To be honest, I wouldn't feel any safer with17 rnds in my clip, but if you do, then you gotta use what works for you. The way I see it is that if 8 rnds hasn't done it, the guy is either retreating or on me by that point anyways(in which a physical altercation would then be the case, and I sure as hell am not going to let the guy have a chance of getting my piece with another 9 rnds to put in me), and if he isn't, I've surely explored the idea of a defensive position in which clip #2 goes in. Although I cannot plan precisely what any given situation would pan out to be, I can take comfort in knowing that I have what I need in both my firearm and my ability to defend myself should the firearm not be an issue. But that being said, I think of the firearm as the icing on the cake. Not something I plan to ever have to use.
