The shield is a good little gun and I'm guilty if carrying it alone too much but I try to carry a gun with a little higher capacity but I don't understand why people have such confidence in such low round count.



If you aren't very confident with 7 rounds, then get to the range, my friend. 7 rounds is plenty.

ETA: You can always carry an extra magazine, too.

@ Bapple I understand some people have limitations on what they can carry but that's not necessarily what I'm talking about. You know as well as I do that it's better than nothing but not as good as it could be. That's my only argument here.

@SabiDojo I'm very confident I can take 7 rounds at the range and put them very close to where I'd like them to hit the paper. When you carry a concealed handgun you aren't preparing to shoot 7 round groups with great lighting at a non moving target at 15 yards that will never shoot back. What I'm preparing for is having enough rounds in a handgun to get myself and loved ones out of a terrible situation. Sometimes it only takes one. I'm preparing for a much worse situation. If you think 7 rounds will alway be sufficient then feel confident and carry your 7 rounds but marksmanship won't always compensate for low round capacity.
