On more than one occasion over the years, I have nodded appreciatively at the good advice of nearly every shooting instructor I have ever listened to: "Carry a reload." On my rare forays into teaching combat shooting, I personally told my students to be sure they had at least enough ammo on them to completely reload their chosen gun at least once. It is a common axiom and it should be obvious that an empty gun in the middle of a firefight is worse than useless. Yet, this simple rule is probably the most violated one in the short list of "Do's" of defensive shooting. Although I knew I was making a mistake, I have periodically violated this rule, so I am sympathetic to your plight. In the case of a small auto, a second magazine can be carried easily and the best way to carry five rounds of ammo for the J frame is one of the new five-round Quick Strips from Tuff Products. They have a nylon pouch that takes one strip or, better yet, a holster that positions a loaded strip behind the gun. By dint of a simple device, I have been absolved of the hypocrisy that comes from comes from saying one thing and doing another. Good Show!
