I don't think anyone can foresee all potential situations. As a result, when carrying one of my J-frames, I carry a couple of speed strips and/or a couple of speed loaders or any combination thereof. While the odds are not good that there will ever be a need for a reload, none of us know how a situation is going to evolve.

If carrying a semi-auto, with or without a BUG, I always carry a spare magazine. This is only partially for the off-chance that I'll need more ammunition after expending a full magazine, and more for the potential of a magazine or ammunition failure.In my experience, center mass shots may or may not stop a suspect, depending upon mindset, intoxication level, etc. Anyone who thinks that the "one-shot stop" is a certainty may be deluding themselves. Extra ammunition is cheap insurance in many situations.
