I carry 6 and load 5. The idea of 4 and back in the game is interesting but then you have to index so you're not pulling the trigger on an empty round. Whichever you choose you better be practicing because under pressure you'll be relying on gross motor skills to preform the reload and come up ready to fire, quickly. I like to carry at least one speed loader and two speed strips for this reason.
This whole "what if" game is what led us to semi autos in law enforcement in the first place. A quick reload with a magazine and back in the fight. Play the "what if" game long enough and you end up with a 12 ga. Riot Gun or a Service Rifle.
