Friend, questions like this are why the internet exists. There will be those that don't like it and those that do. It's the endless caliber/capacity/type/oil debate; there is no correct answer.
Statistics say that only two or three shots are enough. Alas, there is always a chance you'll need another round. No one ever left a gun fight thinking, "Man I wish I had brought less ammo." But those who say 5 is enough are not wrong either.
I choose to look at it a different way; which gun do you shoot best? If it's a 1911, then carry that. If it's a NAA micro gun, carry that. If it's a .38Spl snubby, carry that. The gun you shoot best, or feel best with, is the gun that you'll be more able to defend yourself with when you're panicked, stressed and just trying to live to tomorrow.
