I remember some one( some gun writer... no I don't remember who) once said.   If you didn't fix the prob with the 1st 5, your not going to fix it with the next 5 or something to that effect.   if I was going to carry a reload, it would be in a speed loader, from a pouch.

That sounds like Walt Rauch, one of Michael's buddies.  That might be true if you face only one opponent.  Maybe

Not being psychic, I don't know how many rounds I will need, so I prepare for the worst and assume more than one guy trying to punch my ticket.  I carry a snubby every day at work as a backup gun, and have one speed strip reload for it. (Two spare magazines for my primary.)  On those occassions when the snubby is the only gun I'm carrying, I carry two reloads.

I believe it was Walt Rauch and he said it on Shooting Gallery . Walt was the man that opened my eyes to the snubby before I saw that show on Shooting Gallery I wouldn't dream of carrying a snubby. I thought snubbies were useless as tits on a boar hog but after listening to what Walt had to say it made sense and now I am a snubby fan.

You are right.  Walt is the man.  Can't wait to see what knowledge he will impart to us in Best Defense.

I voted for no extra ammo. 

Great poll, by the way.
