I have issues with carrying a cocked and locked 1911 concealed. Under the shoulder is one thing, even OWB as long as it has a thumb break that goes between the hammer and slide. IWB no way.

As far as capacity, as far as a full size the weight per round seems off to me. But to think you need all them bullets, probably not. 98% of the time a 5 shot revolver is fine.
