Depending on dress, weather, and situation, I have several guns of varying capacities and calibers that I classify as "carry guns." However, the majority of the time I carry, and feel quite comfortable, with a five-shot .38 Special revolver and an addition five rounds in a speed strip. Is it the ideal setup for fighting off multiple attackers? No, it probably isn't but then again if I'm attacked by multiple armed people willing to brave gunfire in order to accomplish their goal I will, in all probability, run out of time and distance long before I run out of ammunition regardless of the capacity of my handgun.
While capacity is certainly an attribute that should be considered, it isn't the only piece of the puzzle nor, in most cases, the most important piece of the puzzle. For me, the other positive attributes of a small revolver outweigh its limited capacity.
