For Those that Carry a Mini Revolver - Do You Carry a Reload?

[riadat]

i always carry a reload.

Suppose u have to shoot ur weapon and it is empty.

After the shooting, u need to reload.

What if you shoot someone and they have a friend who shows up a few minutes later seeking revenge?

Or some other weird scenario.  You shoot a couple loose pit bulls who are attacking.  Out of ammo, the pissed off 300 pound owner shows up.

Good points! I used to work with a fellow who loved handguns. As he told the story he was walking in the woods one day with a .357 and a .45 auto. He saw a snake and drew one of his guns and emptied it at the snake and did not score a hit. So he drew the other gun and emptied it and still did not hit the snake. The snake crawled away while he was reloading, but at least he had reloads!

(1) My 1 5/8" mini is snake head accurate. (2) If I think five shots might not be enough I carry a second (or third) mini.  I will more often carry a LR and a mag so I can have a choice. (3) The best solution to fast reloads is to not miss the first shot.
