Without a specific detailed scenario in mind, you can't give a ballpark number of how many rounds you might need.
I don't need X rounds. I need as many rounds as I can get to ensure that I have the best chance of survival in arbitrary self defense scenarios. We don't get to choose if, where, when, and how we'll have to use a gun in self defense.
If I pick a gun that's limited to 6 rounds, or 7+1, so be it. That's a functional trade-off in gun design and round effectiveness. What I think is criminally stupid is
artificial limitation on magazine capacity for a gun when its flush-fitting magazines are designed/capable of holding more.
