Then it occurred to me that adding another round would not, in any way, hinder me in reloading the first 5, but would give me an additional round, if needed, at no extra effort. Acknowledging that the likelihood that any of us non-sworn individuals will ever need the eleventh round is astronomical, I wonder how many others only carry 5 rounds in their carriers that were built for 6.

Let me respond to this with a few questions:
1. Is 6 rounds more than 5?
2. Is it better to need the 6th round and not have it than to have it and not need it?
3. Do six rounds constitute more additional bulk and weight so it would make any difference over 5?
4. Will having a 6th round in a speed strip hinder the reloading of the revolver in any way?
5. What is the capacity of the speed strip?
6. Will the Gods of reloading not smile on you if you carry 6 instead of 5? Or will they?
7. What to give the 11th bad guy for his trouble?
8. What's a brain for?
And finally:
9. What would Jeff Cooper do?
Now, back to our regularly scheduled program.
