This "Daily Defense" video discusses the practical considerations of carrying spare ammunition for concealed carry. It analyzes the statistical likelihood of needing to reload during a civilian gunfight, noting that typically fewer than five rounds are expended. The video advises that if a primary EDC firearm has a magazine capacity of 10 rounds or more, reloads may be less critical. However, for firearms with lower capacities (like a 5-shot revolver), carrying spare ammo is strongly recommended. Factors like concealability, the threat level of the environment, and the ability to use a larger-capacity magazine for a reload are also discussed.
