My 357 is 12+1 and that's a lot of damn shots. I guess they didn't want to double stack the ammo for some reason, they just staggered it in some width vs shots trade off.


357 Sig right?

In my M&P40 video, you'll notice that since 357 Sig shares the same parent case, any 40 S&W capacity is the same in 357 Sig. My buddy's M&P40 will hold 16 rounds of 357 Sig (15+1).

The HK doesn't go full double stack for one reason or another. Whether they felt it was too wide to make the frame as beefy as they wanted, or they thought the staggered approach offered a more reliable feed or reload geometry...I just don't know. Capacity played no significant role in my purchase though, 12+1 is enough for me.

Word. I don't own an Hk but probably will down the road.

I'd be perfectly happy with 5 shots for a concealed gun.

I want 75000 rounds for a combat pistol.

I also don't see myself owning a combat pistol in any near future

Or a ruger or whatever else.

More is better of course, but for a self defense gun I wouldn't feel undergunned with 5 shots. I'm not going towards combat with it.

1911's = every bad arse branch of the US military

Glock's = what I carry for "protection" when I push my kids around in a wagon in our gated community

I don't have much interest in guns made for stopping hoardes of people.

Had he had a Glock, he wouldn't have needed to waste time getting the sand and water out.

I want one. For some reason a 10mm in a big ugly gun just seems right
