Compensating for low round count by carrying multiple reloads is flawed thinking IMO. The idea that you'll likely be able to reload in a civilian self-defense encounter is not realistic. These are almost always reactive close-quarter events which are generally resolved with what is in the gun. I'm talking pure self-defense, not cases of voluntarily intervention. The majority of defensive shootings are over quickly and involve very few rounds being fired, so I'm fine carrying a snub revolver. There are exceptions, but they are extremely rare and I'm ok playing the odds based on stats to gain the ECQ advantages of the hammerless snub. If I truly felt I needed more rounds or wanted to be prepared for those exceptions, I would carry a higher capacity weapon rather than think I can carry multiple reloads to make up the difference.
