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.

I find that the sixth round does "hinder" my ability to manipulate the speed strip. That is to say, I can handle a reload better with more rubber to hold on to. Therefore, I carry five rounds in the speed strip, in a Galco 2x2x2 belt holster.
