I certainly wouldn't lose any sleep over having ONLY 8 rounds of .357 magnum. Sure there could be a situation where that's not enough. Of course there is a situation where a Glock 17 with several 33 round magazines wouldn't be enough. Think how many people are out there with less than 8 rounds of 9mm, .40 or .45. Heck, think of how many are out there with absolutely nothing! Get proficient with it and I think you are about as prepared as you need to be realistically.
