnover, 99% in cash and is in a terribly dangerous area in South Africa so we have seen lots of action.

There have been 8 attempts and we won everytime. Bad guys over here usually have some sort of military training so they not the usuall drug addict. One has to be smart to win.

That being said, when i am not doing things that could attract the attention of criminals like going to a restaurant, i will usually only carry a 38 snub, no gang is gonna use their resources to attack one guy sitting in a restaurant. One or 2 low level wanna be bad guys maybe, not a gang.

If you fire 3or4 shots keep the mag in your gun. A tactical reload, while it makes sense only opens the risk of fumbling and having to pick up your mags from the ground. What happens if the base plate splits and the rounds, spring and follower fly all over the place?
